Kettlitz Chemie Antitack BTO-44 VC

Antitack BTO-44 VC is a powdered antitack agent, basically containing inert minerals in combination with calcium stearate, detergents, anti-foam and anti-rust agents for the treatment of unvulcanized rubber compounds, endless strips and granules. The product itself is most suitable for batch-off machines with spraying and dipping systems. After drying, the antitack film which remains on the surface of the rubber compounds is easy to control visually.

Features & Benefits

Features

The powder can be dispersed into water, also at lower temperatures. The antitack dispersion remains stable, even after a longer period of time. Once sedimentation happens (after weekends or holidays, etc.) the pigments will stay voluminous and soft and can be re-dispersed easily by every small move-ment of the bath. The contamination of the equipment by Antitack BTO-44 VC is relatively small, con-sidering the effectiveness of the material.

Applications & Uses

Uses

Depending on the softness / stickiness of the compounds we recommend a dilution ratio with water of 1:30 up to approx. 1:50.
