Properties
Polynorbornene is obtained via ring opening polymerization of Norbornene. The polymer has a molecular weight of round 3000000 g/mol and is roughly 30 times higher than standard grades of NBR. The distribution of cis and trans groups in the polymer prevent crystallization. The polymer is amorphous with glass transition of around 37° C.
The polymer has a high affinity to hydrocarbons and can absorb around 10 times of its own weight of oil. Also 300 phr of various fillers can be added, giving a reasonable rubber compound.
Applications
Damping
Protector – Systems for personal protective equipment, Bumpers, Sock-liners, Mid-sole constructions for sport and work shoes, Protection elements for racing boots, etc.
Anti-vibration
Noise and vibration damping for rail, building and industrial applications, like feet for electronic equipment microphones, load speakers, laptop, hard disc, reading heads for streamers). Feet for washing and drying machines,
Sealing for electronic systems, Ski parts, rackets parts, Automotive parts (bumpers, door sealing, front element sealing).
High Friction
Tires, Transmission belts, Toy tires, Transport rolls for copiers and feeders (shelf life 2,5 times higher then EPDM), Climbing soles, Slip resistant out-soles, Floors, Ski parts, Racket elements.
