Why do we need additives for rubber?

Additives for rubber improve its resilience against aging, increase its resistance to chemicals, heat, and UV light, and enhance its mechanical properties. This ability to tailor the characteristics of rubber through additives supports the advancement of its usage in industrial applications.

What products do you supply to the rubber industry?

We supply the rubber industry with a broad portfolio of predispersed chemicals, processing promoters, and vulcanization and filling activators. In addition, the portfolio also includes anti-sun check waxes, release agents, tire marking paints, and tire curing bladders.

What is rubber product manufacturing?

Rubber product manufacturing is pivotal in the modern industrial landscape, serving as the backbone for many applications that touch nearly every aspect of our daily lives. Rubber's versatility and durability make it indispensable, from automotive tires and industrial belts to seals, hoses, and various consumer goods.

Why is rubber a high-performance product?

This is because rubber is soft and not very durable until vulcanization. By selecting the type of rubber, the crosslinking chemicals and additives required for the desired technical properties of the end product, high-performance products such as tires, hoses, gaskets, profiles and other rubber products are created.

What is struktol rubber?

Struktol manufactures a complete line of additives that function individually or in combination in both natural and synthetic rubber.

How can struktol additives improve processability?

By providing a full range of material-enhancing products, i.e. dispersants, homogenizers, lubricants, peptizers, plasticizers and tackifiers, the incorporation of Struktol additives can significantly improve processability for all stages of rubber production.
