Valikat^® Nd is a neodymium-based Ziegler Natta catalyst precursor for the production of butadiene rubbers with high-cis content. It exhibits excellent crack and abrasion resistance in addition to low heat build-up. It is suitable for use in a variety of applications including butadiene rubber polymerization, high-cas content polybutadiene rubber, and 'Green' tyres, as it reduces rolling resistance and fuel consumption. Valikat^® Nd offers a high degree of customization, with solids up to 50% and multiple solvents available.
