SRI Consulting Study Reveals New Generation EPDM Technologies.MENLO PARK Menlo Park. 1 Residential city (1990 pop. 28,040), San Mateo co., W Calif.; inc. 1874. Electronic equipment and aerospace products are manufactured in the city. Menlo College and a Stanford Univ. research institute are there. 2 Uninc. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 16, 1998--SRI Consulting today revealed results of a study of the use of emerging technology versus the use of conventional technology for production of ethylene propylene propylene /pro·pyl·ene/ (pro´pi-len) a gaseous hydrocarbon, CH3CHdbondCH2. propylene glycol a colorless viscous liquid used as a humectant and solvent in pharmaceutical preparations. diene Dienes are hydrocarbons which contain two double bonds. Dienes are intermediate between alkenes and polyenes. Classes Dienes can be divided into three classes:
EPDM Enterprise Product Data Management EPDM Ethylene Propylene Dimonomer (industrial/commercial piping/plumbing components) EPDM Engineering Product Data Management ). The study determined that economically, the EPDM ethylidene norbornene (ENB)talyst systems based on transition metals, suchtention for EPDM production. Du Pont/Dow Elastome has recently been commercialized. In the study, SRI Consulting evaluated and compared these processestem for polymerization polymerization Any process in which monomers combine chemically to produce a polymer. The monomer molecules—which in the polymer usually number from at least 100 to many thousands—may or may not all be the same. . They are summarized as er a high polymerization temperature,ntional process with steam stripping to recover the polymer. -- Gas-phase process for EPDM containing ENB by prepolymerized Z-N catalyst -- he commercial process used by Union C higher than Z-N-based EPDM products. Therefore, the metallocene-based EPDM(ENB) is only suitable for special uses for now. The gas-phase EPDM process, on the other hand,pared to the solution and suspension processes. lastomer (EP elastomer elastomer (ĭlăs`təmər), substance having to some extent the elastic properties of natural rubber. The term is sometimes used technically to distinguish synthetic rubbers and rubberlike plastics from natural rubber. ) industry, it is difficuproduction. The worldwide production capacity for EP elastomers as of July 1998 was estimated at about 1.14 million metric tons (2.5 billion lbs). In 1997, the world con (1.59 billion lbs).
