Rubber processors outside the tire market can also have confidence in Rhein Chemie’s release agent portfolio. For example, manufacturers of elbow hoses can use environmentally compatible Rhenodiv® lubricants to push hose blanks onto bent metal mandrels and remove them again with ease after the following vulcanization. While Rhenodiv® H 801 was developed for hoses made from special-purpose rubbers such as epichlorohydrin rubber (ECO), Rhenodiv® H 850 enables smooth vulcanization of ethylene-propylene-diene rubber (EPDM) elbow hoses.
