Specialty Monomers

Rubber

Synthetic rubber is any of a group of man-made elastomers that approximate one or more of the properties of natural rubber (polyisoprene).

Divinylbenzene has been used in Styrene-Butadiene copolymers (SBR) as adhesives and as processing aids in the extrusion of general-purpose rubbers to:

  • Lower operating costs
  • Permit faster extrusion rates
  • Improve surface processability
  • Lower shrinkage
  • Improve dimensional stability

Rubbers used as impact modifiers such as Methacrylate-Butadiene-Styrene (MBS) that include Divinylbenzene display:

  • Improved heat resistance
  • Improved weather resistance
