Function: Aktiplast 8 is a highly effective peptizing agent for the depolymerization of natural rubber Use: In mastication the molecule chains of the rubber are split by a process in which atmospheric oxygen participates. This reduces their weight and decreases viscosity. Aktiplast 8 accelerates the mastication process, leading to important energy and time savings. In general, the effect increases with the temperature of the rubber. Aktiplast 8 is particularly suitable for NR and IR, on which it has a marked peptizing effect even at rubber temperatures of about 80 °C. It also peptizes synthetic rubber, such as SBR, IR and BR. Application: Tires and technical goods, masticator for peptizing natural rubber at low and high temperatures Information provided by Lanxess. |
