Norst® PB-402-24

Chemical Family
Hydrocarbons

Norst® PB-402-24 is a highly modified polyisobutylene polymer that exhibits high tack and cold flow over a very wide temperature range (-70°F to 450°F, with variants stable to 650°F and 800°F). It is impermeable to water or oxygen. It has good tensile and bond strength, high film strength, permanent tackiness, excellent aging/weather resistance, low stain, low electrical conductivity. It is odorless, colorless, and highly stable. Chemical resistance is comparable to other polyisobutylene polymers. PB-402-24 can be used as a high performance additive in any non-aqueous system where high tack and elasticity are needed.

Usage
Adhesives
High tack and elasticity in PSA adhesives; water and gas proof barrier in sealing tapes; cold flow properties make it ideal for use in "self-healing" barrier products. Variants functional at very high temperatures, Norst® PB-403-34 up to 650EF ( 343EC), Norst® PB-404-44 up to 800EF (427EC).
Sealants
Waterproof and gas proof barrier; excellent tack and elasticity for sealants and mastics; cold flow over a wide temperature range in "self-healing" products; good internal cohesive strength.

Substrates and Systems-Chemistry Non-Polar
Core structure
Distinctly branched aliphatic which gives excellent chemical, weather and oxidation resistance, stability and low color. Best functioning in butyls, EPM/EPDM, microcrystalline wax, asphalt and, polypropylene, HDPE, LDPE, polyisobutylene, etc.
Diluents and carriers
Aliphatic and napthenic solvents work very well. Suitable for solvent-based composition hot melt adhesive and sealant applications, and can be formulated with other polymers, resins, filters, pigments, oils, thickeners, waxes and stabilizers to obtain a desired balance of properties. Avoid strong oxidizers. NorthStar Elastomers provides broad product modification opportunities through blending of custom polymers to modify tack, elasticity, temperature stability, etc.
Polar polymers
(Such as urethanes, acrylics, polyesters and polyamides) are generally incompatible. Avoid polar solvents.
