 Krynac®
Oil resistant, multi-purpose polymer for technical rubber
products
Exceptional resistance to swelling in oils, fuels and
­greases
Excellent low temperature flexibility and heat r­ esistance
Good processing safety
Very good extrusion performance and extreme ­resis­tance
to abrasion and wear
Krynac is used in various applications for the automotive,
®
industrial equipment, machinery, shoe soles and flooring
industries. Its extreme resistance to these liquids makes
it suitable for a wide range of applications. ­ Moreover,
­specially produced Krynac grades feature slow-curing,
®
pre-crosslinked, plasticizer extended and carboxylated
types leading respectively to good processing safety, very
good extrusion performance and excellent resistance to
abrasion and wear.
Applications
Krynac® is used in various applications for the a ­ utomotive
and industrial equipment, machinery, shoe soles and
­flooring. Among many areas of applications it is preferably
used for hoses, seals and membranes as well as for roll
covers, coated fabrics, sheets, thermal insulation tubes and
footwear.

Baymod® N
Powdered nitrile butadiene rubber serving as non ­extrac­table
and ‘ready to use’ modifier
Excellent chemical, oil and hydrolysis resistance
Permanently flexible, elastic and impact resistant
Good low-temperature flexibility and low fatigue
Reduce extraction rate of liquid plasticizers
Improved coefficient of friction in brake applications
Baymod® N serves as a modifier in powder form and
­improves, in the final product, the resistance to oils, fuels
and greases. Its free flowability ensures automatic metering
and processing. It is highly compatible with other polar base
polymers such as PVC or Phenolic Resins. Thermoplastics
modified with Baymod® N remain permanently flexible and
elastic while also being impact-resistant. Furthermore, it
­enables a very low extraction rate of plasticizers.
Applications
Pre-crosslinked Baymod® N grades provide excellent
dimensional stability in extruded soft PVC profiles. In
­
­friction materials, they serve as an excellent binder for both
fillers and fibers and improves the coefficient of ­friction.
Linear Baymod® N grades are soluble in wet p ­rocesses
and t­here­ fore used in the rubber industry for gaskets
­manufactured in a solution process. Additionally, they are
used for wet processes in the friction industry as a binder
that ­improves the impact resistance. In the plastic industry
they are preferably ­implemented for soft PVC in injection
­molding processes.
Bamod® N fact sheet
Free flowability ensures automatic processing
Highly compatible with different polar
base ­polymers (PVC, Phenolic Resin)
Pre-crosslinked grades provide d ­ imensional
­stability and serve as an excellent binder
Linear grades are soluble and hence used in wet
and solution processes or as a blend component
in injection molding
