Dispersants and Lubricants
| Name: | Chemical Composition | Approx. Melting Range [°C] | Appearance/ Supply Form | Applications | Region |
Aflux® 16 | calcium salts of naturally occuring fatty acids in blended with an amide ester wax | 80-105 | beige granules | Polymer compounds, primarily based on EPDM and IIR. Reduces the viscosity of rubber mixes. Reduces sticking to mixing units, aids removal of vulcanizates from the mold. | |
| Aflux® 25 | combination of isoalkanes with fatty acids | solidification point: 70 | whitish pastilles | Lubricant for NR and speciality rubbers such as ACM, CR, FPM, HNBR, NBR, etc. For molded and extruded goods of all types, articles for food contact applications (compliance with BfR recommendations). Suitable for extrusion and injection molding. | |
| Aflux® 37 | Blend of surface active substances with fatty acids. | 57 - 63°C | white pastilles | Silica tire treads, compounds based on highly active white fillers. | |
| Aflux® 42 | blend of fatty acids, fatty alcohols and fatty acid esters | Melting point, DSC1. heating: 90-100 °C | light-brown to brown pastilles | For all rubbers including EPDM and CR. For technical molded and injected articles of all types, footwear. For continuous vulcanisation processes (LCM, UHF) and injection molding. | |
| Aflux® 42 M | blend of fatty acids, fatty alcohols and fatty acid esters | solidification point: 80-90 | light-brown to brown pastilles | For all rubbers including EPDM and CR. For technical molded and injected articles of all types, footwear. For continuous vulcanisation processes (LCM, UHF) and injection molding. | |
| Aflux® 43 | anhydrous blend of fatty alcohols and fatty acid esters | 92 - 102 °C | light-brown to brown pastilles | Profiles, Technical Rubber Goods. Applicable in continous vulcanization processes (LCM, UHF) and in injection molding. | |
| Aflux® 54 | pentaerythrityltetrastearate | 58-65 | whitish micro pearls | Particularly suitable for AU, CO, ECO and FPM, technical molded and extruded articles. Reduces the viscosity of rubber mixes. Reduces sticking to mixer units, aids removal of vulcanizates from the mold. | |
| Aktiplast® | combination of zinc salts of unsaturated fatty acids | 73-87 | light brown pastilles | Molded and extruded goods of all types, expanded rubber articles, hard rubber, rubber articles for food contact applications (compliance with BfR recommendations). Peptising effect in NR and IR above 60°C. Retards scorch and accelerates vulcanisation. | |
| Aktiplast® PP | combination of zinc salts of saturated fatty acids | 101-111 °C | light brown pastilles | Tires, molded and extruded articles of all types, hard rubber. Peptising effect in NR and IR upwards of 60°C. Retards scorch and accelerates vulcanisation. | |
| Aktiplast® ST | blend of hydrocarbons, Zn-soaps and fillers | 85-100 | light-brown pastilles | Dispersant and lubricant for highly filled synthetic diene rubber compounds;particularly suitable for compounds containing high-activity silica: tire treads, technical molded articles. | |
| Aktiplast® T | combination of zinc salts of unsaturated fatty acids | 75-85 | brown pastilles | Molded and extruded goods of all types, expanded rubber articles, hard rubber. Peptising effect in NR and IR above 60°C. Retards scorch and accelerates vulcanisation. |
