Hydrin rubbers

If polypropylene is too hard for the purpose envisaged, then the user should consider, progressively, polyethylene, ethylene-vinyl acetate and plasticised PVC. If more rubberiness is required, then a vulcanising rubber such as natural rubber or SBR or a thermoplastic polyolefin elastomer may be considered. If the material requires to be rubbery and oil and/or heat resistant, vulcanising rubbers such as the polychloroprenes, nitrile rubbers, acrylic rubbers or hydrin rubbers or a thermoplastic elastomer such as a thermoplastic polyester elastomer, thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer or thermoplastic polyamide elastomer may be considered. Where it is important that the elastomer remain rubbery at very low temperatures, then NR, SBR, BR or TPO rubbers may be considered where oil resistance is not a consideration. If, however, oil resistance is important, a polypropylene oxide or hydrin rubber may be preferred. Where a wide temperature service range is paramount, a silicone rubber may be indicated. The selection of rubbery materials has been dealt with by the author elsewhere. ... 

The permanency of the bonded heparin on a number of selected polymer systems has been measured using radiolabeled heparin (35S). It has been found that the loss of heparin after prolonged exposure to distilled water and isotonic saline at 37 °C. is almost negligible for heparinized polypropylene, silicone rubber, and Hydrin rubber. On the other hand, polypropylene loses 70% of its originally bound heparin after exposure to plasma for three hours. Hydrin rubber and silicone rubber lose only from 0 to 5%. The loss of heparin on the polypropylene may be attributed to displacement of the heparin molecules by a protein or combination of proteins. A series of experiments was performed in which...

This approach was used in the development of the epichlorhydrin rubbers which became commercially available around 1965 from Goodrich (Hydrin) and Hercules (Herclor). Both homopolymers of epichlorhydrin (Hydrin 100, Herclor H) and copolymers of epichlorhydrin with ethylene oxide (Hydrin 200, Herclor C) became available. (In 1986 Hercules sold their interest in these materials to Goodrich, who in turn later sold this to Nippon Zeon). 

Poly(epichlorohydrin), CO rubber (Hydrin), was chosen for various reasons. The one reason was that CO has been shown to be miscible with PMMA by Anderson based upon differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) which showed only one glass transition temperature (T ) for the blend (9). Since T is very sensitive to the disruption of the local structure that results when two polymers are mixed, the existence of a single glass transition temperature is a good indicator of miscibility (10). 

PHOSFLEX 179-C (78-30-8) Combustible liquid (flash point 437°F/225°C). Hydrolyzes in water, forming phosphoric acid. Violent reaction with strong oxidizers. Contact with magnesium may cause explosion. The aqueous solution is incompatible with sulfuric acid, caustics, ammonia, aliphatic amines, alkanolamines, isocyanates, alkylene oxides, epichloro-hydrin, nitromethane. Attacks some plastics, rubber, and coatings.

The rubbers have been marketed by Ameripol (Hydrin) and Hercules (Herclor). It is also believed that the Gechron polymers produced by the Nippon Zeon Company are of this type. Each supplier has offered both the homopolymer and the copolymer.
