Ricon® High Vinyl Content Homopolymers

Ricon® high vinyl polybutadiene resins are low molecular weight homopolymers designed for high reactivity, hydrophobicity, and excellent processing characteristics. These resins are suitable for elastomer and polymer applications, including use as non-extractable process aids and coagents for elastomer cure.

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.
