3 Product classification
Isoprene rubber is classified into isoprene rubber for general products and isoprene rubber for environmental protection products according to different application fields.
Isoprene rubber for general products is divided into four grades according to Mooney viscosity, namely IR60, IR70, IR80 and IR90, whose corresponding central values are 60, 70, 80 and 90 respectively.
Isoprene rubber for environmental protection products is divided into four grades according to Mooney viscosity, namely IR60F, IR70F, IR80F and IR90F, whose corresponding central values are 60, 70, 80 and 90 respectively.
