Curing is widely known as vulcanization. Curing treatment of rubber is the process of giving it certain qualities like strength, elasticity. In other terms, it involves the formation of cross-linking between polymer chains of the rubber molecules. Cross-linking prevents the chain from moving independently, letting the material stretch under stress and then return to its original shape when stress is released.
When curing rubber with sulfur, there is a chance of some uncured and over cured zones. To prevent this, We can use a Masterbatch of sulfur, which is also known as Pre dispersed sulfur. Pre-dispersed sulfur, as the name suggests, it is a Mixture of Rubber and Sulfur in the form of pallets. Pre dispersed sulfur ensures uniform curing of the compound.
Further, there are several benefits of using Pre dispersed sulfur-like
Dust Free & Eco-Friendly
No-fly loss, no loss due to spillages
Easy handling & housekeeping
No health hazards
Excellent dispersion in Rubber Matrices
Low scrap rate
No Static charge generation
Reduced mixing cycle time
Less power consumption
Increase in productivity
Automated feeding is highly effective
Single-stage mixing is possible
We all know manufacturing Pre dispersed sulfur is not possible, As per the leader in the market a lot of them recommend OCCL, they manufacture Pre dispersed sulfur under the brand name of DIAMIX, which can easily achieve these goals.
