Caprolactam
Caprolactam is created by a complex polymerization process using three major
raw materials: sulfur, ammonia and cyclohexane. In an intermediate step, sulfur
is modified to sulfuric acid liquid; ammonia is processed into hydroxylamine and
cyclohexane is altered into cyclohexanone. These three chemicals combine to create
two products, the first being Caprolactam. The second, Ammonium Sulfate, is a
co-product representing three quarters of the output of polymerization and is
one of the key fertilizers used in Thailand.
Caprolactam's main use is as the raw material for the production of Nylon 6 which
consequently forms an integral part in a myriad of other consumer and industrial
products, particularly for the automobile industry.
Nylon
Given its impact, heat and chemical resistance, excellent mold-ability, slipping
properties with high transparency and low oxygen permeability and toughness, Nylon
6 is used in a wide range of applications including textiles, packaging film,
deep-sea fishing nets, automotive parts and tire cords.
Nylon uses in the automobile industry have been increasing very rapidly as components
are being used to produce engine parts. With the massive heat generated during
the operation of vehicle engines, metal parts are subject to a great deal of wear,
and the constant heating and cooling often causes distortion and damage over time.
Nylon is both heat resistant, and a form of plastic that is more adaptable to
these changes. It is also widely used to produce a variety of automotive parts,
such as oil containers, wire harness connectors, fuse boxes, cylinder head covers,
crankcases, timing belts and wheels as well as motorcycle body frames. Nylon is
also used to produce nylon tire cord fabric to increase the strength of automobile
tires.
Polybutadiene Rubber (BR)
UBE Industries,LTD. is one of the major world producers of high-cis polybutadiene rubber with cobalt
catalyst. And UBE has succeeded in developing various grades of polybutadiene
by controlling molecular weight, linearity of molecular chain, and molecular weight
distribution.
Moreover, UBE has developed, by UBE's technology, a special type of rubber namely
UBEPOL VCR®.
UBE has high technologies to adapt to user's needs widely and has a lot of business
performance for many years and high evaluations from many customers in the world.
UBEPOL BR® is the brand name for high-cis polybutadiene rubber.
UBEPOL BR® has attractive characteristics, which are excellent abrasion resistance, high
rebound, low hysteresis loss, low temperature properties, and so on for rubber
applications.
UBEPOL BR® also has outstanding characteristics such as high impact resistance, low temperature
properties, heat resistance, recycling for high impact polystyrene.
UBEPOL VCR® is the brand name for rubber-resin complex. UBEPOL VCR® consists of micro-dispersed Syndiotactic 1,2- Polybutadiene(SPB) resin with
high-cis polybutadiene rubber matrix. UBEPOL VCR® is improved on the processability and a lot of the physical properties of conventional
polybutadiene rubber.
UBEPOL BR® and UBEPOL VCR® will surely satisfy your wide need of applications, such as;
Tire, Footwear, Conveyer belt, Golf Ball, Hose, and Plastic modifier (High impact
polystyrene).
