| Function: Aflux 37 enhances the processing of silica-based rubber compounds by improving silica dispersion and decreasing compound viscosity. By application of Aflux 37 higher extrusion rates are obtained. Owing to its selected polarity Aflux 37 acts as a surface active substance for white fillers. The properties of the resulting vulcanizates, such as hardness and modulus, are not affected. The silanization reaction is also not influenced. Therefore, Aflux 37 can be used in combination with any silane. Application: Compounds for tires and technical rubber goods containing white polar fillers Information provided by Lanxess. |
