SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING, PREPARING, OR MANUFACTURING NATURAL RUBBER-BASED ABS COMPOSITIONS, POWDERS, SUBSTANCE, AND/OR ADDITIVES

摘要

A process for producing natural rubber-based acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) powder. The process comprises introducing a portion of natural rubber, mixing divinylbenzene (DVB) with the portion of natural rubber to produce vulcanized natural rubber, mixing the vulcanized natural rubber with a monomer solution to produce grafted natural rubber, mixing a plurality of grafted polybutadiene rubbers with the grafted natural rubber to produce a latex masterbatch and mixing a coagulant to a portion of the latex masterbatch to produce natural rubber-based ABS powder. By mixing the DVB with the portion of natural rubber, an intermediate step which is required in conventional methods before the polymerization process, can be eliminated. A natural rubber-based acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) powder produced by the process is also disclosed.
