This document introduces the effective method for analyzing butyl rubber with Agilent PLgel 10 µm MIXED-B columns.
This document provides a technical overview of using Agilent PLgel 10 pm MIXED-B columns for the effective analysis of butyl rubber with hexane as the solvent. Although hexane has a low solubility parameter, it is successfully used with these columns for chromatography.
The PLgel 10 um MIXED-B columns are designed for high molecular weight polymer analysis and demanding eluent conditions. They span a wide range of molecular weights up to 10 million with a linear calibration curve and provide good resolution with relatively low pressures.
