Value |
| Neoprene |
À-Ñ 617À Improving processing characteristics such as mold flow and mill release; reduced die swell; improved extrudate finish; non-bleeding; do not adversely affect physical properties and adhesion characteristics. |
| EPDM |
À-Ñ 617À Reduced Mooney viscosity and mill tackiness; improved mold flow, mold release and building tack with no sacrifice in cure rate or physical properties |
| Nitrile Rubber |
À-Ñ 617À Very effective processing aid for nitrile rubber compounds; milled stocks sheet faster and smoother; lower viscosities, decreased scorch sensitivity; reduced nerve and shrinkage contributing to better calendering and extrusion properties. |
| SBR |
À-Ñ 617À Reduced iscosity and scorch sensitivity; improved mold flow and mold release; the non-blooming characteristic leads to no decrease in green tack or adhesive qualities necessary for roll covering, belting and shoe sole applications. |
| Hypolon |
À-Ñ 617À Shortening of mixing cycles; decreasing viscosity; reducing shrinkage and scorch sensitivity; improving mold flow, mold release abrasion and crack-growth resisatance; providing excellent handling characteristics during mill. |
| Viton |
À-Ñ 617À Better mold flow and mold release with no change in cure rate; improved surface quality of both extruded and molded parts; no negative effect on original or ageing properties, as well as green tack and adhesion properties |
| Rubber mixing aid |
À-Ñ 6À, 617À, 629À Great improvements in Banbury mixing and mill handling with the smooth release of the stock; improving release; reducing viscosity; increasing extrusion rates. |
| Carbon black dispersion |
À-Ñ 617À, 400À Greatly improving carbon black dispersion with subsequent increase in tensile strength and hardness |
| Tire Applications |
À-Ñ 6À, 617À Excellent internal lubrication for the compound; facilitating calender release; improving the surface smoothness of the finished sheet; no interfering with building tack or other physical properties. |
| Thermoplastic rubber for shoe soles |
À-Ñ 400À Extremely efficient flow aid greatly assisting injection at low pressure; reduced tackiness of compound; fewer flow marks; reduction in “white spots”; reduction in cycle time; permiting greater use of radial polymers for better abrasion. |
