Rhenogran® P91-40/NR by LANXESS is a blend of 40% aramid chopped fiber pulp, 60% elastomer binder (NR) and additives. It is used as a high-grade reinforcing material for sulfur- and peroxide-cured rubber compounds and in thermoplastic rubbers, preferably based on NR, SBR for molded and extruded seals. It enhances dimensional stability and green strength. It improves elasticity modulus, modulus at low strain, flexural strength, hardness and abrasion. It provides compression-, tear propagation-, penetration-, shrinkage- and creep resistance. The dosage level of Rhenogran® P91-40/NR is 2-20 phr.

Rockseal® RS470-Roxul 1000 by Lapinus Fibres is highly cleaned, premium quality, mineral fibers. Used for industrial and automotive applications in non-asbestos organic (NAO) gasket materials like beater-addition paper cylinder head applications, friction papers (automatic transmissions and wet brake) and thermal and electrical insulating papers. Improves green strength and drainage properties. Offers high fiber length, very low shot level, smooth surface, heat resistance and dimensional stability. Rockseal® RS470-Roxul 1000 possesses surface treatment with a cationic surfactant.

Rhenogran® P91-40/EPDM by LANXESS is an aramid chopped fiber pulp that is pre dispersed in a polymeric binder. It is used as a high-grade reinforcing material for sulphur- and peroxide-cured rubber compounds and in thermoplastic rubbers, preferably based on EPDM for molded and extruded seals. It enhances dimensional stability and green strength. It improves elasticity modulus, modulus at low strain, compression resistance, flexural strength, hardness, abrasion and tear propagation-, penetration-, shrinkage- & creep resistance. The dosage level of Rhenogran® P91-40/EPDM is 2-20 phr.

Conduct-o-fil® S-2429-S by Potters Industries is a silver-coated solid glass. Possesses low density, reduced weight. Offers the conductive and shielding properties of pure silver and silver-coated metallic particles at a fraction of their cost and density. The glass core is virtually chemically inert, offering very good aging stability, even in high temperature environments. It will not oxidize and cause loss of electrical conductivity of the silvered particle over time and temperature. Conductivity and electromagnetic interference shielding protection are achieved as current passes along the surface layer of silver. Conduct-o-fil® S-2429-S is used in adhesive and gasket applications (approved for military gasketing); electronic packaging applications.

PuriCel® by Finite Fiber is a 100% natural, organic, renewable cellulose fiber and filler. It is a high purity, lightweight, low ash, neutral pH, non-abrasive, non-toxic, biodegradable and sustainable material. It has high physical water absorption and retention. It provides enhanced dimensional- and thermal stability, freeze-thaw control, good matting, rheological and thixotropic properties.

• It increases open time and improves vertical hold, tensile strength, elastic modulus and structural viscosity.
• It creates a reinforcing 3D fiber network in the final mix and improves performance in all types of adhesive formulations such as acrylic, butyl, epoxy, latex, and any type of solvent, water or 100% solids systems.
• Its adhesion properties optimize the adhesive bonding to the wall and provide a reduced slipping trend of the applied tile.
• PuriCel® is processed for uniformity of particle size and density for chemical construction products, such as smoothing compounds, fillers, mortars, mastic, stucco, grouts, plasters, sealants, caulks, and self-leveling cementitious materials.
