Cariflex IR0401 BU Polyisoprene Rubber Latex
Categories: Polymer; Thermoset; Rubber or Thermoset Elastomer (TSE)

Material Notes: Cariflex™ IR0401 BU Latex is a water-based emulsion of an anionically polymerized polyisoprene with a high cis-1,4 content, high molecular weight and a high linearity. The emulsion also contains a non-staining antioxidant (typical level of 0.1% mass on solids) and a surfactant.

Uses: Cariflex™ IR0401 BU Latex is a synthetic rubber emulsion and can be used as an alternative to natural rubber latex in a variety of applications ranging from dipping to extrusion. It offers specific advantages such as light color, consistency and low levels of impurities. Cariflex™ IR0401 BU Latex is made under Good Manufacturing Practices, but additional requirements may apply to food contact, pharmaceutical and medical device applications using this material.

Applications: Adhesives, Sealant and Coatings; Compounding and Personal Hygiene; Medical; and Personal Care
