    Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR), Synthetic Latex: Application

    Uploaded by

    bob
    The document discusses the production process of nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) which involves an emulsion polymerization system. Monomers such as butadiene and acrylonitrile are added to water along with other ingredients in polymerization vessels. A K-Patents refractometer is installed to monitor the degree of polymerization and conversion rate from monomers to polymer. The polymerization process is varied to produce different types of NBR for various applications such as hoses, seals, and conveyor belts requiring oil, fuel, and chemical resistance.

    NBR is produced in an emulsion polymerization
    system. The water, emulsifier/soap, monomers

    the polymerization vessels. The emulsion process
    yields a polymer latex, which is coagulated using
    various materials (e.g. calcium chloride, aluminum
    sulfate) to form crumb rubber, which is dried and
    compressed into bales. Some specialty products are
    packaged in the crumb form.
