China chemical companies create new rubber materials - report
ERJ staff report (DS)
Lanzhou, China -- A report in the China Chemical Industry News tracks new elastomeric polymers being made in China. The report notes that Lianyungang Jintaida Rubber Co., Ltd. announced in June 2010, an independently-developed chlorosulfonated polyethylene rubber (CSM). The material is manufactured using a gas-phase process.
The report says the Jintaida process produces no toxic solvent residue, and the production process does not need to extract the solvent, which greatly reduces the cost of plant construction and production costs. Currently, said the report, the products have been exported to the United States, Korea, Germany and other countries.
The report said Lanzhou Petrochemical Company has been producing liquid nitrile rubber since April 2010
It said that a company called Jixi is making new types of thermally conductive synthetic rubber used in cooling applications.
