| abstract |
The present invention relates to a process for the production of water and solvent-free hydrogenated nitrile rubber polymers, to the hydrogenated nitrile rubbers and the use thereof. The hydrogenetaed nitrile rubbers comprise repeating units derived from at leat one conjugated diene, at least α, β-unsaturated nitrile and optionally one or more copolymerizable monomers and having a viscosity of at maxium 20.000 Pa*s (measured at 100ºC and at a shear rate of 1/s), preferably at maxium 10.000 Pa*s, more preferably at maximum 5.000 Pa*s and most preferably at maximum 1.000 Pa*s. |
