The Difference of Butyl Rubber and Butadiene Styrene Rubber? by Butyl Rubber Sheets - [email protected], Date: Sep.18.06
The difference of butyl rubber and butadiene styrene rubber? By Butyl Rubber Sheets - www.dongrubber.com, [email protected], Date: Sep.18.06 Butyl rubber sheets is a kind of synthetic rubber which is a copolymer of Isobutylene and a small amount of isoprene copolymer, short for IIR. Butyl rubber sheeting has good chemical stability and thermal stability, the most prominent character is the air tightness and water tightness. Its air transmittance is only about 1/7 of the natural rubber, 1/5 of the styrene-butadiene rubber. Meanwhile its transmittance of steam is 1/200 of the natural rubber, and 1/140 of the styrene-butadiene rubber. Thus IIR is mainly used in the manufacture of tires, inner tubes, steam pipe, water dam and bottom gasket and other rubber products. Styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) is one of the biggest general synthetic rubber varieties, and is also among the first rubber to realize industrialization production. Styrene butadiene rubber sheet is a random copolymer of butadiene and styrene. Its physical performance, processing performance and product performance is close to those of natural rubber sheets, and some properties such as wear resistance, heat resistance, ageing resistance and curing rate are more excellent than natural rubber sheeting, SBR can be used with a variety of natural rubber sheets and synthetic rubbers, widely applied to tires, tape, rubber hose, wire and cable, medical instruments and various kinds of rubber products production and other fields.

5. Progress in Radiation Vulcanization of Natural Rubber Latex
JP0050691 JAERI-Conf 2000^003 5. Progress in Radiation Vulcanization of Natural Rubber Latex K. MAKUUCHI Takasaki Radiation Chemistry Research Establishment, JAERI 1233 Watanuki, Takasaki Gunma, 370-12 Japan 1. INTRODUCTION Radiation-induced crosslinking of natural rubber in latex can be accomplished by irradiating NR latex. The dose at which the maximum tensile strength (Tb) is found is called vulcanization dose (Dv). The Dv of NR latex is more than 250 kGy that is too high to be used in industry. The first RV accelerators proposed was carbon tetrachloride. Addition of 5 phr of carbon tetrachloride can reduce. The RVNRL was selected as one of the regional projects of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) known as the Regional Cooperative Agreement in the Asia and Pacific Region (RCA) in 1981. A pilot plant for the RVNRL was built in. Jakarta in 1983. The products from the pilot plant were tested and evaluated by several institutes in the region during 1983-1985, The results were as follows: Low tensile strength (less than 20MPa) Poor aging properties Inconsistent properties Not economic due to high dose requirement No advantages The results caused argument among the RCA member states and the IAEA whether the project should be continued or stopped. The preliminary R&D in the TRCRE on RVNRL indicated that the properties of RVNRL could be improved by proper selection of an accelerator. Finally, the IAEA decided to support the R&D on RVNRL at Takasaki. The following R&D were carried out in 1985 - 1989. Selection of NR latex to improve tensile strength Selection of accelerator to reduce required dose Selection of process factors to avoid inconsistency Selection of antioxidants to improve aging properties Biological safety test to find advantages of RVNRL As an accelerator n-butyl acrylate (n-BA) was selected by reason of its high accelerating efficiency, no residue in the final dipped products and tolerable price. -
Vulcanization & Accelerators
Vulcanization & Accelerators Vulcanization is a cross linking process in which individual molecules of rubber (polymer) are converted into a three dimensional network of interconnected (polymer) chains through chemical cross links(of sulfur). The vulcanization process was discovered in 1839 and the individuals responsible for this discovery were Charles Goodyear in USA and Thomas Hancock in England. Both discovered the use of Sulfur and White Lead as a vulcanization system for Natural Rubber. This discovery was a major technological breakthrough for the advancement of the world economy. Vulcanization of rubbers by sulfur alone is an extremely slow and inefficient process. The chemical reaction between sulfur and the Rubber Hydrocarbon occurs mainly at the C = C (double bonds) and each crosslink requires 40 to 55 sulphur atoms (in the absence of accelerator). The process takes around 6 hours at 140°C for completion, which is uneconomical by any production standards. The vulcanizates thus produced are extremely prone to oxidative degradation and do not possess adequate mechanical properties for practical rubber applications. These limitations were overcome through inventions of accelerators which subsequently became a part of rubber compounding formulations as well as subjects of further R&D. Following is the summary of events which led to the progress of ‘Accelerated Sulfur Vulcanization'. Event Year Progress - Discovery of Sulfur Vulcanization: Charles Goodyear. 1839 Vulcanizing Agent - Use of ammonia & aliphatic ammonium derivatives: Rowley. 1881 Acceleration need - Use of aniline as accelerator in USA & Germany: Oenslager. 1906 Accelerated Cure - Use of Piperidine accelerator- Germany. 1911 New Molecules - Use of aldehyde-amine & HMT as accelerators in USA & UK 1914-15 Amine Accelerators - Use of Zn-Alkyl Xanthates accelerators in Russia. -

Crosslink Density of Rubbers
Characterisation of Crosslinks in Vulcanised Rubbers: From Simple to Advanced Techniques K.L. Mok* and A.H. Eng** *Malaysian Rubber Board, Paper Presenter **Malaysian Institute of Chemistry Copyright © 2017 by K.L. Mok and A.H. Eng 1 Rubber & Elastomer • Rubbery: 1) Sufficient long chain; 2) Flexible molecules with noncollinear single bonds that allow segmental rotations along the backbone; 3) Non crystalline at service temperature • Rubber vs Elastomer: Rubber commonly refers to elastic materials that requires vulcanisation before they can be used in the products. However, there are elastic polymers that do not require vulcanisation such as polyurethane (PU), styrene- isoprene (SIS) copolymer. These elastic materials are classified under elastomer, which normally also includes rubbers. • Unvulcanised Rubbers: Unvulcanised rubbers are normally weak when put under stress during use. With very few exceptions, such as rubber glues almost all rubber products require vulcanisation to provide the required strength for a longer design life. • Elastomers: Polyurethane (PU), styrene-isoprene (SIS) copolymer, do not require vulcanisation to have good strength properties as they contain the hard segment Copyrightwhich © 2017 by K.L.is Mok good and A.H. Engfor strength and the soft segment good elasticity properties. 2 Rubber Vulcanisation & Crosslink Density • Vulcanization or vulcanisation: A reaction that leads to the formation of inter-molecular bonding among the unsaturated rubber molecules with 3 dimensional network such that the mechanical properties such as tensile strength is enhanced. The vulcanising agent originally referred to was elemental sulfur. Later, sulfur donor was included. It now also includes non sulfur systems such as metal oxide and peroxides. -
Tensile Properties of Pre-Vulcanised Natural Rubber Latex Films Via Hybrid Radiation and Peroxide Vulcanisations
ASM Sci. J., 11(2), 67-75 Tensile Properties of Pre-vulcanised Natural Rubber Latex Films via Hybrid Radiation and Peroxide Vulcanisations Sofian Ibrahim1;2∗, Chai Chee Keong1, Chantara Thevy Ratnam1 and Khairiah Badri2 1Malaysian Nuclear Agency, 43000 Kajang, Selangor, Malaysia 2School of Chemical Science and Food Technology, Faculty of Science and Technology, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, 43600 UKM Bangi, Selangor, Malaysia Radiation pre-vulcanised natural rubber latex (RVNRL) prepared by using gamma irradia- tion technique has many advantages over the conventionally prepared sulphur pre-vulcanised natural rubber latex (SPVL). Despite the fact that many potential latex dipped products can be made from RVNRL, little effort was made to fully commercialise the products because of the inferior strength of RVNRL products compared to SPVL products. An attempt was made to improve the tensile strength of RVNRL by combining both radiation and peroxide vulcanisation in order to ensure that the products will not tear or fail, and has sufficient stretch. Hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA) plays the main role as sensitizer during radiation vulcanisation and tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHPO) as the co-sensitizer in peroxide vul- canisation. Pre-vulcanised natural rubber latex dipped films via hybrid radiation and perox- idation vulcanisations obtained showed tensile strength of 26.7 MPa, an increment of more than 15% compared to controlled film (22.5 MPa). Besides, the crosslink percentage of the rubber films also showed around 5% increment from 90.7% to 95.6%. Keywords: RVNRL, vulcanisation, irradiation, latex I.

Model Vulcanization Systems for Butyl Rubber and Halobutyl Rubber Manual
Exxon™ butyl and halobutyl rubber Model vulcanization systems for butyl rubber and halobutyl rubber manual Country name(s) 2 - Model vulcanization systems for butyl rubber and halobutyl rubber manual Model vulcanization systems for butyl rubber and halobutyl rubber manual - 3 Abstract The vulcanization of isobutylene-co-isoprene rubber (IIR), brominated isobutylene-co-isoprene rubber (BIIR), chlorinated isobutylene-co-isoprene rubber (CIIR), and brominated isobutylene-co-para-methylstyrene elastomer (BIMSM) differs from that of general-purpose rubbers (GPR). Butyl rubber has approximately 2% unsaturation in the backbone. Halobutyl rubber (BIIR and CIIR) incorporates the butyl backbone with either bromine or chlorine, which significantly increases the chemical reactivity of the isoprenyl units located in the butyl backbone. Similarly, in BIMSM the bromine atom is bonded to the para-methylstyrene (PMS) group, thus affording the completely saturated polymer backbone a site of chemical reactivity. Utilization of the unique attributes of butyl rubber and halobutyl rubbers with their minimal backbone unsaturation and of BIMSM elastomers with no backbone unsaturation is found in many areas of industry. These properties are excellent vapor impermeation, resistance to heat degradation, and improved chemical resistance as compared to general-purpose rubbers. However, this low amount of reactivity requires special consideration to vulcanize these isobutylene-based polymers. The type of vulcanization system selected is a function of the composite structure in which it is used, and the cured product performance requirements. Therefore, vulcanization systems vary and may include an accelerator package along with resins, zinc oxide, zinc oxide and sulfur, and quinoid systems. This review will discuss the types and selection of appropriate vulcanization systems for isobutylene-based elastomers. -

Effect of the Nitrile Content on Nitrile Rubber Cure in Wide Temperature Range
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH VOLUME 9, ISSUE 02, FEBRUARY 2020 ISSN 2277-8616 Effect Of The Nitrile Content On Nitrile Rubber Cure In Wide Temperature Range. Denis Kalugin, Anton Nashchokin, Anna Sutyagina, Nikolay Tikhonov, Artem Malakho Victor Avdeev Abstract: Vulcanization of NBR rubber with different nitrile content was studied. Enthalpy of vulcanization drops from 6.62J/g for 18% nitrile rubber to 1.89J/g for 40% one. The peak of vulcanization shifts to higher temperatures for 12°C with nitrile content increase. No secondary vulcanization process was observed for 18% nitrile rubber. The other rubbers possess thermal polymerization at 285°C in neat rubbers accelerated by nitrile groups. This process is additionally accelerated when vulcanization additives are present in rubber. Thus the post-vulcanization peak shifts up to 20°C to lower temperatures for 40% nitrile rubber with increase in enthalpy in 5 times compared to neat rubber. When heated at 250°C for 6 hours no significant change in rubber hardness is occurred for 18% nitrile rubber and 2 times increase for 40% nitrile rubber is measured indicating dramatic role of nitrile content for rubber properties. No considerable effect of nitrile groups cross link on rubber hardness is observed.
