APPLICATIONS DPR Liquid Natural Rubber The DPR products are low molecular weight, liquid polymers of natural rubber. DPR liquid rubber offers processing flexibility and performance options for a wide range of applications. They contain no solvents or additives; and they are compatible with a broad range of solvents, plasticizers, resins and polymers. DPR liquid natural rubber is available in several grades that vary by molecular weight. The lower weight grades have lower viscosity. Liquid natural rubber improves rubber and polymer compounding. It acts as a plasticizer to reduce cycle time and energy consumption. Since it cures by the same mechanism as natural rubber, it becomes part of the polymer matrix and remains non-fugitive. Typical Applications

DPR liquid rubber provides all the performance properties of natural rubber in a convenient liquid. Liquid rubber performs many functions in a wide range of applications:

Binder for aggregates, grinding wheels, and friction products.

Rubber processing aid.

Rubber performance improvement.

Reactive vehicle for rubber additives.

Rheology modifier for lubricants.

Polymer base for molding and tooling systems.

Polymer base for electrical encapsulants.

Asphalt modifier. DPR liquid rubber has excellent wetting characteristics. It binds synthetic fibers and other reinforcements into polymer matrices. DPR can bind more than ten times its weight in fillers and abrasives for grinding wheels and other friction products. DPR reduces the viscosity of uncured rubber systems at levels of 5-to-20 parts of polymer. This reduces power requirements, improves blend consistency, and reduces the risk of scorching. It is also used with such polymers as polychloroprene, EPDM, polybutadiene, SBR and acrylonitrile-isoprene. DPR liquid rubber improves the stability of heavy-duty lubricants by increasing the resistance to flow on vertical surfaces and by holding dry additives in a more stable suspension. It also improves asphalt formulations by reducing flow at high temperatures and improving properties at cold temperatures. ISOLENE Liquid Synthetic Rubber The ISOLENE products are low molecular weight, liquid polymers of synthetic rubber. They are translucent, honey-colored liquids in bulk volume and clear in thin films. The color and clarity are ideal for pressure sensitive adhesives (PSA), UV curable polymer systems, and S-I-S and S-B-S block copolymer compounding. The ISOLENE products improve adhesive and polymer compounding. They act as plasticizers to reduce cycle time and energy consumption. They cure into the polymer matrix and remain non-fugitive in the final product. ISOLENE polymers are available in two commercial grades—The regular ISOLENE polymer and the ISOLENE S-Grades. The S-Grades contain an antioxidant to improve the long-term color stability. Both grades come in two standard viscosities. Typical Applications The light colored ISOLENE products are ideal for compounding PSA. The low molecular weight liquid polymers

are reactive plasticizers that improve several adhesive attributes:

Impart green tack. Maintain adhesion at low temperatures. Improve coating and flow characteristics. Improve adhesion to flexible substrates. Avoid bleed-through associated with other plasticizers.

The ISOLENE products improve the solubility of polymers in the adhesive. They reduce the required energy and time to compound S-I-S pressure sensitive adhesives. ISOLENE products can soften hot melt adhesives and lower their melt temperature. ISOLENE polymers form the base polymer in such UV-cured systems as PSA, flexible printing plates, and other radiation cured systems. KALENE Liquid Butyl Rubber The KALENE products are low-molecular-weight liquid polymers of butyl rubber and no solvents. They provide gas impermeability, chemical resistance, moisture resistance, and good electrical properties. Typical Applications The KALENE products impart the performance benefits of butyl rubber and provide the processing convenience of a liquid. They make convenient bases for sealants, coatings, and adhesives. These coatings have higher solids than those based on butyl rubber because the KALENE products are liquids. KALENE’s butyl properties impart chemical resistance to a wide variety of sealants and adhesives. Underwater marine and roof coatings take advantage of the resistance to salt and fresh water. Such applications as tank linings and coatings utilize the chemical and moisture resistant properties. The KALENE products provide tack to pressure sensitive adhesives and they improve the adhesion of butyl-based adhesives and sealants. They also act as reactive plasticizers for conventional butyl to improve compounding efficiency. Since they cure by the same mechanism as butyl rubber, they become part of the polymer matrix. They are non-fugitive. KALAR Cross-Linked Butyl Pellets The KALAR products are partially cross-linked butyl rubber compounds. They are pellitized for easy handling. They feature the performance benefits of butyl rubber, the processing ease of pellets, and the ability to maintain their properties with a high level of fillers and plasticizers. They also impart excellent resistance to creep and flow. The KALAR products provide act as the base polymer or as a performance additive for adhesives and sealants that require the properties of butyl rubber. These benefits include

excellent chemical resistance, moisture & gas impermeability, good electrical properties and resistance to aging. The KALAR products offer several processing benefits to formulators of butyl systems:

Eliminates butyl rubber premastication.

Requires no vulcanization.

Dissolves easily in a wide range of solvents.

Extends with high levels of fillers and plasiticizers.

Blends readily with other compounding ingredients. Typical Applications The principal applications for KALAR cross-linked butyl are as sealants for commercial and industrial markets:

Industrial sealant tape.

Architectural glazing tape.

Automotive windshield tape.

Automotive sealant and sound deadening compound.

Tire sealant.

High-strength thermoplastic sealant.

Weather-proofing sealant tape. KALAR products impart the benefits of butyl rubber to many other applications. These applications incorporate KALAR products in concentrations that range from a few percent to the major part of the formulation:

Hot-melt glazing compounds.

Solvent release coatings.

Caulks.

Construction adhesives.

Tank linings and roof coatings.

The processing advantages make the KALAR products a convenient tool for compounders. They use KALAR products in small concentrations in conventional systems:

Processing aid for butyl rubber.

Enhance green strength in butyl and EPDM compounds. PACKAGING, HANDLING AND PROCESSING DPR and ISOLENE Both of these products are packaged in open-head drums. All grades may be charged directly from container to the appropriate mixing vessel DPR and ISOLENE likewise may be stored at elevated temperatures, which do not exceed 60°C. This pre-heating may be done for several days prior to use. Drums should always be vented during any exposure to elevated temperatures to avoid pressurizing that container.

Compounding DPR and ISOLENE can usually be accomplished in comparatively lightweight mixers such as open churns. Efficient blending is usually possible with slow mixing. When a master batch technique is utilized, the initial addition of plasticizer is minimized. Dough mixers of the Hobart type are often used. If only a small amount of dry ingredients is to be incorporated, it should be mixed with part of the rubber to form a master batch. After an adequate dispersion is reached, the master batch can be let down gradually with the addition of the remaining liquids. When the dispersion must be optimized, a final processing step would be milling on a three-roll paint mill. More intense mixing, which would be required by extremely high consistency pastes, is possible using internal kneader-type equipment, manufactured by Bramley or Baker-Perkins. KALENE KALENE is packaged in fiber kegs that are treated with a non-transferable release coating. The KALENE can be removed from the keg by first removing the lid and then inverting the keg on a sheet of release paper or other suitable release-coated surface. Holes should be punched in the bottom of the keg to break the partial vacuum, which may exist. If innocuous fillers are part of the compound, the exposed surfaces of the KALENE "slug" can be immediately dusted to prevent further sticking. If the KALENE is going to be cut in solvent, it can be incrementally charged to a sigma blade type mixer. KALENE can be compounded in two ways. The polymer may be blended directly with the other compounding ingredients in a sigma blade type mixer. An alternate procedure would pre-cut the KALENE with solvent, such as a mineral spirits. This allows ingredient additions to be made in conventional equipment used by the sealant and paint industries. Generally, Sigma blade-type mixers are employed for the first compounding method. With the latter method, an adequate dispersion of solids is accomplished on a three-roll paint mill or ball mill as a final processing step. KALAR The pelletized KALAR is supplied in boxes. Coatings may be produced by adding the KALAR pellets directly to solvent, using a high-speed homogenizer-disperser. Other ingredients predispersed in part of the solvent/polymer blend are added as a final step. Caulks and sealants may be made in Sigma blade mixers by first charging the KALAR to the pre heated mixer. The pelletized KALAR should be permitted to mass before any

other ingredients are added. This important first step takes approximately 10-15 minuets depending on the temperature and efficiency of the mixer. Then the addition of alternating increments of filler and solvent would follow. Any plasticizer should be added last. Hot melts can be mixed in high-powered Sigma blade mixers capable of being heated. The usual order of addition is polymer followed by the gradual addition of alternating increments of filler and plasticizers. Very stiff compounds may be mixed in a Banbury or on a two-roll rubber mill.

THE SPECIALTY POLYMERS AS PROCESSING AIDS The advantages of blending the liquid polymers with their conventional counterparts are: Lower Mooney plasticities and better mold flow. Easier processing without sacrificing heat-aging properties. Non-volatility and resistance to extraction. Improved "green tack." KALAR may be used as a processing aid and "green strength" enhancer for extruding and calendaring operations by helping to control shrinkage, die swell and splicing.

BUTYL SEALANTS KALAR AUTOMOTIVE TAPE SEALANT KALAR 5215 100N-347 Carbon 90Indopol H100 55Sunpar 2280 30 MIXING PROCEDURE Pre-heat Sigma blade mixer for approximately 3 minutes, thereafter use cold water. Charge KALAR, ½ black, 2/3 Indopol and total of Sunpar 2280. After 12 minutes of mixing, charge balance of Indopol and ½ of remaining black. When 20 minutes of mixing time has elapsed, begin adding remaining black slowly. Batch may be dumped in about 35 minutes from start of mix. An alternate procedure first utilizes a Banbury to make an intermediate mix by omitting the Indopol. This intermediate mix is later charged to a Sigma blade mixer for finishing with the addition of the Indopol. Batches by the former procedure require about 1/3 more Indopol to reach the same compression values of similar stocks by the latter method. MIXING EQUIPMENT Sigma blade type mixer.

The elastomer base and PVC base are mixed separately and combined later to form the finished expandable sealant. (ELASTOMER BASE) All ingredients except the Dechlorane and Hydral are charged to a charge-can-type mixer. The charged ingredients are blended approximately 15 minutes, then transferred to a paint mill to optimize the dispersion of the active rubber chemicals and Twinkling Star Antimony Oxide. The milled compound is returned to the original mixing vessel, where the balance of ingredients is added. The mixing time of this final step is approximately 15 minutes. (PVC BASE) Charge Day mixer with 1/3 of DOP; add total of stabilizer and Celogen OT. With mixer on slow speed, incrementally add total of Resin 7401. After resin is

completely wetted out, slowly add balance of DOP. Total mixing time is approximately 15 minutes. The bases, when blended, result in a soft thixotropic paste. This combination offers a sealant with properties of both polymers to produce low-density, flame-retardant sealant which remains in a thixotropic state during the vulcanization/fusing process. Physical properties of this type of compound may be varied by adjusting the proportion of the PVC base to the elastomer base. MIXING EQUIPMENT Day mixer and paint mill.

The batch is dumped and allowed to cool. The curatives are then introduced to the batch on a cool two roll mill. The batch is finally solvated in a churn to 30-40% solids using a 1:1 blend of hexane/toluene. A simplified alternate mixing procedure would utilize an internal mixer of the kneader-extruder type. The batch should be held as "tight" as possible by minimizing solvent additions to ensure a good dispersion of the dry ingredients. The final step would be the addition of the remaining solvent. Solvent adjustments should be made at this time to bring the batch to the proper solids level.

The one part coating is designed for knife or dip coating fabric. MIXING EQUIPMENT Banbury, Two Roll Mill and Churn. Alternate: Kneader- extruder type mixer. CURE SCHEDULE 20 minutes @ 160°C. CURED PHYSICAL PROPERTIES from press cured solid stock:

These dispersed powdered concentrated offer less critical proportioning and dust free addition. Dispersions based on the liquid polymers are more readily incorporated into the final compound. Since the liquid polymers are reactive, they become non-fugitive once vulcanization is complete. Small additions of DPR, ISOLENE and KALENE impart significant rheology changes to many oils. Advantages are increased flow resistance on vertical surfaces and an improvement in the oil's ability to hold dry additives in suspension.

PEROXIDE CURE WITH ISOLENE/MONOMER/POLYMER BLENDS ISOLENE/REACTIVE MONOMER (POLYMER) CO-CURES As with the majority of conventional unsaturated elastomers, DPR and ISOLENE may be cross-linked with peroxides. This method of vulcanization allows carbon-carbon linkages between the rubber chains, as opposed to a bridged network formed by intermediate structures encountered with the other types of vulcanization mechanisms. The ensuing data is narrow in scope and touches on only a few of the many possible monomer/polymer combinations which may be co-cured with ISOLENE.

Some of the key advantages of these "alloyed" blends are:

Single-component compounds

Compounds which at one extreme can be processed as low-viscosity fluids or at the other extreme compounds which may be formulated so that processing from a powdered state is possible.

ISOLENE compounds may be formulated with low compression set values typical of peroxide cures.

Compounds may be designed with increased flexibility, resilience and improved impact resistance.

Compounds can be tailored for other specific application needs by the proper selection of components from a broad list of co-reactive monomers and polymers.

Compounds can be developed over a wide durometer range extending from Shore A to the Shore D scale.

The limitations of this study allowed the evaluation of only a select number of monomers and polymers. Relative to the numerous materials known to react via the peroxide mechanism this list is abbreviated. The majority of these ingredients were evaluated at additive levels to determine compatibility, reactivity and contribution to the total system. The list of monomers and polymers considered are included in the following tables.

Table IV is a list of three of the most effective peroxides.

TABLE IV

Peroxides Varox DCP-40C Lupersol 101 t-Butyl Perbenzoate Preparation of compounds evaluated in the laboratory was accomplished by simply hand-blending ISOLENE with the particular monomer or monomer combination. The chosen liquid peroxides were added to this blend along with a few drops of antifoam agent. While most compounds could be hand-blended, the more viscous polymer combinations and the systems using the solid Varox DCP-40C were mixed mechanically to insure uniformity. All compounds were de-aerated prior to the curing of test specimens. Test specimens were prepared from 70 mil sheets made from casting and curing the liquid system between glass plates. An equally successful method of specimen preparation utilized the "press-cure" route. Although a cycle of 10 minutes at 300°F resulted in adequate cures where heat transfer was efficient, the majority of specimens were cured for 1 hour at 300°F. There were no significant differences noted in the properties of samples prepared using either of the two techniques. In the case of formulations that included polymers, the above pattern was slightly modified in that a nominal amount of monomer was used as a reactive co-diluent to facilitate blending of the ISOLENE and the other polymers. The following data are not directed toward any particular application; nonetheless this brief study establishes a versatile alternate formulating approach to compounds based on the liquid polyisoprenes.
