Release and Sliding agents for the Rubber Industry
The production of shaped rubber hoses requires high performing release agents that provide excellent sliding properties, yet with no negative impact on the physical properties of the rubber.
Evonik offers release agents meeting highest modern production standards. They help to reduce static and sliding friction without damaging the inner surface of the hoses in the extrusion process of green tubes and their vulcanization in the second production step.
Using the right release agents allows a continuous and efficient production, which is of utmost importance to hose manufacturers. Besides meeting the physicochemical needs of the production processes, our release agents do not cause corrosion on the mandrels, are not based on silicone oil and do not emit any odour.
All of our products in our current portfolio do not contain any hazardous substances and are thus listing-free. Furthermore, we have a wide range of biodegradable products with high biological and chemical oxygen demand (BOD&COD) which help to lower waste water treatment costs.
Beyond traditional release agents for standard polymers, EVONIK has developed products suitable for silicone and Fluorocarbon rubber.
EVONIK also offer several commercial solutions for special application fields such as Epichlorohydrin Rubber (ECO) and Chloroprene Rubber (CR).
Based on EVONIK's unique and innovative technology, they also provide specialty release agents that ensure safe processing of high temperature acrylic rubber mixtures. If required, EVONIK can gladly develop tailor-made solutions for your individual rubber type.
