Description: Ricon® 156 is a very low molecular weight, liquid polybutadiene resin with high vinyl functionality for high reactivity, exceptional hydrophobicity and excellent processing characteristics. This resin is suitable for use in peroxide- and sulfur-cured elastomers as a non-extractable plasticizer and process aid, where low viscosity and good reactivity are desired. Its polymeric structure gives excellent compatibility in saturated and unsaturated elastomers, especially olefinic-based elastomers and thermoplastic resins. The resin is a Type II coagent, giving excellent crosslink densities without affecting the rate of cure. Product Highlights / Performance Properties: - High reactivity
