- High chemical resistance

- High water resistance

- High electrical insulation properties

- High cold resistance

- Good solubility in aliphatic, aromatics and ethers

- Good compatibility with hydrocarbon resins, rosin resins and zinc resonates

LITHENE™ ULTRA N4-5000-10MA is a viscous, low molecular weight liquid polybutadiene, adducted with 10 parts maleic anhydride. It is characterized by very low odor and volatiles, making it suitable for specialized applications such as soft, isocyanate-free electrical encapsulants and rubber-to-metal bonding.

LITHENE™ ULTRA N4-9000 is a viscous, narrow molecular weight liquid polybutadiene with a low content of 1,2 vinyl microstructure. It is characterized by extremely low odor and volatiles and is primarily used as a polyurethane additive to enhance abrasion resistance. Typical applications include automotive sound damping sealants and adhesives, as well as dry sand binders.

Ricobond 1731 is a viscous, brown liquid polymer composed of low molecular weight polybutadiene functionalized with maleic anhydride. It serves as an effective adhesion promoter and reactive compatibilizer, enhancing bonding in rubber compounds, adhesives, sealants, coatings, and encapsulants. Its maleic anhydride groups enable strong reactions with epoxy, amine, and hydroxyl groups, providing moisture resistance and compatibility with both polar and non-polar materials.
