Formed-in-place gaskets - Silicone RTV sealants are widely used in this application for valve covers, oil pans, thermostats, rear view mirrors. Neoprene sealants have excellent oil and chemical resistance and SBR sealants give good bonding to oily surfaces. Gunnable butyl rubber mastics are used for vibration dampening of panels and as general sealants for frame and body parts. 

In addition to PSAs, elastomers are used in the construction industry for mastic compounds. Neoprene and reclaimed rubber mastics are used to bond gypsum board and plywood flooring to wood framing members. The mastic systems cure by evaporation of solvent through the porous substrates. Elastomer-adhesive formulation is particularly complex because of the need for antioxidants and tackiflers. ...

Hypalon does not break down during mastication in the sense that natural rubber and Neoprene do. These rubbers undergo an irreversible chemical change (i.e., a reduction in molecular weight) when they are worked in the mixing mill.

ENR prepared from chemical modification of NR latex has recently been commercialized. ENR was claimed to have oil resistance property, low gas permeability and more anti-oxidizing and damping than NR. Up to now, many research works have studied its applications and their blends with other polymers such as in this case, the blend between ENR and neoprene (CR) of which the effect of blending ratio on processability of ENR/CR blend was studied by Chiu et al Mastication of ENR (ENR-50, Malaysian Rubber Producers Research Association), CR (ES-2-16K, Du Pont), vulcanizing agent, accelerator, and other related ingredients was carried out in a pressurized kneader (SYD-5, Star-King Enterprise Co., Taiwan) for 17 min under a rotation rate of 77 rpm. Each sample s composition was listed in Table 18.7. 

A number of synthetic rubbers are produced by emulsion polymerization and are, therefore, available in latex form. Those of greatest commercial interest are SBR, acrylic, neoprene, and vinyl acetate-ethylene. Rubber latexes, particularly natural and SBR, have been used for many years in carpet and upholstery backsiz-ings, bag, shoe, and bookbinding adhesives, tile mastics, tire cord dips, and wookworking adhesives.
