Neodymium Versatate - VALIKAT Nd 8.8 C

Neodymium Versatate - VALIKAT Nd 8.8 C

Neodymium Polymerization Catalyst Precursor for PBR, Diluted in Cyclohexane

VALIKAT Nd 8.8 C is a neodymium versatate grade with 8,8% Nd content, dissolved in cyclohexane. It is used as a precursor for the synthesis of a Ziegler-Natta type catalyst complex to produce polybutadiene rubber (Nd-PBR) with high cis-content. This results in improved wear properties and lower roll resistance.
