Features & Benefits

Features

Already at lower temperatures Mediaplast 60 shows remarkable function. The delivery form of the product ensures that Mediaplast 60 can be incorporated without difficulties in very short time and in-dependent on the mixing temperature. Therefore it can be added to the internal mixer, but on the open mill as well.

Applications & Uses

Dosage

Already by using small dosages, this effectiveness provides a better peptising effect on the pure polymer, and as well, if carbon black is present during the mastication process. Particularly for polymer/carbon black blends the break-down will take place very quickly and without delay, even when adding only small dosages of the product. 0.3–0.5 phr

Uses

The use of Mediaplast 60 lowers the mastication costs by reducing time and energy consumption of this process. Mediaplast 60 will have no visible influence on the color of the rubber compound, if used in the recommended dosing range.
