Petro-Rez PTA-T Aromatic hydrocarbon Akrochem Tackifier >> Hydrocarbon resin >> Aromatic Chloroprene Rubber (CR) Rubber - Elastomer (Chloroprene, Butyl …) Polyolefins (PE, PP…) Petro-Rez PTA is a low melt point, hydrocarbon tackifying resin. It is aromatic in nature and is compatible in a wide variety of elastomer types. Petro-Rez PTA-T has 5% silica added as a parting agent. It is the most commonly used general purpose form. Petro-Rez PTA can be used as a tackifier/softener for nitrile, chloroprene, chlorosulfonated polyethylene, SBR, Butyl and many other rubbers. In nitrile and Neoprene, Petro-Rez PTA provides a non-extractable plasticizing action for solvent resistant articles. Petro-Rez PTA inhibits low temperature crystallization and improves electrical properties in wire and cable applications. For all polymers PTA improves processing, extrusion rates, wetting interaction of filler and rubber, mold flow and reduces nerve. Typical dosages range from 5 to 25 phr depending on the amount of plasticizing action required. Low melt point, aromatic hydrocarbon resin. Used as a tackifier/softener for nitrile, chloroprene, chlorosulfonated polyethylene, SBR, butyl and many other rubbers. Improves processing, extrusion rates, wetting interaction of filler and rubber, mold flow and reduces nerve. Use level: 5-25 phr.
