MoldWiz® IMRI - A non-silicone process aid additive for use in all types of rubber processing which eliminates the need for any external release agent minimizing mold and machine cleaning time. Facilitates processing by increasing the flow characteristics and lubricating qualities of the rubber formulation without affecting its mechanical properties. The cured product can be readily glued, bonded, coated, etc. and there is no exudation or deterioration after prolonged storage. There is an increase in elongation percentage and tensile strength with many formulations.

Functions: Processing Aid

Chemical Family: Chemical Mixtures & Blends

Compatible Polymers & Resins: Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM), Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA), Natural Rubbers (NR), Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR)

Application Method

Beginning with a clean mold will provide accurate results. It is recommended to remove mold release and rubber residue with CleanWiz. 0.2 – 1.0 phr will be effective in most rubber compounds. (2 – 10 parts per 1000 parts rubber). Begin testing with 0.25 and 0.5 phr to determine the optimum level of usage in a particular rubber recipe. Process Aid additive may be Banbury mixed or milled in the rubber recipe. If the process aid additive can be milled with the rubber first, it will promote faster mixing of fillers and additives, also reducing tack on the mill. In molding operations, rubber viscosity will be reduced allowing better fill at lower temperature and pressure.
