Sulfenyl chloride adducts of hydrogenated nitrile rubber.

摘要

The present invention provides an adduct of a hydrogenated nitrile rubber and a sulfenyl chloride. The adducts are characterized by having a surprisingly low level of gel, as determined by the amount of adduct which is insoluble in methyl ethyl ketone after 16 hours at 30 DEG C. The adducts may be vulcanized and used to prepare seals, gaskets or mechanical goods.
