Ricon® 152 is a low molecular weight, liquid polybutadiene resin with moderately high vinyl functionality, offering high reactivity, exceptional hydrophobicity, and excellent processing characteristics. It is compatible with saturated and unsaturated elastomers, particularly olefinic-based and thermoplastic elastomers. As a Type II coagent, it provides excellent crosslink densities without affecting the cure rate, making it suitable for extrusions and moldings.
