Baton Rouge, Louisiana -- Lion Copolymer, LLC, has announced the global introduction of Sabor acrylonitrile-styrene-butadiene terpolymer (NSBR) As the first NSBR material, said Lion, Sabor enables replacement of NBR-type products, NBR/SBR blends, and NBR in NBR/PVC compounds while offering several unique improvements in performance.
Lion Copolymer has commercialised the first three products in its new family of clear, non-staining NSBR terpolymers, produced by the cold emulsion process - Sabor DT 30-48, a 30 acrylonitrile (ACN) and 48 Mooney; Sabor DT 33-35; and Sabor DT 33-45. The products are now readily available through Lion's global route to market network.
Lion Copolymer said Sabor can replace NBR grades with similar acrylonitrile (ACN) levels, providing greater tensile strength, equivalent or better compression set, and chemical, oil and fluids resistance. In addition, the NSBR terpolymers offer ease of processing and excellent extrusion characteristics.
