Poly bd®

Poly bd® resins are low molecular weight, hydroxyl-terminated homopolymers of butadiene. These resins are characterized by low volatiles content, low glass transition temperatures, excellent hydrophobicity, and a high level of reactive functionality.

The facile reaction of Poly bd® polyols with curing agents such as di- and polyisocyanates provides an attractive route to the preparation of general-purpose polyurethanes. The unique structure of the Poly bd® polyols provide properties which surpass typical polyether and polyester polyol-based urethane systems, as well as conventional, general-purpose rubbers. Poly bd® resins are used in various industries including construction, automotive, electronics, and rubber. They are incorporated in castable elastomers, caulks, sealants, waterproof membranes, foams, adhesives, coatings, binders for composites, potting and encapsulation compounds as well as other rubber-fabricated materials.
