HYPRO®

Huntsman Brand

HYPRO® Reactive Liquid Polymer is a low molecular weight synthetic rubber with chemical functionality. These reactive additives incorporate rubber properties into epoxies, acrylates, vinyl esters and polyesters. They improve the toughness and low-temperature properties in coatings, adhesives, sealants and composites. HYPRO® reactive liquid polymers are butadiene homo-polymers and butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymers with terminal functionality.

HYPRO® 1300X43LC VTBNX copolymer is an improved, lower-color version of HYPRO® 1300X43 VTBNX. It has a longer shelf life than the standard version. HYPRO® 1300X43LC copolymer is a low-molecular-weight, methacrylate-functional liquid rubber. It is a 100% solids reactive polymer used primarily as an additive in acrylic adhesives, sealants and coatings and vinyl esters. The butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymer backbone provides improved adhesion, toughness, flexibility, low-temperature properties, and impact resistance. As a component in free-radical-cured systems, the VTBNX is incorporated via the vinyl-methacrylate functionality. HYPRO® 1300X43LC VTBNX copolymer has a random co-polymer backbone with 78.5% butadiene and 21.5% acrylonitrile and multifunctionality. The butadiene provides rubber properties and extends the flexibility and adhesion to low temperatures. It also contributes excellent resistance to moisture, acids and bases. The acrylonitrile provides compatibility with polar additives and improves adhesion to oily metal and to the fiber reinforcements in polymer composites.The multifunctionality enhances the cross-linking in cured adhesives, sealants and coatings.
