Hydrogenated elastomers are elastomers that undergo a defined hydrogenation manipulation to achieve physico-chemical characteristics useful for the needs of the industry. The presence of C = C bonds in butadiene makes them resistant to weather and high temperatures. Hydrogenation: what is it for? Hydrogenation is a chemical process useful for the saturation (usually partial) of unsaturated elastomers; Unsaturated elastomers also have double bonds between carbon atoms in the chain, so they restrict less hydrogen ions than a saturated elastomer. Hydrogenation consists of the simplification of the double bonds to simple bonds, to increase the amount of hydrogen ions and to acquire a greater saturation. As the last chemical characteristic increases, the strength of the product also increases. |  | ||
