Features

The active substance of Silanogran PV is a low molecular polybutadiene containing silane groups which react by means of their reactive alcoxy groups (trimethoxy groups) and the silanol-groups-con-taining surfaces of silica and silicate fillers. The unsaturated polymer chains of Silanogran PV are integrated in the rubber matrix during vulcanization.

Application

The application of Silanogran PV results in an improvement of the curing properties as stated below

• shorter curing time at equal scorch time
•   better processability of the uncured compounds by lowering the Mooney Viscosity
•  increase of tensile strength, modulus and tear resistance
•   improvement of Compression Set
•   decrease of abrasion
•   minimized water absorption i. e. better electrical properties of cable compounds
•  increase of dynamic properties

Dosage

Silanogran PV is usually dosed between 1–6 weight percent calculated on silica fillers. A special mixing sequence does not have to be observed.
