ANTI-AGGLOMERATOR FOR SEPARATING SYNTHETIC RUBBER Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC C08C2/06 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to anti-agglomerators which eliminate stickiness of rubber crumbs after the water degassing step when producing synthetic rubber by solution polymerisation during separation thereof from hydrocarbon solvents. The anti-agglomerator is a 20-40% solution in base mineral and synthetic oils without additives of a mixture of calcium salts of alkylbenzene sulphonic acids with the length of the hydrocarbon chain of alkyl substitutes ranging from C₁₂ to C₂₆ and overall base number ranging from 20 to 390 mg KOH/g.

EFFECT: high alkalinity of the aqueous medium at the degassing step, longer time between repairs of rubber drying equipment, low material consumption.
