HYPRO® 1300X31 CTBN

HYPRO® 1300X31 CTBN is a 100% solids liquid rubber used to enhance the toughness, flexibility, adhesion, and impact resistance of thermoset resin systems, including epoxies, vinyl esters, unsaturated polyesters, acrylics, and urethanes. This carboxyl-terminated butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymer contains functionality at the chain ends and can be used as a reactant with base thermoset resins to improve product performance. The acrylonitrile content, ranging from zero to 26%, influences the solubility and glass transition temperature (Tg), allowing for customization in formulations.

Safety & Health

Handling Precautions
  • HYPRO® 1300X31 CTBN is not a primary skin irritant or sensitizer. However, as with any epoxy material, irritation can result from repeated or prolonged contact. The symptoms of this irritation may appear as a mild reddening or a more pronounced rash. It is, therefore, important to avoid skin contact where possible. Butyl rubber gloves, full eye protection and protective clothing are recommended.
  • Skin contact: Wash well with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and wash thoroughly before reusing. It is recommended that resin not be removed from skin with solvents since solvents increase contact and encourage penetration. Moreover, solvents of themselves dry and crack the skin.
  • Eye contact: Flush immediately with large quantities of water. Contact a physician.

Storage & Handling

Storage Condition

HYPRO® 1300X31 CTBN material should be stored in a dry place, in the sealed original containers, at temperatures between 2°C and 40°C (35.6°F and 104°F). Under these storage conditions, the product has a shelf life of 12 months (from date of manufacture). The products should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
