- Product Features & Benefits
KALAR® 5246 has controlled cross-linking which makes it an ideal material for soft sealants with a greater degree of creep and slump resistance. Other key performance benefits include:
- Elimination of butyl rubber pre-mastication
- Pellets may be metered to facilitate mixing
- Requires no vulcanization
- Readily acceptable in a wide range of solvents
- Extends with high levels of fillers and plasticizers
- Compatible with a wide choice of compounding ingredients
- Compounding economy

Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
- 1 Year
- Handling
- The suggested handling procedure varies with the desired product.
- Coatings and adhesives are produced by adding the pellets to a solvent, mixing with a high-speed homogenizer-dispenser, and adding the rest of the ingredients.
- Caulks and sealants may be mixed in Sigma blade mixers.
- Stiff compounds may be mixed in a Banbury or on a two-roll rubber mill.
- Storage Conditions
- KALAR® 5246 product may agglomerate or hard-pack within the boxes, however this will have no effect on chemical or physical properties and the product may be used.
- Store in a cool, dry environment.
