Our Legacy CVC Thermoset Specialties’ RLP Products are a unique, proprietary technology originally developed by BFGoodrich, which enhance performance in a wide array of technically challenging end-uses around the world. The product family had been sold for many decades under the Hycar® tradename by predecessor corporations – BFGoodrich, Noveon and Lubrizol. Following the formation of Emerald Performance Materials in 2006, the products were rebranded as Hypro™ Reactive Liquid Polymers.

Prior to its acquisition by Emerald Performance Materials in 2008, CVC Specialty Chemicals had been creating and manufacturing specialty epoxy resins since 1982. Over the years, the company expanded its product offerings to coatings and adhesive formulators with the acquisition of the specialty epoxy resin line of CL Industries (Georgetown, IL) and substituted urea accelerators from Omicron Chemical. Manufacturing and R&D capabilities were enhanced by the 1995 purchase and subsequent expansions of the Akzo Chemical plant in Maple Shade, NJ.

Together – Unique Chemistry Delivering Performance

Thermoset materials as epoxies represent a versatile chemistry useful in developing high performance maintenance/marine coatings, adhesives, encapsulants, composites, etc. CVC Thermoset Specialties provides suitable products to the epoxy technologist enabling the formulation of such materials. EPALLOY™ specialty epoxy technologies deliver improved performance over standard resins and include: Epoxidized Phenol Novolacs, Resorcinol Modified Novolacs, Bis A Modified and Cycloaliphatic Epoxy Resins.

HyPox™ elastomer modified epoxy and Hypro™ reactive liquid polymers are effectively used to enhance toughness and/or flexibility of epoxy systems. Hypro reactive liquid polymers are butadiene homopolymers and butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymers having carboxyl (CT), amine (AT) and methacrylate (VT) functionalities to accommodate several chemistries. HyPox resins are modified with Hypro reactive liquid polymers, polyurethanes and dimer acid to achieve various degrees of viscosity, adhesion, flexibility and toughness in formulated epoxy systems.

In addition to the reactive groups in both terminal positions of the polymer chain, select grades also have pendent reactivity as well. The microstructure and formation of rubbery domains in the thermoset resin matrix is key to delivering the significantly enhanced toughening and flexibility required in many demanding end-uses.

Reactive diluents are monomers used in epoxy formulations for viscosity reduction and handling/processing purposes. ERISYS™ monomers and modifiers are used in thermoset f ormulations to reduce viscosity and improve handling, processing, and application properties of formulations. They also enhance features, such as flexibility and toughness, and maintain chemical resistance and UV stability. ERISYS modifiers and monomers are offered in a broad range of products from mono-epoxy functional to multi-epoxy functional materials. Chemistries include Aromatic & Aliphatic Glycidyl Ethers, Glycidyl Amines and Glycidyl Esters.

Accelerating cure speed and/or reducing cure temperature are important to optimize productivity, energy use, and ultimate mechanical properties. We offer OMICURE™ Dicyandiamide and boron-based catalysts for latent, one- component heat cured epoxy systems. Substituted urea catalysts help to accelerate the cure speed and reduce cure temperatures of Dicyandiamide cured formulations and help to optimize productivity, energy use, and ultimate physical properties.

Hypro™ Reactive Liquid Polymers

Hypro™ Reactive Liquid Polymers (RLP) feature carboxyl, amine and methacrylate vinyl reactive functional groups. The letter designations below are the key to the RLP product nomenclature. Hypro polymers are 3,000-4,000 molecular weight liquids that vary in acrylonitrile and butadiene content. Acrylonitrile will increase resin compatibility, viscosity and raise Tg. Reactive liquid polymers are used as co-reactants in thermoset systems. At low levels they function as tougheners, improving impact resistance and peel strength while maintaining mechanical and thermal properties. At higher levels they provide high elastomeric properties to thermoset materials.

GlossaryAcid Number – Acid number describes the number of equivalents per liter of KOH (potassium hydroxide) required to neutralize the acid contained in a given sample. Thus it is an indication of the quantity of acid present in a given material. The higher the acid number, the greater the amount of acid in the product. With respect to its use in this brochure, acid number is used to describe the properties of HyPox products made from Carboxylic Acid containing raw materials. The acid number is used as a gauge to determine the completion of reactions where epoxy containing materials are adducted, or added to carboxylic acid functional resins. In general, an acid number of 0.10 or less is used to determine the practical end point of these reaction processes.

APHA Color – APHA Color is a color scale used for clear, light yellow colored liquids such as ground water, light oils and chemicals. This test method uses specific dilutions of a platinum-cobalt stock solution to give numeric values from 0 (the lightest) to 500 (the darkest) to a given sample. Samples are compared against the standard to determine which standard most closely matches the sample. Because of the standards used, this scale is sometimes referred to as Platinum-Cobalt color. With CVC products it is used to define the color of our lighter, more colorless products. An APHA color of 150 roughly corresponds to a Gardner Color of 1 (See Gardner Color below.)

Average Epoxy Functionality – Epoxy Functionality refers to the number of reactive epoxy groups present in a particular epoxy resin. With respect to Epoxy Phenol Novolacs, we see molecules with a range of functionalities. In resins such as the 8000 series there are molecules that are 2, 3, 4, 5, and etc., functional. A product like Epalloy 8220 will contain almost all 2 functional material with very little product of higher functionality. As we progress up the series, there are greater amounts of multifunctional materials present and lesser amounts of difunctional materials. Average Epoxy Functionality is the average functionality by weight % composition of epoxy molecules with different functionalities in a listed product.

EEW – EEW stands for Epoxy Equivalent Weight and is measured in grams/equivalent. This method utilizes a titration with perchloric acid and tetraethylammonium bromide, to produce Hydrogen Bromide, which reacts quantitatively with epoxy groups to determine the amount of epoxy groups present in solution. The result is reported in grams of epoxy compound containing one equivalent of epoxy groups. It is a basic property of epoxy resin compounds and is used by formulators to determine proper combining ratios to use with epoxy curing agents. Flash Point – Flash point is used to measure the flammability of an organic substance (usually a liquid). Most substances are tested via a “closed cup” determination whereas a sample is heated at a specified rate and vapors are allowed to build up in a closed headspace. The closed headspace is exposed to a flame. The temperature where the flame is able to ignite the vapor is the Flash Point. This property is particularly important in determining transportation classifications of substances.

Gardner Color – Gardner Color is a color scale used for liquid materials that range from water white through yellow, to deep amber. The scale ranges from 1 to 18. The lower end of the scale (1 - 8) uses standard potassium chloroplatinate solutions to provide various shades of yellow. The upper end (9 - 18) uses solutions of ferric chloride and cobalt chloride. Samples are compared to the standards to determine the correct color designation.

HCC – HCC refers to the Hydrolyzable Chloride Content of an epoxy functional material. It is usually referred to as a weight % of the compound in question, or in parts per million (ppm). Hydrolyzable chloride refers to the chlorine left in a compound from non- dehydrohalogenated moieties (or unclosed rings) and is liable to liberation via simple hydrolysis reaction. With respect to the compounds shown in this brochure, most have relatively low HCC contents on the order of 0.10%. HCC should not be confused with bound chloride (which is not subject to liberation via simple hydrolysis) or ionic chloride (from sodium chloride or other salts present as a by product of reaction). Another measure of chlorides of particular importance to the electronics industry is “total chloride” which is a measure of all types of chloride present in the product (hydrolyzable + bound + ionic).

NV – NV refers to the non-volatile component of a resin or resin solution, is usually expressed as a percentage (%), and is usually used as a reportable component of solvent cut resins or diluents such as 8330MAK80 for example. However, most epoxidation processes are performed in solvent which is removed via distillation at the completion of reaction. Therefore, %NV is sometimes reported to certain customers utilizing resins or diluents for outgas sensitive applications, and would be a relatively small number, such as 0.10%.

Particle Size – Particle size refers to the actual size of solid particulates, such as dicyandiamide or substituted urea, that are used in the formulation of epoxy compounds. Particle size is an important property of powdered reactive materials because as the particles in a given weight of material are made smaller, the effective surface area of that weight of material increases exponentially, providing much greater contact area with the liquid components of the formulation. Particle Size is usually reported in units of microns. One Micron is 10 -6 meters or approximately 0.04 mils. The unit for microns is μ. Particle size can be quantified by use of standard sieves which are precisely manufactured screens of various sizes made for this purpose. For the purpose of powdered materials CVC sells such as the urea accelerators, particle size is often quantified based on the amount of material that passes through a 325 mesh screen. A 325 mesh screen has openings that are about 44 microns wide. Standard grade materials require 80% by weight of a sample to pass through the screen while M-Grade or micronized material requires 95% of the sample to pass through the screen meaning 95% of the particles are less than 44 microns in dimension.

Particle Size Distribution – Particle Size Distribution defines the range and magnitude of all the different sized particles in a given sample. For properly ground and graded materials the distribution curve is usually Gaussian or “Bell Shaped”. A typical PSD (Particle Size Distribution) will give the average particle size, standard deviation, and other useful statistical data such as the percentage of particles less than a given value; for example 90% of the particles are less than 6.9μ, or 50% are less than 3.5μ; such values are often referred to as the d90 or d50 respectively.

Viscosity – Viscosity is a property of fluids that is described as the resistance to flow. There are a variety of ways to measure and report viscosity. Most of the values in this brochure were taken by measurement with an instrument known as a Brookfield Viscometer which measures viscosity in Centipoise (cps) or Poise (P). (1 Poise = 100 centipoise.) Water, by definition, has a viscosity of 1 cps. For illustration purposes #10 motor oil will measure about 400 cps, Castor Oil will measure 1,000 cps; Karo Syrup - 3,500 cps.
