Nitrile Resin

Nitrile Resin

(Nitrile)

 

This family of resins started to appear in the late 1960s and early 1970s. They are called barrier resins since one of their prime attributes is their resistance to the transmission of gas, aroma or flavor, making them useful in packaging applications. These thermoplastic resins are composed of acrylonitrile [CH2CHCN] along with comonomer such as acrylates, methacrylates, butadiene [CH2CHCHCH2] and styrene [C6H5CHCH2]. Both straight copolymers and copolymers grafted onto elastomeric backbones are available.
