Synthetic Rubber
DESCRIPTION: SKI-3S cis-isoprene synthetic rubber is cis-1,4-polyisoprene obtained by polymerization of isoprene in solution using stereospecific catalyst based on titanium. The rubber is stabilized by mixture of two non-staining antioxidants.
Content of cis-1,4-units, min: 96 %.
CAS: #9003-31-0
REACH: registered
APPLICATION: for manufacture of auto tyres for lining of side-frames as well as coloured bicycle and motorcycle tyres, and also in manufacture of colored rubber goods, non-coloured industrial rubber goods used in manufacturing industry (rubber hoses, tubes, shoe soles). Rubber should not contain any foreign impurities and must meet the following requirements
Appearance: briquettes (bales)
Weight: 30.0+/-1.0 kg
Colour: from white to light-milky
Specific gravity: 0.91-0.92 g/cm3
