Description: Ricon® 100 is a low molecular weight, liquid copolymer of butadiene and styrene with moderately high vinyl functionality for high reactivity, exceptional hydrophobicity and excellent processing characteristics. This resin is suitable for use in peroxide and sulfur-cured elastomers, where it acts as a non-extractable plasticizer and process aid. Its polymeric structure gives excellent compatibility in saturated and unsaturated elastomers, especially elastomers with styrenic and aromatic content.
