Europrene® 1739 is an emulsion styrene-butadiene rubber obtained by cold polymerization using a mixture of rosin acid and fatty acid soaps as emulsifiers. It is a high bound styrene copolymer extended with TDAE oil. A non-staining antioxidant is added during the production process. Key Features: E-SBR is a general purpose rubber characterized by good processability, mechanical properties and abrasion resistance. It has limited resistance to oil and weather but properly compounded, it is suitable for use in outdoor applications. Europrene® 1739 is the TDAE oil extended alternative to Europrene®/Intol® 1721. Due to the plasticizing influence of the safe oil, Europrene® 1739 shows a better processing behavior, an improved abrasion resistance and a slight decrease in wet grip compared to Europrene®/Intol® 1721. Main Applications: Tire tread. Information provided by Polimeri Europa. Versalis is the Eni subsidiary containing the plastics and rubber businesses. |
