Labeling Claims
Benefits

Where viscosity reduction is required, Pepton® 66 increases the mastication efficiency of open and internal mixers and therefore enhances compounding productivity by reducing both power consumption and mixing time.

Applications & Uses

Compatible Polymers & Resins
Recommended Applications

Pepton® 66 catalytically reduces the viscosity of natural rubber and unsaturated synthetic elastomers during compounding in open or internal mixers. Its physical form is suitable for automatic weighing and feeding systems.

Recommended Dosage
  • 0.1 - 0.5 phr for natural rubber
  • 1.5 - 3.0 phr for unsaturated synthetic elastomers

Packaging

20 kgs in sealed polythene liner bag in cardboard carton.

Storage & Handling

Storage Stability

Good, under cool dry conditions. However, Pepton® 66 should be used within four years of manufacture. Some compaction may occur in storage. This is normal and will not affect the inherent performance of the product.
