  • Polybutadiene in Impact Polystyrene
    Polybutadiene (or rubber) is added during polymerisation of styrene to increase the flexibility of polystyrene polymers. It is important to closely monitor the amount of polybutadiene added, so that the flexibility of the polystyrene polymer may be regulated. NMR can provide an effective and rapid
  • In-Line Dispersing Grinder Doubles Rate of Dissolution of Rubber in Styrene
    By using an in-line dispersing grinder to promote dissolution of polybutadiene rubber in styrene at the Hanging Rock Plant of Dow Chemical USA, total time needed for dissolution has been cut by better than 50%. Previously, with just a turbine agitator in the dissolution tank having a volume
  • Troubleshooting O-Ring Failures
    Like any device subjected to errors in installation or exposure to high stresses, O-rings too are liable to failure. Different materials of O-rings have different shelf lives. Shelf life for materials like natural rubber, polybutadiene and polyurethane (millable) usually have a shelf life of five
