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.

Cariflex will be constructing the world’s largest and Singapore’s first polyisoprene latex plant on this site. Driven by a strong commitment to better serve its global customers in medical and consumer products, this investment represents the largest capacity expansion in Cariflex’s existing accomplishments.
Read MoreWacker Chemie AG is preparing to build a new silicone production complex at its Charleston site in the US state of Tennessee. The Munich-based chemical group has already started a feasibility study. In a first step, it is planned to build production plants for high-consistency silicone rubber and silicone sealants, used, for example, in construction applications. In addition, plants are to be built for the manufacture of intermediates
