- Product Features & Benefits
KALAR® 5277 contains no filler and its tenacity is due to the degree of cross-linking; not reinforcing fillers. This feature permits the compounder the widest formulating latitude. 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

- 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® 5277 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.
