Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) and Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPM) are highly valued elastomers known for their excellent resistance to weathering, ozone, and heat. They are extensively used in automotive components, roofing membranes, seals, and various industrial applications. However, processing these versatile rubbers can present challenges, particularly in achieving optimal viscosity and surface finish for extrusion products. At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we have developed a cutting-edge solvent-free additive specifically designed to address these processing hurdles for EPM/EPDM compounds, significantly improving their manufacturability and end-product quality.

The viscosity of rubber compounds directly influences their flow behavior during extrusion and molding processes. High viscosity can lead to increased energy consumption, die swell, and surface defects in extruded profiles. Our solvent-free additive, a reactive polysiloxane, is engineered to effectively lower the viscosity of EPM/EPDM compounds. This reduction in viscosity facilitates easier processing, allowing for higher extrusion speeds and reduced pressure requirements. For manufacturers, this translates into tangible benefits such as shorter cycle times and improved energy efficiency, contributing to cost savings and increased production output. The ability to lower viscosity EPM EPDM is a critical advantage in competitive manufacturing environments.

In addition to viscosity control, the surface characteristics of extruded rubber products are crucial for both aesthetic appeal and functional performance. Surface roughness, die lines, and flow marks can detract from the product's appearance and potentially compromise its sealing or protective capabilities. Our additive not only helps in reducing viscosity but also significantly improves the surface characteristics of extrusion products. It promotes a smoother, more uniform surface finish, minimizing defects and enhancing the overall quality and visual appeal of the final rubber components. This focus on improve surface characteristics extrusion products makes our additive a valuable tool for quality-conscious manufacturers.

When considering replacements for traditional processing aids, it's important to find solutions that offer comparable or superior benefits. Many conventional additives, such as stearic acid, paraffin, EBS, and PE wax, are used to improve processing fluidity and release. However, our solvent-free polysiloxane additive offers a more advanced and effective solution for improve processing fluidity release performance. Its unique chemical structure allows for excellent slip properties and enhanced mold release, preventing sticking and ensuring clean ejection of finished parts. This leads to reduced scrap rates and a more efficient manufacturing process overall.

The chemical nature of our additive, being a reactive polysiloxane with vinyl functionality, allows it to integrate well within the EPM/EPDM matrix. This integration is key to achieving sustained improvements in processing and performance, rather than just a surface-level effect. The reliability and consistency of such additives are paramount for industries like automotive, where stringent quality standards are in place. Manufacturers looking for a high-performance processing aid that can address specific challenges in EPM/EPDM processing will find our product to be an indispensable component.
