KURARAY LIQUID RUBBER products function as \u201creactive plasticizers\u201d, but have much higher molecular weight than normal plasticizers. This means that in the time-consuming and labor-intensive rubber mixing process, they help reduce mooney viscosity and facilitate the mixing process. Better flowability of the compound increases the efficiency of the mixing process significantly. The physical properties of the rubber compounds are retained. Another advantage of the improved viscosity is also a longer service life of the mixing equipment, as the mixer can \u201cstir\u201d the compound better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KURARAY LIQUID RUBBER includes Liquid Butadiene Rubber (L-BR), Liquid Isoprene Rubber (L-IR) and Liquid Polystyrene-Butadiene Rubber (L-SBR). The high-viscosity synthetic rubbers are colorless, transparent, almost completely odorless and have low VOC values. The polymers of butadiene, isoprene and styrene have a low molecular weight, which is designed between solid rubber and plasticizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KURARAY LIQUID RUBBER grades are co-vulcanizable with the base rubber to prevent migration. The significantly reduced migration massively improves the shelf life and durability of the products. Depending on the molecular weight of the grades, they can either replace part of the rubber in the formulation (high molecular weight) or replace all or part of the oil in the formulation (low molecular weight).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
