From fuel efficient “green” tires and lightweight automotive interiors, to modified asphalt for better quality and longer lasting roads, to stronger more flexible adhesives and sealants.
With half a century of innovation and customer partnerships in the field of organolithium as catalysts, Livent is a world leader. Our products have enabled softer headphones, more fuel-efficient tires, lightweight, ultra-violet and weather-resistant car interiors, more durable intravenous bags and medical tubing, and more comfortable footwear.
n-Butyllithium (NBL) is a very strong base, exceedingly useful in organic synthesis styrene butadiene rubber (SBR). NBL has found particular utility in deprotonation and metal-halogen exchange reactions. NBL is also a very effective initiator of anionic polymerization of styrene and conjugated dienes. The synthesis of solution SBR and of styrenic thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), in particular, is facilitated by NBL. References: The Chemistry of Organolithium Compounds, ed.
