Luc Briquel, Technical Marketing NBR at ARLANXEO explains:

“In PVC modification typically plasticizers based on phthalic

acid esters like DOP are used to make these polymer blends

softer. However, over time these liquid substances tend to mi-

grate to the substrate surface, leading to shrinkage and har-

dening of the articles.” At K 2016, ARLANXEO will focus on its

word-class NBR powder product Baymod NXL 3361 which of-

Luc Briquel: “ARLANXEO is constantly investing in Research &

Development in order to identify and develop new areas of

application for NBR. With a total annual capacity of 130,000

metric tons of high-performance rubber, we are able to ad-

vance product performance to meet the needs of the market

and develop tailored solutions for our customers’ business re-

quirements.”
