Elastomers

We offer a full line of elastomers and specialty rubber intermediates for adhesives, sealants, coatings, and rubber compounds, providing both specialty properties for improved material performance and processing for a wide range of applications. We have the products you require for your every adhesive, sealant, coating and rubber compounding need or can create customized materials specifically for your application. Our team of dedicated professionals will partner with you to achieve improved performance for natural and synthetic rubber compounds and elastomer solutions throughout a variety of markets.

Our products are widely used by those who manufacture:

• Heavy-duty lubricants and oils.

• Molded rubber products.

• Automotive tires.

• Off-road tires.

• Pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSA).

• Hot melt adhesives.

• Pressure-sensitive tapes.

• Moisture-resistant coatings.

• Sound-damping systems.

• Caulks and sealants.

ISOLENE Liquid Synthetic Rubber

The ISOLENE products are low molecular weight, liquid polymers of synthetic rubber whose chemical backbone is cis-1,4 polyisoprene. ISOLENE liquid synthetic rubber is a translucent, honey-colored liquid in bulk volume that is virtually clear in thin films. It offers all of the benefits of DPR liquid natural rubber without the dark color and natural impurities from natural rubber.

KALENE Liquid Butyl Rubber

The KALENE products are low molecular weight, liquid polymers of butyl rubber. They vulcanize at either ambient or elevated temperatures with the standard curing times for butyl rubber. These liquid polymers contain no solvents or additives. We offer two grades that differ in molecular weight and viscosity; both are extremely viscous liquids that require heat or solvent to flow freely. KALENE products provide gas impermeability, chemical resistance, moisture resistance, good electrical properties, and excellent sound-damping qualities.

KALAR Cross-Linked Butyl Rubber

The KALAR products are partially cross-linked butyl rubber compounds. They are pelletized f
