Recent work on a 39 ACN N-Nanbrol® masterbatch 80, let down to 60 phr nanofill, illustrates the range of results available with little change in compounding.
Nanbrol® is different, but responds similarly to other filled NBR’s.
Three cases are reported here. Case 1 is low cure state, and the cure state is increased through case 3.
While the 25% modulus is higher, the 50% modulus is more than double the low cure state case. Tensile values were about the same, but as you can see, the elongation ranged from under 150% to almost 400%.
Nanbrol® masterbatch responds like most white-fill masterbatch, but with improvements in physical properties and much better barrier, heat resistance, and processability.
Nano clay creates a tortuous path in pressed rubber vulcanizate that makes it more difficult for gases to enter and escape the finished item. The barrier enhancement is well understood from the literature. Nanbrol® high density nanofill masterbatch can go beyond what academics can achieve in the lab, and that brings prices down.
