The Essential Chemical Industry - online search Buta-1,3-diene Butasiene is manufactured from fractions obtained trom the distilation of ol. Athough by fr its major uses inthe HL CHa ‘manufacture of aii rubbers, some is used to make precursors in the manufacture of polyamides (nylon). aK, Hac Uses of butadiene By far the greatest use of butadiene is in the manufacture of co-polymers produced ftom phenylethene (styrene) and butadiene, SBS \ipolymersipolymers-an-overview himi#SBS_ABS) and propenontrie (acrylonitrile), butadiene and phenylethene (styrene), ABS (ipolymersipolymers-an-overview:himlSBS_ABS). The nex’ biggest use isin the manufacture of poly(butadione), a synthetic rubber, which is principally used as one of the components in the rubber used for car tyres: Git HoLeH CHER} H,0=0: Fne-oron—cnsh ‘toons Other synthetic rubbers made from butadiene inclide neoprene whichis po(2-chlarobuta-2-diane, often known as pelychloraprene. CChloraprene is made from butadiene, by frst reacting t wih chlorine in the gas phase at ca 500 Kto form 2-cichlorobutt-ene and #\4= Aichlrobut2-ene, The former, on reaction wih sodium hydroxide, yields chloraprene: HxC=CH— CH=CH, | 00K He=OH=CH=0h sean & & a segue sem ad {chlorqprene) on poymatn ep nos a a a » yc Tact a o |, scegueniagem nc wanes aac tae, Neoprene, in solutions an excellent adhesive and can also coat aluminium used in food packaging. is widely used in care, as hoses, vibration ‘mounts and shock absorber seas is also used widely in constuction for example in window seals and in large constructions such as bridges. Another eynthete co-polymer(polymersipalymere-an-overview:himi#SBS_ABS) made from butadiene is NBR (Nile Butadiene Rubber, te other monomer being propenonitie (acryonitle) (polymersipolypropenonitile hn). NBR's abilly to withstand a range of temperatures from 220 to 380 K allows ibe used in several important aeronautical applicatons, for example to make fuel and othanding hoses and seas, where ordinary rubbers cannot be used, Its also used to make protective gloves for use in te nuclear ndusby.
