The Difference Between Nitrile Rubber and NBR LatexThe Difference Between Nitrile Rubber and NBR Latex

 Affected by public health incidents, NBR latex is like a dark horse that has attracted the attention of the international market. Nitrile rubber and NBR latex are very different in use.

 

1. The difference in performance between nitrile rubber and NBR latex

Nitrile rubber is produced by emulsion polymerization of butadiene and acrylonitrile. Nitrile rubber is mainly produced by low-temperature emulsion polymerization. It has excellent oil resistance, high abrasion resistance, good heat resistance, and strong adhesion. . Its disadvantages are poor low temperature resistance, poor ozone resistance, poor insulation performance, and slightly lower elasticity. Nitrile rubber is mainly used to make oil-resistant rubber products.

 

Carboxylic nitrile latex is obtained by introducing methacrylic acid or methacrylate ternary copolymer during polymerization. Since the carboxyl nitrile nitrile latex introduces a more polar carboxyl group into the molecular backbone, it further improves the activity and bonding strength, and improves the compatibility with other polymer materials. Therefore, carboxylated nitrile latex not only maintains the properties of nitrile latex, but also has many new excellent functions: enhanced the interaction between chains, the surface chemical properties of latex particles are well improved, and the mechanical stability of the latex , Thawing stability, adhesion, film-forming properties and post-processing performance have been improved.  And chemical intermediates manufacturers use the characteristics of carboxylic nitrile latex to produce chemical products. The modified carboxyl butyronitrile latex is easy to vulcanize and can be cross-linked with metal oxides such as zinc oxide, lead oxide, etc. without sulfur. It can also be vulcanized with phenolic resin, urea-formaldehyde resin, epoxy resin and polyamine to make the film The mechanical strength is greatly improved, and the stability is better.

 

2. The difference in use between nitrile rubber and NBR latex

From the perspective of the demand structure of nitrile rubber in recent years, the largest proportion is still the hose and tape industries, followed by the foaming (insulation) materials industry, and the sealing materials industry is ranked third. However, due to factors such as shrinking automobile production and sales, the proportion of hoses, tapes and sealing materials has declined significantly, especially for sealing materials. In recent years, real estate capital investment and air-conditioning output have increased, stimulating the demand for foaming (insulation) materials, especially the chemical foaming agents.

 

The nitrile latex has a fast film forming speed, easy to peel off, good processing performance, and better products. Therefore, in recent years, carboxyl nitrile latex has developed rapidly, especially in the industries of thick, thin, undershirt, undershirtless gloves, and sealing materials.

 

Therefore, public health incidents have stimulated the demand for medical gloves. Carboxy nitrile rubber latex is its main raw material. Nitrile rubber cannot replace carboxyl nitrile rubber in this industry. Therefore, the two have certain differences in form and main purpose.

Difference Between Sulfate And Sulfonate In Shampoo

  Sulfates and sulfonates have two things in common. First, they're all anionic surfactants. Second, they are often used for personal care applications. But there are many differences. They have different molecular mechanisms. They have different functions and they have different raw materials.   Sulfates Sulfate is a compound. It has carbon bonds and oxygen and sulfur bonds. They include substances such as sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium lauryl ether sulfate.   At low pH, these substances plus the c-o-s bond hydrolyze to produce alcohol and inorganic sulfate. At a high pH, sulfate is stable in the base and, if ethoxylated to a relatively high level, produces a low-foaming alkali-soluble surfactant. Sulphates can be prepared by reaction of fatty alcohol or fatty alcohol ethoxylates with reagents such as SO3 or chlorosulfonic acid (CSA).   The reason shampoo becomes thick foam in the shower is that it contains sulfate. Most shampoos and household cleansers contain su...

Two Different Types of Anionic Surfactants

  Anionic surfactant is a kind of product with the longest history, the largest output and the most varieties among surfactants. According to the structure of hydrophilic groups, anionic surfactants can be divided into sulfonates and sulfates, which are the main categories of anionic surfactants.    The  anionic surfactants definition  is a must-known concept for many people working in the chemical industry. The various functions of surfactants are mainly manifested in changing the properties of the liquid surface, liquid-liquid interface and liquid-solid interface, of which the surface (interface) of the liquid is the most important.   Sulfate-type anionic surfactants mainly include fatty alcohol sulfate (also known as primary alkyl sulfate) and secondary alkyl sulfate ： 1.  Fatty alcohol sulfate (ester) salt (FAS or AS). The general formula of fatty alcohol sulfate is: ROS0-3M+, R is alkyl, M+ is sodium, potassium, ammonium, ethanolamine and other ca...

The Application of Glycolic Acid in the Cosmetics Industry

  In the salon, the beautician first cleans and rinses the skin area to be treated, and then applies the glycolic acid solution or gel with fingertips or cotton tips or brushes. When treating the face, leave the solution / gel in place for 5-10 minutes, then rinse off with gauze dipped in cold water. Occasionally, use the solution / gel a second time and leave it in place for 5-10 minutes before rinsing. Hand, foot and other body parts are treated similarly.   According to industry sources, products applied to body parts other than the face are usually washed off after about 15 minutes. The end of the treatment is to apply moisturizing cream, which usually contains a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15. A typical course of treatment includes 6-10 peels over 4-6 weeks.   When using at home, lotions, gels, lotions and creams are applied once or twice daily with fingertips or small cotton balls. Scrubs, that is, lotions or creams containing polished particles, rub the skin wit...
