POLYMERS
Hydrogenated polymers are used in many applications as the hydrogenation of the monomer units significantly modifies the polymer properties. In some cases, the hydrogenation of polymers provides materials that are more thermally and oxidatively stable when compared with their precursor polymers.
In addition, di-block and tri-block polymers, comprised of two or more subunit types can have tailored elastomeric properties by hydrogenating the individual blocks. Applied Catalysts offers catalysts, services, and systems that can be used for polymer hydrogenation to many products.
01
Benefits for Our Clients
Applications of triblock copolymers with different levels of unsaturation may be used as asphalt modifiers, adhesives, sealants, compatibilizers, reinforcing agents, and impact modifiers. Hydrogenated polymers may also be used for modifed nitrile rubbers for tires.
02
Pain Points We Solve
Monolith-based structures and particulate supports with various degrees of meso and macroporosity may improve the yield and selectivity of the hydrogenated polymers.
