The extrusion of EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber presents unique processing challenges, often requiring specific additives to achieve optimal results. At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., a leading manufacturer and supplier from China, we specialize in providing solutions that tackle these complexities. Our high-quality rubber flowable agent is engineered to significantly improve the extrusion process for EPDM and other rubber compounds.

Understanding EPDM Extrusion Challenges

EPDM rubber is prized for its excellent resistance to weathering, ozone, UV radiation, and heat, making it ideal for automotive seals, roofing membranes, and electrical insulation. However, EPDM compounds can sometimes exhibit high viscosity and poor flow characteristics during extrusion, leading to issues such as:

  • Difficulties in achieving desired profiles and shapes.
  • Surface imperfections like roughness, die-lines, or melt fracture.
  • Increased energy consumption due to higher processing pressures.
  • Reduced throughput and productivity.

Addressing these challenges requires careful formulation and the strategic use of processing aids. This is where a reliable rubber flowable agent becomes indispensable.

How Flowable Agents Enhance EPDM Extrusion

Our non-toxic rubber flowable agent works by modifying the rheological properties of the EPDM compound. When added during the mixing stage, it:

  • Increases Compound Mobility: The primary function is to make the rubber compound flow more easily through the extruder die. This improved mobility ensures that the material fills the die uniformly, resulting in consistent dimensions and profiles.
  • Reduces Viscosity: By lowering the overall viscosity of the compound, the agent requires less pressure and energy for extrusion. This not only saves operational costs but also reduces wear on extrusion equipment.
  • Improves Surface Finish: A direct consequence of enhanced flow and reduced internal friction is a smoother, more aesthetically pleasing surface on the extruded EPDM parts. This minimizes the need for secondary finishing operations, contributing to cost savings.
  • Prevents Scorching and Improves Dispersion: As mentioned previously, our agent helps prevent premature vulcanization (scorching) and ensures better dispersion of other ingredients, leading to a more homogenous and reliable EPDM compound.
