Enhancing Durability, Processability, and Performance in Rubber Applications
-
Improved tensile & tear strength: Reinforces rubber, increasing durability.
-
Higher abrasion resistance: Extends product lifespan in high-wear applications.
-
Maintains elastic properties: Allows rubber to retain flexibility without excessive stiffness.
-
Better compression set resistance: Prevents permanent deformation under pressure.
-
For applications like industrial rubber, seals, and flexible elastomers, where the balance of both strength and stretchability are crucial, GCC provides the optimal balance between flexibility and strength.
-
Smaller particles (2 μm) enhance mechanical reinforcement, improving tensile strength without making the material too stiff.
- Medium particles (3 μm, 5 μm) help maintain elasticity and flexibility, preventing excessive hardness while ensuring durability.
-
-
Improved mixing & flow properties: Enhances processing in rubber extrusion and molding. Reduces clumping and improves uniformity.
-
Optimized dispersion: Ensures uniform filler distribution for consistent product quality.
-
GCC grades with particle sizes of 3 μm, 5 μm, and 10 μm are ideal for rubber compounding because they help optimize viscosity, mixing time, and filler distribution, making them ideal for industrial rubber, hoses, belts, and other high-volume rubber products.
-
Reduces expensive raw material use: Allows higher GCC loading to replace costly polymer resins.
-
Enhances volume & bulk properties: Maintains product integrity while lowering costs.
-
The 5 μm and 10 μm GCC grades make formulations more cost-effective by reducing the use of expensive polymers while maintaining good processability and mechanical properties.
-
Thermal stability: Ensures performance under high-temperature conditions.
-
Chemical resistance: Protects against degradation from oils, fuels, and environmental exposure.
-
1 μm and 2 μm GCC acid-coated are ideal for high-performance rubber applications requiring superior dispersion, reinforcement, and chemical resistance.
