keg on a sheet of release paper or other suitable release-

keg to break the partial vacuum, which may exist.
If innocuous fillers are part of the compound, the exposed

surfaces of the KALENE "slug" can be immediately dusted to
prevent further sticking.
If the KALENE is going to be cut in solvent, it can be

incrementally charged to a sigma blade type mixer.
KALENE can be compounded in two ways. The polymer may

be blended directly with the other compounding ingredients
in a sigma blade type mixer. An alternate procedure would
pre-cut the KALENE with solvent, such as a mineral spirits. This
allows ingredient additions to be made in conventional
equipment used by the sealant and paint industries.
Generally, Sigma blade-type mixers are employed for the first

compounding method. With the latter method, an adequate
dispersion of solids is accomplished on a three-roll paint mill
or ball mill as a final processing step.
KALAR
The pelletized KALAR is supplied in boxes.
Coatings may be produced by adding the KALAR pellets

directly to solvent, using a high-speed homogenizer-disperser.
Other ingredients predispersed in part of the solvent/polymer
blend are added as a final step.
Caulks and sealants may be made in Sigma blade mixers by

first charging the KALAR to the pre heated mixer. The
pelletized KALAR should be permitted to mass before any

MIXING PROCEDURE
All ingredients except the curatives and solvent are

mixed in a Banbury. The batch is dumped and
allowed to cool. The curatives are then introduced to
the batch on a cool two roll mill. The batch is finally
solvated in a churn to 30-40% solids using a 1:1 blend
of hexane/toluene. A simplified alternate mixing
procedure would utilize an internal mixer of the
kneader-extruder type. The batch should be held as
"tight" as possible by minimizing solvent additions to
ensure a good dispersion of the dry ingredients. The
final step would be the addition of the remaining
solvent. Solvent adjustments should be made at this
time to bring the batch to the proper solids level.

Peroxides
Varox DCP-40C
Lupersol 101
t-Butyl Perbenzoate
Preparation of compounds evaluated in the laboratory

was accomplished by simply hand-blending ISOLENE
with the particular monomer or monomer combination.
The chosen liquid peroxides were added to this blend
along with a few drops of antifoam agent. While most
compounds could be hand-blended, the more viscous
polymer combinations and the systems using the solid
Varox DCP-40C were mixed mechanically to insure
uniformity. All compounds were de-aerated prior to the
curing of test specimens.
Test specimens were prepared from 70 mil sheets made

from casting and curing the liquid system between glass
plates. An equally successful method of specimen
preparation utilized the "press-cure" route.
Although a cycle of 10 minutes at 300°F resulted in

adequate cures where heat transfer was efficient, the
majority of specimens were cured for 1 hour at 300°F.
There were no significant differences noted in the

properties of samples prepared using either of the two
techniques.
In the case of formulations that included polymers, the

above pattern was slightly modified in that a nominal
amount of monomer was used as a reactive co-diluent
to facilitate blending of the ISOLENE and the other
polymers.
The following data are not directed toward any

particular application; nonetheless this brief study
establishes a versatile alternate formulating approach to
compounds based on the liquid polyisoprenes.
