AGON® HCis X 41 HP BCA is a solution high cis polybutadiene produced with an organometallic neodymium catalyst. A non-staining TNPP free antioxidant is added during the production process.

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.

Key Features
AGON HCis® X 41 HP BCA is an elastomer designed for vulcanized compounds requiring excellent mechanical performances together with low hysteresis. It is recommended in high performance and fuel efficient tyre compounds. Its extremely low glass transition temperature provides enhanced low temperature performances compared to other general purpose rubbers.

Main Applications
Tyre tread and sidewall.
