Versatile modifiers improve performance of polymers in rubber ExxonMobil Chemical introduces Elevast polymer modifiers to improve the performance of polymers and support EPDM rubber innovation.
Elevast* polymer modifiers for the rubber industry were introduced recently by ExxonMobil Chemical. These new specialty hydrocarbon fluids may enable formulators to create innovative solutions for EPDM and polyolefin elastomer technical applications that require improved mechanical properties across a wide range of service temperatures. Available globally, Elevast polymer modifiers are engineered to efficiently upgrade key elastomer performance attributes and processing. They are also synergistic with many ingredients commonly used in elastomer compounds. Products manufactured with Elevast may benefit from enhanced performance and extended product life, thereby improving opportunities to differentiate products and lengthen operating periods. Elevast polymer modifiers should help formulators reduce costs by optimizing accelerator, coagent and curing agent treat levels. Useful in a range of EPDM applications
In laboratory testing, Elevast polymer modifiers improve polymers performance in applications ranging from wire and cable to automotive and industrial belts, weatherstrip, hoses and mechanical goods such as seals, gaskets and wiper blades. “Elevast is a novel plasticizer for use by polyolefin elastomer formulators seeking to solve various technical problems. These versatile modifiers may elevate product performance across a wide range of operating conditions,” says David Dunaway, Elevast marketing manager. Potential performance benefits of Elevast include exceptionally low compression and tension set, enhanced rubber toughness and durability, and improved retention of mechanical properties at extreme temperatures, extending the useful life of fabricated parts. “In addition to introducing exciting new opportunities to elevate product performance, Elevast polymer modifiers offer processing benefits that alone may justify their use,” adds Dunaway. Demonstrated processing benefits include improved flow characteristics, improved dispersion, and the ability to process high Mooney-viscosity materials and highly filled compounds. Additionally, using Elevast in a formulation may eliminate several technical challenges such as bloom, bleeding, fogging and iridescence. Learn more at IRC2007 and Rubber Expo ExxonMobil Chemical will present a technical paper describing Elevast polymer modifiers on October 16, 2007 at the 172nd Technical Meeting, IRC2007 in Cleveland, Ohio. Additional information will be available at the accompanying Rubber Expo, October 16-18, in booth no. 428. Elevast polymer modifiers are available in a wide range of grades. For
