Olefin copolymers styrene-butadiene rubber

The category of elastomers includes a wide range of products, such as natural rubber (NR), styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), styrene-butadiene-styrene copolymer (SBS known as thermoplastic rubber), styrene-isoprene-styrene copolymer (SIS), polyurethane rubber, polyether-polyester copolymer, olefinic copolymers, ethylene-propylene rubber (EPR) and so on (see also Table 3.16).

Another contrarian, DSM in the Netherlands, had been a state-owned company before it became privatized, a process that began in 1989 and was completed in 1996. From its past it had inherited positions in fertilizers, industrial chemicals, and such intermediates as melamine and caprolactam as well as polyolefins, with access to basic olefins through its own crackers in Geleen, Netherlands. In 1997 DSM acquired the polyethylene and polypropylene operations of FIuls (VEBA) with the Gelsenkirchen site. The company had also diversified into elastomers, having purchased in the United States the Copolymer Rubber and Chemical Corporation, which contributed to DSM s expansion into the fields of ethylene propylene, styrene butadiene, and nitrile rubbers. DSM is also a supplier of industrial resins and engineering... [Pg.60]

It is claimed that styrene/butadiene diblock polymers bring about an improvement in the hardness, strength, and processability of polybutadiene elastomers (27), as well as an improvement in the ozone resistance of neoprene rubber (28). Styrene diblock polymers have also been made with isoprene, a-methyIstyrene, methyl methacrylate, vinylpyridine, and a-olefins. Block copolymers of ethylene, propylene, and other a-olefins with each other have been made as well. Heteroatom block copolymers based on styrene or other hydrocarbons and alkylene oxides, phenylene oxides, lactones, amides, imides, sulfides, or slloxanes have been prepared. [Pg.225]

In general two types of adhesives are used for the manufacture of baby diapers, feminine-hygiene, and incontinence products. For simple construction purposes, hot-melt adhesives based on amorphous poly(alpha-olefins) (APAOs) are used. High-quality constructions are produced with adhesives based on styrenic block copolymers. For bonding of elastic materials such as polyurethane foam, lycra and natural rubber strands, and hydrophilic and hydrophobic of nonwovens, pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) based on styrenic block copolymers are used. Hot-melt adhesives are the most common types of adhesive. The most widely used synthetic block copolymers are styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS), styrene-isoprene-styrene (SIS), and styrene-ethylene-butadiene-styrene (SEES) with different styrene contents.

The isoprene units in the copolymer impart the ability to crosslink the product. Polystyrene is far too rigid to be used as an elastomer but styrene copolymers with 1,3-butadiene (SBR rubber) are quite flexible and rubbery. Polyethylene is a crystalline plastic while ethylene-propylene copolymers and terpolymers of ethylene, propylene and diene (e.g., dicyclopentadiene, hexa-1,4-diene, 2-ethylidenenorborn-5-ene) are elastomers (EPR and EPDM rubbers). Nitrile or NBR rubber is a copolymer of acrylonitrile and 1,3-butadiene. Vinylidene fluoride-chlorotrifluoroethylene and olefin-acrylic ester copolymers and 1,3-butadiene-styrene-vinyl pyridine terpolymer are examples of specialty elastomers. [Pg.20]

The use of olefin rubbers [18] as good impact modifiers for sPS when used in conjunction with S-B or S-B-S block copolymers, which may be hydrogenated in the butadiene phase, has also been described. Instead of butadiene, isoprene can be used. Examples of the olefinic polymers are polyethylene, ethylene-propylene rubbers (EPR) and polypropylene-(ethylene propylene rubber) block copolymers. Here the styrene block copolymers presumably function as... [Pg.421]

Thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) is a generic name that refers to polyolefin blends usually consisting of some fraction of polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene block copolymer (PP-b-EP or BCPP ), and a thermoplastic olefinic rubber, with or without a mineral reinforcing filler such as talc or wollastonite. Common rubbers include ethylene propylene rubber (EPR), EPDM rubber, ethylene-octene (EO) copolymer mbber, ethylene-butadiene (EB), and styrene-ethylene-butadiene-styrene (SEBS) block copolymer rubbers. Currently, there are a great variety of commercial polypropylene homopolymers, PP block copolymers, and olefinic rubbers available to make a wide range of TPO blends with densities ranging from 0.92 to 1.1.
