- Product Applications
HYPRO® reactive liquid polymers (RLPs) set the industry standard for rubber-toughening epoxy, acrylic, vinyl ester and unsaturated polyester in neat resins, adhesives, coatings, and composites.
- Sealants and Adhesives
- Composites
- End uses include Automotive, Electrical/ Electronics. Industrial and Construction Applications
- HYPRO® 2000X168 VTB polymer is designed for free-radical-cured systems. It reacts into the cured polymer matrix via the vinyl functionality of the methacrylate moieties.
- The polybutadiene backbone provides toughness, flexibility, low-temperature properties, and impact resistance to the cured formulation.
- Product also contributes excellent resistance to moisture, brine, acids, and bases.
