SUNIGUM ELASTOMERS
Sunigum elastomer is a precrosslinked, acrylate terpolymer with functional carboxylic groups. Is is intrinsically resistant to degradation by heat and UV radiation, and to many chemicals including oils & fuels. Its novel
composition and structure make it compatible with a wide range of polar resins: PVC, CPE, COPE, TPU, ASA/ABS/SAN and other polymers with some polarity such as ethylene copolymers (EVA and EMA provided
the co-monomer content is at least 20%). Although Sunigum is not directly compatible with non polar resins, it can be blended with polyolefins through reactive compatibilization techniques, for example using glycidyl
containing ethylene copolymers as compatibilizers.

Sunigum's basic properties and flexibilizing potential allow users to tailor-make softer grades of general-purpose and engineering grade thermoplastic elastomers where aesthetics, color-retention and weatherability
are of prime importance.

CHEMIGUM® ELASTOMERS

Chemigum NBR elastomers, copolymers of acrylonitrile and butadiene, are known for their good mechanical properties and resistance to fuels, fats and oils. In blends with PVC, Chemigum elastomers enhance
physical properties and chemical resistance. In addition, they help minimize loss of liquid plasticizers due to extraction, volatility or migration, thus maintaining flexibility under harsh conditions.

Chemigum elastomers are also widely used in friction material compositions in which they contribute significant advantages in both processing and performance.

Different Chemigum grades have been developed in powder form to meet specific processing or end-use requirements.

PLIOCORD VP latex, PLIOCORD SB LATEX
Pliocord latex is the trade name for vinyl-pyridine and SBR latex specifically developed for the adhesion between rubber stock and fabric reinforcement materials. The adhesive compound, so called RFL, is based on
VP latex and resorcinol formaldehyde resin. RFL are designed according to the fiber type, the end use, the chemical and mechanical requirements but also the dipping process.

Rubber Reinforcement

Pliolite S6
S6 resins are emulsion polymerized styrene butadiene copolymers used for rubber reinforcement (SBR, EVA, NR, CR, BR, EPDM, etc.). It gives high hardness and modulus with good flex
and cut resistance at low specific gravity.

S6 resins are cost effective, improve processing and are a good alternative to high loadings of mineral fillers.

Pliolite HSR

HSR styrene-rubber masterbatch resins are also used for reinforcement of natural & synthetic rubbers. Grades vary in styrene content to enable customize reinforcement depending on the
nature of the host rubber
