RUBBER TYPE:
EPDM
APPLICATIONS:
Automotive Profiles, Wire and Cable, Battery, Fuel Cell
FORMULATIONS:
Clay, N990, and N550 blends in EPDM compounds
THERMAX® EFFECTS
When replacing clay:
- Increased modulus
- Lower compression set
- Ability to tailor electrical resistivity to application
- Reduced compound density
- Reduced wear of extruder and mixer components
When using a higher proportion of N990 relative to N550:
- Reduced viscosity
- Longer scorch time
- Increased elongation at break
- Higher electrical percolation threshold
- Greater extension of compound resulting in potential cost savings
