VISIOMER® Specialty Methacrylates for Rubber & Elastomers
VISIOMER® 1,4-BDDMA, VISIOMER® EGDMA and VISIOMER® TMPTMA are co-agents for rubber crosslinking. Crosslinking rubber and elastomers with radiation or peroxides can improve thermal stability and ozone resistance compared to the use of traditional vulcanization agents such as sulfur donors, in addition to being necessary for crosslinking saturated elastomeric polymers. When employing peroxide cures, inclusion of VISIOMER® co-agents makes it possible to reduce the content of costly peroxides while simultaneously increasing crosslinking density and curing speed.
