EVONIK POLYVEST®

For more than 50 years, Evonik´s Coating & Adhesive Resins Business Line has been offering POLYVEST®, a range of stereospecific, low viscous and unsaponifiable liquid polybutadienes with different chemical compositions.

Based on their characteristic microstructure, all POLYVEST® grades exhibit an excellent reactivity and can be used for a broad variety of applications. The unsaturated polymer backbone of all POLYVEST® grades offers the opportunity for various crosslinking options, like sulfur curing and oxidative drying. In addition, the functional moieties of POLYVEST® HT and POLYVEST® MA provide further options for crosslinking and make polymer modification feasible. Due to its rubberbased nature, POLYVEST® ST is perfectly suited as a reactive plasticizer in tire and mechanical rubber goods applications.

BENEFITS AT A GLANCE

  • Low viscosity
  • Excellent chemical resistance to acids and bases
  • High water resistance
  • Excellent electrical insulation properties
  • Low temperature flexibility
  • Low moisture and oxygen permeability
