The DPR products are low molecular weight, liquid polymers of natural rubber. The chemical backbone is cis-1,4 polyisoprene. DPR liquid rubber offers processing flexibility and performance options for a wide range of applications. Liquid natural rubber improves rubber and polymer compounding and final processing. It acts as a plasticizer to reduce cycle time and energy consumption. Since it cures by the same mechanism as natural rubber, it becomes part of the polymer matrix and remains non-fugitive. This extends the life of the finished products.

Typical Applications

DPR liquid rubber provides all the performance properties of natural rubber in a convenient liquid. Liquid rubber performs many functions in a wide range of applications:

• Polymer binder for grinding wheels and friction products
• Reactive rubber processing aid
• Reactive vehicle for rubber additives
• Rheology modifier for lubricants
• Polymer base for molding and tooling systems
• Polymer base for electrical encapsulants
• Polymer base for automotive sealants and sound damping compounds
• Asphalt modifier
