Kettlitz Chemie Mediaplast TR

Mediaplast TR is a light, non-staining, highly aromatic synthetic plasticizer based on dibenzyltoluen.Due to these attributes it is recommended for the use in polar elastomers like CR, CM/CSM, NBR, HNBR etc. Mediaplast TR is especially suitable for the production of V-belts and special hoses (hy-draulic machinery, cars etc.) and other highly strained products.

Functions: Plasticizer

Compatible Polymers & Resins: Chloroprene Rubber (CR), Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR)

End Uses: Belts & Belt Repair, Hoses

Features & Benefits

Benefits

Due to the occurring viscosity decrease in Thiokol polymers, large filler quantities can be mixed in and e. g. polysulfide sealants can be made very smooth and easy to handle, which is very advantageous when using them at low outside temperatures.

Applications & Uses

Plastics & Elastomers End Uses
Uses

Besides, Mediaplast TR is also suitable for the use in polysulfide polymers of the Thiokol type, as the compatibility is extraordinarily good and this plasticizer also leads to an excellent cold flexibility in poly-sulfide polymers (setting point approx. -30 °C).
