Uniroyal Chemical.Uniroyal Chemical Company is a privately held, leading worldwide manufacturer of specialty chemica customers in 120 countries. The company had its origins in the chemical operations Noun 1. chemical operations - warfare using chemical agents to kill or injure or incapacitate the enemy chemical warfare war, warfare - the waging of armed conflict against an enemy; "thousands of people were killed in the war" of its former par Rubber Company, which dates back more than 88 years. Uniroyal Chemical's three divisions are Specialty Rubber Chemicals and Polymers, Specialties, and Specialty Rubber Chemicals and Polymers division is further comprised of three main businesses: Spec Paracril[R] Nitrie Rubber, and Royalene[R] EPDM EPDM Ethylene-Propylene-Diene-Monomer EPDM Enterprise Product Data Management EPDM Ethylene Propylene Dimonomer (industrial/commercial piping/plumbing components) EPDM Engineering Product Data Management . Uniroyal Chemical's Specialty Rubber Chemicals' business is the world's second largest supplier of including antiozonants, antioxidants Antioxidants Substances that reduce the damage of the highly reactive free radicals that are the byproducts of the cells. Mentioned in: Aging, Nutritional Supplements antioxidants, n. , blowing agents, and accelerators to the rubber processing indu started in 1949, today offers a wide variety of specialty oil-resistant nitrile rubbers and blends o such as hose, sponge, footwear and mechanical goods. Royalene EPDM is a terpolymer ter·pol·y·mer n. A polymer that consists of three distinct monomers. [Latin ter, thrice; see trei- in Indo-European roots + polymer.] made with 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. and diene Dienes are hydrocarbons which contain two double bonds. Dienes are intermediate between alkenes and polyenes. Classes Dienes can be divided into three classes:
To help broaden the application of its Royalene technology, Uniroyal Chemical licensed, in 1985, t high-performance elastomers -- silicone-modified EPDM which offers up to 10 times the service life o Technology expansion continued with the 1987 introduction of Trilene[R] liquid polymers -- viscous, weight ethylene-propylene copolymers and terpolymers used in thermoset A polymer-based liquid or powder that becomes solid when heated, placed under pressure, treated with a chemical or via radiation. The curing process creates a chemical bond that, unlike a thermoplastic, prevents the material from being remelted. See thermoplastic. and thermoplastic A polymer material that turns to liquid when heated and becomes solid when cooled. There are more than 40 types of thermoplastics, including acrylic, polypropylene, polycarbonate and polyethylene. application the Royaltuf[R] line of chemically-modified EPDM has been developed to improve the impact resistance such as polycarbonates polycarbonates, group of clear, thermoplastic polymers used mainly as molding compounds (see plastic). Polycarbonates are prepared by the reaction of an aromatic difunctional phenol with either phosgene or an aromatic or aliphatic carbonate. , polyesters and nylons. Uniroyal Chemical's leading edge Royalene technology was licensed internationally beginning in 196 signed a licensing agreement with Sumitomo Chemical in Japan. A joint venture agreement with Herdill EPDM in India, was signed in 1988, followed by a technology agreement with Yukong 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. Co., Ltd joint venture company formed by Sumitomo Chemical and Yukong Limited). Start-up of the Herdillia pla Technological Leadership Currently, over 40 percent of EPDM sales are a result of new and improved products developed to me needs. One example of the company's efforts in this area is the recent development of new polymers f market. Uniroyal Chemical also continues its leadership role in the automotive weatherstrip market with th EPDM sponge polymers offering improved compression set resistance, superior low temperature performa appearance. The company is active in the molded goods area, where a current program involves the use of EPDM t rubber in engine and body mounts for better temperature resistance. Uniroyal Chemical also continues EPDM applications for today's tires and tubes, with its work to improve the appearance of the black of tubes. In 1965, the first Royalene EPDM single-ply roof was installed. Since that time, the company has c new roofing polymers, which are today's product of choice for the roofing market. Royalene EPDM is also used extensively to modify polypropylene resins by both resin manufacturers New Royalene products for the plastics market include a new copolymer copolymer: see polymer. , improved oil-extended product new Royalene/resin masterbatches available in pellet form. For the future, Uniroyal Chemical plans to introduce new Royalene polymers for the wire and cable developing new hose polymers for automotive, industrial and consumer applications. Through modification of current EPDM products and the development of new polymers to meet customer needs, Uniroyal Chemical is targeting substantial worldwide growth and continued success for Royalen EPDM into the next century. To help support this global mission, Uniroyal Chemical's Royalene EPDM business has offices located in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Brazil, Australia, Singapore, Taiwan, Italy and Mexico. |
