HuntsmanNYCHEM® 1800 X 73
  • Polymer Name:Styrene Butadiene Copolymer

NYCHEM® 1800 X 73 offers a wide range of nitrile, carboxylated nitrile, and styrene-butadiene products and blends. These polymers deliver superior oil, grease, solvent, tear, and abrasion resistance. Tailored for various applications, they are designed based on monomer and surfactant ratios, with acrylonitrile content affecting resistance and glass transition temperature. To improve toughness and resistance, vulcanization or cross-linking agents like melamines, epoxies, phenolics, or metal complexes can be used. Products with fatty acid or rosin acid-based surfactants provide excellent water resistance, while synthetic surfactants offer better mechanical stability. Non-carboxylated versions excel in caustic resistance.

HuntsmanNYCHEM® 1570 X 75
  • Features:Excellent Flexibility, Good Chemical Stability, Good Elongation, Good Toughness, Good Wetting Properties, High Bond Strength, High Impact Resistance, High Mechanical Stability, Improved Chemical Resistance, Improves Adhesion, Increased Tear Resistance, Low Glass Transition Temperature, Solvent Resistance

NYCHEM® 1570X75 carboxylated, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene Latex utilizes a synthetic anionic surfactant enabling good chemical and mechanical stability. This provides the best formulating capabilities, machine runnability, and good wetting properties with reduced pH sensitivity for binder and coating applications. A feature of this latex is smaller particle size for improved web penetration and faster drying great for adhesive applications. As a paper saturant, it can be used in abrasion, automotive masking tape, friction, and printing blanket backer paper products. Also, it sports a soft-touch feel and low Tg. The styrenated nitrile provides a good balance of polar and nonpolar solvent resistance. Also, it has good flexibility and impact resistance with improved adhesion to metal substrates. The carboxylated functionality allows the polymer to be crosslinked internally or with the substrate using metal complexes, amino and phenol formaldehyde resins, and epoxies further improving performance. Additional toughness, abrasion, and chemical resistance can be further enhanced though vulcanization using a sulfur donor.
