Function: Peptizer for natural and isoprene rubber as well as for their blends with other synthetic rubbers; processing promoter for synthetic rubber; activator with delayed action Use: Aktiplast is effective in natural and isoprene rubber at a mill temperature as low as 60 °C. Being rubber soluble, a homogeneous breakdown is achieved without the risk of blooming. Aktiplast prolongs the scorch time and serves as a dispersing agent for all fillers. Due to its zinc content it activates the vulcanization. An addition of stearic acid is not necessary and a reduction in zinc oxide is possible. Aktiplast shortens the mixing time and improves the flow characteristics of the uncured compound. Aktiplast has no adverse effects on rubber-to-metal bonding. Aktiplast improves the storage stability, which is of particular advantage in direct vulcanization Application: Molded and extruded rubber components of all kinds, expanded rubber articles, hard rubber, rubber articles for food contact applications (compliance with BfR recommendations, max. dosage 3%, calculated on the finished article) Information provided by Lanxess. |
