Carboxylated Butadiene Nitrile Latex (CBNL)

Introduction

 

CBNL is used in several commercial and strategic applications like nitrile latex gloves, carpet backing, rexine coating, adhesives etc.

 

Salient Technical Features

 

•  Nitrile latex products have excellent abrasion resistance, oil resistance and can be formulated to achieve thermal stability. Products of varying nitrile content and solid content can be developed.

 

Scale of development

 

•  Lab scale technology @500 g batch

 

Environmental Considerations

 

•  Water based process used for polymerization

 

Major Raw Materials

 

•  Butadiene, acrylonitrile, acrylic acid available indigenously

 

Major Plant Equipment and Machinery Required

 

•  Pressure reactor with stirring, temperature control and feeding of gaseous monomers is required. Further up scaling needed as per production requirements, heating/cooling provisions
