The saturated polymers produced by polyolefin
elastomer have excellent UV resistance.
Key statement:
Elastomer composition having a self-sealing property which can be used in particular as a puncture-resistant layer in an inflatable article, based on at least (phr meaning parts by weight per 100 parts of solid
elastomer): a blend of at least two solid
elastomers, a polybutadiene or butadiene copolymer
elastomer, referred to as "
elastomer A" and a natural rubber or synthetic polyisoprene
elastomer, referred to as "
elastomer B," the
elastomer A:elastomer B ratio by weight being within a range from 10:90 to 90:10; between 30 and 90 phr of a hydrocarbon resin; from 0 to less than 30 phr of filler.
The report also highlighted the need to consider a National
Elastomers Centre to coordinate
elastomer activities.
Disposable diapers, like many consumer products, contain
elastomer - a stretchable material made of chain-like molecules called polymers.
Key statement: A pigment and method for making a pigment comprising a milled
elastomer, wherein the milled
elastomer has a D50 particle size of between about 5 and about 50 microns.
of research and development Kurt Swogger, the first OBCs Dow has developed consist of regularly alternating amorphous soft blocks of Engage-type ethylene-octene
elastomer and more crystalline hard blocks of linear MDPE.
Key statement: A method of functionalizing reclaimed
elastomer material is described.
One highlight will be a novel aliphatic PUR cast
elastomer technology said to enable production of highly transparent parts with unique property profiles.
Key statement:
Elastomer compositions comprising uncured
elastomer and reclaimed
elastomer are described.
Engineers and formulators in the mining, defense, automotive and aerospace industries can use Transfinity
elastomer composites, a new class of materials, to design significantly longer lasting and/or smaller products.
This two-day conference will look at a range of silicone
elastomer materials, including high temperature vulcanized, room temperature vulcanized and liquid silicone rubber, providing a forum for manufacturers, processors, designers and researchers to share developments in new applications and processing technologies.
The chart, "Properties of selected
elastomers," rates each
elastomer on a four-step scale from excellent to poor.
