Gum RUBBER |
| SR-138 |
|
| This
is our high-grade gum recycled from the Examination Glove Rejects. The
process |
| used
in producing this grade is by using the application of mechanical shear
breakdown |
| with non-staining Oils and
Chemicals. No fillers are added when producing this grade. |
| The result is we have a High trade Recycle
which has a rubber content of almost 90%, |
| a
low specific gravity of about 0.95 and very high physical properties : -T.S.
- 18 |
| MPA and E.B. -(700%). |
|
| Products
where cost is a major consideration a large quantity of SR-138 can be
used |
| by
substituting with the virgin polymer thereby resulting in the cost
reduction. |
| With
the use of SR-138 the high physical properties and improved process ability
are |
| achieved. |
|
| The
manufacturing of products such as adhesives, tapes and sponge rubber, a long
time |
| is
required to masticate the virgin polymer breakdown. Using SR-138 this process
of |
| pre-mastication
can be eliminated. This advantage also reduces the processing cost |
| by
saving electrical energy and time. As the specific gravity is also low, the
cost |
| per kilo is also reduced. |
|
| PROCESS ADVANTAGES |
|
| Mixing
Process : SR-138 requires no mastication, faster and smoother mixing is
achieved. |
| Reduces the requirement of
energy thus the heat produced. |
|
| Molding Process : Flows better
in the mould, Clear design impressions are |
| obtained
from intricate designs, reduces the entrapment of air and al low rejection
rate |
| is achieved. |
|
| Extrusion Process : Faster
extrusion rate is obtained with reduced swelling. |
|
| Vulcanizing Process : Faster
cure rates are obtained with no risk of reversion. |
|
| Thus it can be seen that
recycle rubber improves the overall performances in |
| processing properties and
outputs with low energy consumption. |
