Flame Retardant EVM
Thermax® N990 was added to a flame retardant EVM compound resulting in improvements in processability and a reduction in compound cost.
Continue readingSilicone Pigment
Thermax® N990UP and N991UP were added to a silicone compound. The masstone and tint colors were compared to those produced by black iron oxide and a low color furnace black.
Continue readingN990 and N907 Comparison
Thermax® N990 and Thermax® N907 were added to CR and EPDM compounds. N907 offers lower extractable organics content while providing the same processing and physical properties as N990.
Continue readingColoured Glass Production
Thermax® N990 was added as a reducing agent during coloured glass production. The high purity and greater surface area of N990 mean less carbon source can be used while providing consistent colour quality.

Thermax® N990 was added to foamed and unfoamed TPU formulations resulting in processing and physical property improvements.
Continue readingSolid Tire Sub-tread
Thermax® N990 replaced N660 in a NR/SBR solid tire sub-tread formulation leading to improvements in dynamic properties.
Continue readingFlame Retardant EPDM
Thermax® N990 was added to a flame retardant EPDM formulation resulting in improvements in processing and flammability properties.
Continue readingMetal Carbide
Thermax® N990/N991 Ultra Pure can be used in the production of metal carbides to minimize impurities, enhance density, and improve final product properties.
