Intene® C30 AF BCA is a solution polymerized low cis polybutadiene produced using an alkyl lithium catalyst. A TNPP free, food contact approved, non-staining antioxidant is added during the production process.

Key Features
Its unique molecular structure gives fast dissolving time and fine dispersion of the rubber in the plastic matrix.

Main Applications
Impact improver of ABS and Polystyrene giving a gloss surface.
It can also be used in conjunction with certain block copolymers to give high gloss.
The high capacity of loading carbon black and good extrudibility makes this grade suitable for abrasion strips construction in tire building

Sustainability
Bio raw materials can be used in production processes together with traditional raw materials. In order to attribute sustainability characteristics to the final product, Versalis applies the Mass Balance approach, an acknowledged methodology that ensures that the sustainability characteristics of the alternative raw material, mixed with traditional naphtha, correspond to those of the final product. BCA products are provided with a sustainability declaration indicating the amount of Bio-Circular Attributed component. They guarantee identical performance, quality and properties, as they do not differ in chemical composition and physical-mechanical performance from standard products.
