Products that play a critical role
Flexsys products play an important role in the manufacture of rubber. These chemicals help cure and protect the rubber, increase durability and fatigue life and provide heat resistance. They are used for rubber product applications in automobiles, aircraft, as well as in truck tires, belts, hoses and footwear.
Flexsys Rubber Chemicals
1.ACCELERATORS:
BLENDS
Blends of accelerators capable of being used as a single component.
DITHIOCARBAMATES
Secondary accelerators for thiazoles and sulfenamides. Scorchy, fast curing accelerators for NR, SBR, EPDM and latices.
DITHIOPHOSPHATES
Fast curing, non-N-nitrosamine generating secondary accelerators for NR and EPDM.
GUANIDINES
Secondary accelerators for thiazoles and sulfenamides, improving the vulcanization rate and crosslink density of the primary accelerator. Gelling agents for latex foam processes.
SULFENAMIDES
Medium-fast curing primary accelerators with moderate scorch safety, used in all sulfur curable elastomers. Generally used with a secondary accelerator to adjust curing characteristics.
SULFENIMIDES
Delayed action slow curing accelerators, used in all sulfur curable elastomers. Used in thick section articles where good reversion resistance is critical.
THIAZOLES/MERCAPTOS
Medium-fast curing primary accelerators with moderate scorch safety, used in all sulfur curable elastomers. Generally used with a secondary accelerator to adjust curing characteristics.
THIURAMS
Scorchy, fast curing accelerators that provide high modulus. Secondary accelerators for thiazoles and sulfenamides.
OTHER PRODUCTS OF TYPE ACCELERATORS
PERKACIT, SANTOCURE and VOCOL
2. ANTIDEGRADANTS:
ANTIDEGRADANT BLENDS
Improve elastomer resistance to ozone and fatigue. Preblended for improved handling.
ANTIOXIDANTS - NON-STAINING
Non-staining/non-discoloring antioxidants to improve elastomer resistance to oxidative/thermal degradation. Stabilize various polymers.
ANTIOXIDANTS - STAINING
Staining/discoloring antioxidants to improve elastomer resistance to oxidative/thermal degradation.
ANTIOZONANTS/ANTIFLEX AGENTS
Improve elastomer resistance to ozone and fatigue.
OTHER PRODUCTS OF TYPE ANTIDEGRADANTS
FLECTOL, MONTACLERE SPH, PERMANAX ODPA, Q-FLEX QDI, SANTOFLEX, SANTONOX, SANTOVAR and SANTOWHITE
3. ANTIREVERSION AGENTS:
PERKALINK 900
Stops the loss of compound physical properties that result from reversion of sulfur crosslinks, providing excellent hysteresis with dynamic stability. Perkalink 900 functions by inserting new, heat stable crosslinks at the site of the reverted sulfur crosslink. This new crosslink is formed whether the reversion is caused by overcure, high temperature service or high temperature curing.
4. LATEX STABILIZERS:
VULCASTAB
Vulcastab LW is recommended for stabilization of latices against fillers, acids and cationic coagulants.
5. POST-VULCANIZATION STABILIZERS:
DURALINK
Increases the retention of physical and dynamic properties on overcure, high temperature cure and during service by providing a hybrid crosslink which combines excellent thermal stability with dynamic flexibility. Used in conjunction with conventional or Semi-E.V. sulfur-based curing systems in NR, IR, SBR and blends. May be used as a bonding promoter for rubber/brassed steel adhesion.
6. PRE-VULCANIZATION INHIBITORS:
SANTOGARD
Provides predictable scorch control in most sulfur vulcanizations; improved cost performance through marginal stock recovery, single-stage mixing, higher processing and/or curing temperatures; activity is linear and higher than most retarders; may cause bloom above 0.5 phr.
7. REINFORCING AGENTS:
SANTOWEB
Santoweb D for use in NR, SBR, BR and CR for enhanced rubber to fibre adhesion when compound contains Resimene HMMM or similar bonding agent also; contains methylene acceptors. Santoweb DX: Same as Santoweb D but without bonding component. Santoweb H for use in EPDM and IIR elastomers for enhanced rubber to fibre adhesion when compound contains Resimene HMMM or similar bonding agent. Santoweb W is designed for use in PVC, NBR and non-black rubber compounds; contains no bonding agent.
8. VULCANIZING AGENTS:
INSOLUBLE SULFUR
Non-blooming vulcanizing agent for unsaturated elastomers.
SULFUR DONORS
Non-blooming vulcanizing agent for unsaturated elastomers.
OTHER PRODUCTS OF TYPE VULCANIZING AGENTS
CRYSTEX
Crystex is a non-blooming vulcanizing agents for unsaturated elastomers. By being insoluble in elastomers, Crystex retards bin scorch, prevents migration of sulfur and preserves surface tack. This is important in the manufacture of tyres and other plied-up rubber goods. The regular grades are indicated Crystex OT. Crystex HS OT grades have high thermal stability providing optimum resistance to conversion to rhombic sulfur at rubber processing temperatures. Crystex HD OT 20 is designed for improved flowability and dispersibility. Crystex 60 OT 10 is a mixture of insoluble/polymeric sulfur and rhombic sulfur.
SULFASAN DTDM
Sulfur donor for E.V. and Semi-E.V. cure systems; provides heat/reversion/aging resistance in NR and synthetics; non-blooming; excellent storage safety.
