Hypro 2000X162 CTB
Hypro 2000X162 CTB: Hypro® Reactive Liquid Polymers (RLP) are 100% solids liquid rubbers used to improve the toughness, flexibility, adhesion, and impact resistance of thermoset resin systems including epoxies, vinyl esters, unsaturated polyesters, acrylics, and urethanes. These materials are a family of butadiene homopolymers and butadiene- acrylonitrile copolymers with functionality at the chain ends. Functional groups are carboxyl (COOH), amine (NH or NH2), methacrylate, or epoxy. The acrylonitrile content varies in these polymers from zero to 26% which directly affects the solubility and glass transition temperature (Tg) of the materials.
This product is a carboxyl terminated butadiene -acrylonitrile copolymer containing pendant carboxyl functionality and is used predominately as a reactant with a base thermoset resin to gain product performance improvements. These resultant pre-reacts (adducts) can be incorporated at various levels to suit the needs of your specific formulation.
