Low molecular weight hydrogenated nitrile rubber

The present invention relates to the process for preparing hydrogenated nitrile rubber polymers having lower molecular weights and narrower molecular weight distributions than those known in the art.

The present invention relates to hydrogenated nitrite rubber polymers having lower molecular weights and narrower molecular weight distributions than those known in the art. The present invention is also related to shaped articles containing hydrogenated nitrile rubber polymers having lower molecular weights and narrower molecular weight distributions than those known in the art.

The present invention relates to a substantially gel-free sealant or adhesive compound comprising butyl-type polymer without any conjugated aliphatic diene in its composition having an average molecular weight Mn of more than 20,000 g/mol and containing less than 15 wt. % of solid matter insoluble in boiling cyclohexane under reflux for 60 min., and a self-supporting shaped article comprising said compound optionally layered on or interposed between one or more supporting means as well as a tape comprising said substantially gel-free compound optionally layered on or interposed between one or more supporting means. In still another of its aspects, the present invention relates to an adhesive composition comprising said substantially gel-free compound. In still another of its aspects, the present invention relates to a sealant composition comprising said substantially gel-free compound.

Adhesive compounds of butyl-type rubber

The present invention relates to a continuous process for producing polymers at conversions ranging from 50% to 95% having a Mooney viscosity of at least 25 Mooney-units and a gel content of less than 15 wt. % containing repeating units derived from at least one isoolefin monomer, more than 4.1 mol % of repeating units derived from at least one multiolefin monomer and optionally further copolymerizable monomers in the presence of AlCland a suitable proton source (e.g. water) or cationogen and at least one multiolefin cross-linking agent wherein the process is conducted in the absence of transition metal compounds and organic nitro compounds.

Process for production of high-isoprene butyl rubber

The present invention relates to a process for producing polymers comprising repeating units derived from at least one isoolefin monomer, at least one multiolefin monomer and optionally further copolymerization monomers in the presence of at least one organic nitro compound and AlCl/water wherein the process is conducted in the absence of compounds selected from the group consisting of vanadium compounds, zirconium halogenid, and hafnium hallogenides.

The present invention relates to a shaped article containing at least one peroxide curable compound containing a butyl-like polymer(s) without any conjugated aliphatic diene in its composition, said polymer containing less than 15 wt. % of solid matter insoluble in boiling cyclohexane under reflux for 60 min. The present invention also relates to a sealing material and a medical device containing at least one peroxide-curable compound containing a butyl-like polymer containing less than 15 wt. % of solid matter insoluble in boiling cyclohexane under reflux for 60 min. Further, the present invention relates to a process for producing a butyl-like polymer having no conjugated aliphatic diene in its composition and containing less than 15 wt. % of solid matter insoluble in boiling cyclohexane under reflux for 60 min. In addition, the present invention relates to a process the manufacturing of the inventive compound wherein the elastomeric polymer is mixed with at least one filler and at least one peroxide curing system in a mixing means.
