Rubber Nano Products

Advanced Materials & Chemicals

Rubber Nano Products (RNP) possesses advanced technology that enables the development of chemically specific vulcanization activators using sulfur. These activators belong to various accelerator classes, determined by the specific chemical species that form the active component of the accelerator. The innovative RNP technology allows for the utilization of different substrates, making it possible to create activators from a wide range of materials commonly used in rubber production, including stearic acid. The use of RNP products offers several benefits, including the reduction and optimization of zinc oxide and zinc content in the manufacturing of rubber articles. Moreover, these products facilitate lower cure press temperatures, resulting in energy savings. The coactivators used in RNP formulations enable exceptional property performances that go beyond those typically seen in standard ZnO2 rubber formulations.
