Performance of a novel sustainable oil specially developed for the tire industry is studied and compared with typical oils in typical S-SBR/BR tire tread formulations
with carbon black and silica/silane. In terms of mechano-dynamic properties, a shift of the maximum tangent delta towards lower temperature is observed.
Adhesives have been described as the diplomats of the rubber world, bringing materials together. Adhesion promoters help facilitate this process. To extend this metaphor, if adhesives are the diplomats, tackifier resins are the handshake that binds the agreement within rubber. These additives are generally medium molecular weight chemicals that are added to rubber compounds, altering their properties by imparting improved tack.
Read MoreThe United States has almost 1 million oil producing wells, and most require the use of an artificial lift system. There are various methods of artificial lift which are utilized to increase pressure within the reservoir to push oil to the surface. This allows operators to enhance production and extend well life.

Specifications regarding physical, mechanical and chemical properties, as well as “visual aspects” properties of the finished products are becoming more and more strict.
During compound production, all operations are involved, from the weighing to the storage of the semi-finished mixed compounds. The mixing operation plays a very important role, since it is the step where all ingredients are incorporated, dispersed and distributed.
In today’s ever competitive and challenging business environment, it is essential that all manufacturing businesses have their production efficiencies and costs under control. This holds especially true for rubber molding companies that do cryogenic deflashing. Two of the primary cost drivers in a cryogenic deflashing operation are cryogen (liquid nitrogen) and deflashing media consumption.
Read MoreComerio Ercole recently introduced, within its products portfolio, a digital platform named Hercules40 which is aimed at supplying its clients with a data driven analysis tool for continuous improvement of the production process, including energy consumption optimization, as well as value added after sales service.
Due to the advanced techniques of big data analysis and machine learning, process and instrumentation, the raw data present within Comerio Ercole machines and plants are transformed into smart data that become part of the strategic information available to plant operation and maintenance management through a simple and intuitive application.
