Baypren® (Adhesive ingredients)
Supplied by ARLANXEO
Baypren® by ARLANXEO is a range of polychloroprene rubber (CR) grades used as base elastomers in solvent-based contact adhesives and as raw materials for highly stressed rubber articles. The portfolio includes fast-crystallizing 300 grades for rapid bond formation and medium-fast crystallizing 200 grades for extended open time, with viscosity options enabling formulators to tailor crystallization rate and bond line flexibility.
Key benefits of Baypren® brand include:
- Delivers high initial bond strength that forms instantly upon joining, eliminating the need for fixation during cure.
- Achieves high final bond strength through progressive crystallization, exceeding adhesion levels possible with natural or nitrile rubber.
- Offers excellent solubility in organic solvents and solvent mixtures, simplifying solvent-based formulation.
- Provides strong resistance to ozone, oxidative stress, weathering, and a broad range of chemicals over long-term exposure.
- Enables formation of soft, flexible bond lines and strong adhesion across a wide range of substrate materials.
