Process For Preventing Gel Formation In Lattices Of Hydrogenated, Low Molecular Weight, Functionalized Elastomers

US Patent:
2007001, Jan 11, 2007
Filed:
Jul 8, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/177759
Inventors:
David Tao - Louisville KY, US
Michael Gozdiff - North Canton OH, US
Edmee Files - Floyds Knobs IN, US
International Classification:
C08K 5/00
US Classification:
524236000, 524565000, 524571000
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a process for hydrogenating a latex of a low molecular weight functionalized, unsaturated elastomer to produce a latex of a hydrogenated, low molecular weight, low gel, functionalized elastomer, said process comprising hydrogenating the low molecular weight, functionalized, unsaturated elastomer in the presence of (1) an oxidant selected from the group consisting of oxygen and hydroperoxides, (2) a reducing agent selected from the group consisting of hydrazine and hydrazine hydrates, and (3) a metal ion activator, wherein a hydroxylamine is added to the latex of the low molecular weight, functionalized, unsaturated elastomer or to the latex of the hydrogenated, low molecular weight, functionalized elastomer prior, during, or subsequent to the hydrogenation to produce the latex of the hydrogenated low molecular weight, low gel, functionalized elastomer.

Process For Preventing Gel Formation In Lattices Of Hydrogenated, Low Molecular Weight, Functionalized Elastomers

US Patent:
2008027, Nov 6, 2008
Filed:
Jul 21, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/176885
Inventors:
David D.H. Tao - Louisville KY, US
Michael Gozdiff - North Canton OH, US
Edmee Files - Floyds Knobs IN, US
Assignee:
ZEON CHEMICALS, L.P. - Louisville KY
International Classification:
C08J 3/03
US Classification:
524457
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a process for hydrogenating a latex of a low molecular weight functionalized, unsaturated elastomer to produce a latex of a hydrogenated, low molecular weight, low gel, functionalized elastomer, said process comprising hydrogenating the low molecular weight, functionalized, unsaturated elastomer in the presence of (1) an oxidant selected from the group consisting of oxygen and hydroperoxides, (2) a reducing agent selected from the group consisting of hydrazine and hydrazine hydrates, and (3) a metal ion activator, wherein a hydroxylamine is added to the latex of the low molecular weight, functionalized, unsaturated elastomer or to the latex of the hydrogenated, low molecular weight, functionalized elastomer prior, during, or subsequent to the hydrogenation to produce the latex of the hydrogenated low molecular weight, low gel, functionalized elastomer. This process can be used to make low molecular weight, hydrogenated, nitrile rubber latex which is comprised of water, an emulsifier, and the low molecular weight, hydrogenated, nitrile rubber, wherein the low molecular weight, hydrogenated, nitrile rubber has a molecular weight which is within the range of 500 to 20,000, wherein the low molecular weight, hydrogenated, nitrile rubber has a gel content of less than 10%, and wherein the low molecular weight, hydrogenated, nitrile rubber has a saturation level of at least about 80%.
