Chain Transfer Agents

製品の概要
Mercaptans are commonly used as reactants in the manufacturing processes of many common rubber and thermoplastic materials. The use of mercaptans allows for fine control of the molecular chain length during polymerization, leading to easy processing conditions and mechanical performance of the resulting polymer.

Material's Performance

Arkema’s chain transfer agents are heavily used by customers in a variety of polymer manufacturing processes in a wide array of industries, such as automotive, adhesives, rheology modifiers, and many many more. These processes include the production of polymers such as the ones based on butadiene and styrene (rubber and latex), the styrenics, the acrylics and derivatives PMMA and ABS), and the PS.

Several factors affect a material’s performance, such as the polymerization recipe, the polymer structure (molecular weight and MFR sensitivity), and the material performance properties, including service temperature, MFR, mechanical properties, product consistency, and thermal stability.
