Ricon® High Vinyl Content Homopolymers

Ricon 142

Ricon 142 is a homopolymer of butadiene.

Ricon 150

Ricon® 150 is a low molecular weight, liquid polybutadiene resin with high vinyl functionality for high reactivity, exceptional hydrophobicity and excellent processing characteristics.

  • High reactivity
  • Low temperature flexibility
  • Excellent dielectric properties
  • Excellent hydrophobicity
  • Good hardness
  • Good compression set
  • Abrasion resistance
  • High tear strength

Ricon 152

Ricon® 152 is a low molecular weight, liquid polybutadiene resin with high vinyl functionality for high reactivity, exceptional hydrophobicity and excellent processing characteristics. This resin is suitable for use in peroxide- and sulfur-cured elastomers, where it acts as a non-extractable plasticizer and process aid. Its polymeric structure gives excellent compatibility in saturated and unsaturated elastomers, especially olefinic-based elastomers and thermoplastic resins. The resin is a Type II coagent, giving excellent crosslink densities without affecting the rate of cure.

  • High reactivity
  • Excellent dielectric properties
  • Excellent hydrophobicity
  • Low-temperature flexibility
  • Coagent for elastomer cure

Ricon 152D/DA

Ricon® 152 DA is a low molecular weight, liquid polybutadiene resin, dispersed on a calcium silicate carrier for ease in handling. Ricon® 152 DA has high vinyl functionality for high reactivity, exceptional hydrophobicity and excellent processing characteristics.

  • Free flowing powder
  • High reactivity
  • Excellent dielectric properties
  • Excellent hydrophobicity
  • Low-temperature flexibility
  • Coagent for elastomer cure

Ricon 153

Ricon® 153 is a low molecular weight, liquid polybutadiene resin with high vinyl functionality for high reactivity, exceptional hydrophobicity and excellent processing characteristics. This resin is suitable for use in peroxide- and sulfur-cured elastomers, where it acts as a non-extractable plasticizer and process aid. Its polymeric structure gives excellent compatibility in saturated and unsaturated elastomers, especially olefinic-based elastomers and thermoplastic resins.

Ricon 156

Ricon® 156 is a very low molecular weight, liquid polybutadiene resin with high vinyl functionality for high reactivity, exceptional hydrophobicity and excellent processing characteristics. This resin is suitable for use in peroxide and sulfur-cured elastomers as a non-extractable plasticizer and process aid, where low viscosity and good reactivity are desired.

  • High reactivity
  • Excellent dielectric properties
  • Excellent hydrophobicity
  • Low temperature flexibility

Ricon 157

Ricon® 157 is a very low molecular weight, liquid polybutadiene resin with high vinyl functionality for high reactivity, exceptional hydrophobicity and excellent processing characteristics. This resin is suitable for use in peroxide and sulfur-cured elastomers as a non-extractable plasticizer and process aid, where low viscosity and good reactivity are desired.

  • Non-extractable process aid
  • Excellent hydrophobocity
  • Enhanced winter tractoin of tires
  • Abrasion resistance
