Zinc Oxide RAC by Brüggemann is a type of active zinc oxide that is produced through a special precipitation process. It is suitable for use in the vulcanization of a variety of rubber types, including:Natural rubber (NR)Styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR)Isoprene rubber (IR)Nitrile rubber (NBR)The product has excellent vulcanization properties due to its gentle thermal treatment and chemical origin. It is known for its high specific surface area, which enables it to provide excellent mechanical properties even when used in smaller amounts compared to traditional zinc oxides. Zinc Oxide RAC has a shelf life of 12 months.

Brueggemann Zinc Carbonate AC is not only a raw material for organic zinc derivatives. In the rubber industry, it is also used in the production of transparent and translucent rubber items. A product with great potential: In the production of zinc carbonates too, Brüggemann has many years of experience and offers maximum quality and efficiency for a wide variety of applications in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries. In these sectors too, we develop specific and individual solutions in close communication with our customers’ formulations. In addition, we keep developing new application areas in the cosmetics and household sectors, but also in the chemical industry. Our direct and indirect so-called thermal zinc oxides serve a broad application spectrum. For instance, they are used in the rubber, glass/ceramics, pharmaceuticals/cosmetics, and paint/varnish industries. Additional product information: Can be used in zinc soaps and zinc salts, catalysts, cosmetics, and household cleaners, thanks to fungicidal and antiseptic active ingredientsHigh purity and reactivityActivator for sulfur and thiuram vulcanization in the rubber industry

Brueggemann TP 1862 is a combination of novolak-based resin along with a zinc-based catalyzing additive that additionally allows the elimination of cobalt and cobalt salts from steel-cord adhesion mixtures without sacrificing vulcanization activity, mechanical properties, and adhesion characteristics.Removing cobalt and resorcinol from adhesion mixturesSteel-cord adhesion mixtures are commonly used in tires and other applications such as hoses or conveyor belts.In such mixtures, state-of-the-art technology uses systems containing cobalt salts as catalysts or co-accelerators and adhesion promotors, as well as resorcinol resins to achieve desired mechanical properties. As both cobalt and cobalt salts, on one hand, and resorcinol, or resorcinol-based resins, on the other hand, are deemed to be problematic from an environmental safety and health (ESH) point of view, it is worthwhile finding a solution to reduce or even eliminate such critical substances from modern rubber mixtures. The elimination of resorcinol is already realized by a novolak-based reinforcing resin. Highlights of TP 1862:No cobaltNo resorcinolHigh adhesion to steelHigh mechanical propertiesLow zinc and heavy metal content
