  • Do neoprene materials have crystallization effects?
  • Crystallization effects and Tg must both be considered when designing neoprene materials for low-temperature service. Unfortunately, the use of ester plasticizers, so commonly used to lower the Tg of a material, does not usually help prevent crystallization and, in many cases, will actually accelerate the crystallization rate.
  • What temperature does neoprene crystallize?
  • In the work by Murray and Detenber, it was concluded that neoprene crystallization occurs most rapidly at -2°C for vulcanized compounds. It was also pointed out that the maximum rate of crystallization for raw polymer occurs at -50°C.
  • Which neoprene plasticizers have varying crystallization resistance at -20°C?
  • The remaining plasticizers showed varying degrees of crystallization resistance at -20°C in the neoprene WK compound tested. The plasticizers examined were Plasthall® TOTM, Plasthall® DOS, Plasthall® 4141, Plasthall® 7041 and Plasthall® 503.
  • Can neoprene be used as a base polymer?
  • The WK grade of neoprene is not suited for use as a base polymer in neoprene compounds subjected to crystallization testing designed to determine the effects of plasticizers on the crystallization rate. It is designed to have maximum crystallization resistance, thus resulting in an unacceptably long time to obtain experimental results.
  • Does neoprene rubber crystallize?
  • Among synthetic elastomers, the ability to crystallize under suitable conditions of stress and temperature is confined to relatively few materials, one of which is neoprene rubber. Crystallization is the ability of the rubber chains, or portions thereof, to align themselves into a well-ordered crystalline structure.
  • Are ester plasticizers compatible with eco?
  • Ester plasticizers are compatible with ECO where the plasticizer has a similar polarity to that of the polymer. DOP, DIDP, and, TOTM are common choices. Most ester plasticizers cannot withstand the post-cure cycles and temperatures typically sued with FKM.
