Kauçuk Performansının Kilidini Açmak: Kauçuk Katkı Maddelerinde Polietilen Glikolün Rolü
In the dynamic world of rubber manufacturing, performance-enhancing additives are essential to ensure high efficiency, processability, and product durability. One such versatile additive gaining widespread attention across European markets is Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) .
Polyethylene Glycol Rubber Additive: A Game-Changer
Polyethylene glycol has become a preferred rubber additive due to its chemical stability, compatibility with diverse rubber systems, and multifunctional properties. As a non-toxic, water-soluble polymer, PEG significantly enhances compound flexibility, surface smoothness, and processing behavior.
PEG Rubber Processing Aid: Improving Flow and Processability
When used as a rubber processing aid, PEG helps reduce internal friction during mixing, improving the dispersion of fillers and accelerators. This results in better flow characteristics and more consistent final products. Especially in high-filler formulas or silica-based compounds, PEG proves critical in reducing viscosity and boosting throughput.
PEG 4000 Rubber Lubricant: Enhancing Internal Lubrication
PEG 4000, with its higher molecular weight, is particularly effective as a rubber lubricant. It acts as an internal lubricant, minimizing energy consumption during compounding and extrusion. This leads to improved surface finish, dimensional stability, and reduced wear on processing equipment—an essential feature for tire production and molded rubber goods.
PEG 6000 Rubber Release Agent: Smoother Demolding
In molding applications, PEG 6000 is widely used as a rubber release agent. It functions as an internal mold release additive, preventing rubber parts from sticking to molds without affecting vulcanization. This reduces downtime, enhances product surface quality, and eliminates the need for external release sprays—making it ideal for precision rubber parts like gaskets and seals.
