• It features poly-sulphidic alkyl structures that align with sulphur deoxidation rates, resisting oxidative degradation while improving heat resistance and crack fatigue performance.
• It reduces puncture risk, rolling resistance, fuel consumption, and carbon-dioxide emissions, supporting carbon reduction efforts and ensuring environmental compliance.
• It acts as a reinforcing agent, enhancing filler performance and significantly improving rubber’s abrasion resistance.
• Casilane HP-669 boosts cut and pressure resistance while reducing hysteresis loss and moisture absorption, thereby enhancing mechanical strength, adhesion, thermal aging resistance, modulus, and flex life.
• It strengthens the bond between substrates and adhesives or coatings, resulting in products that are more durable, reliable, and long-lasting.
• It enhances mechanical properties like tensile strength, modulus, and elongation, making materials tougher, more flexible, and resilient.
• It improves chemical resistance, increasing stability, consistency, and product lifespan.
• It is used in the manufacturing of tires, hoses, rollers, belts, cables, footwear, and molded rubber parts.
• Recommended dosage is 1.0-4.0 PHR.
• It has a shelf life of over 2 years.

Compoback® CK/LL 32 by Brüggemann is an innovative material that exhibit properties of cross-linked material but can easily flow when processed in a conventional polyolefin extrusion.

• It can be used to increase the final working temperature of a different range of final parts, like pipes, foamed materials, cables.
• It is available in colorless pellets and is a ready to use product.
• Compoback® CK/LL 32 shows a shear dependent behavior.
• It can be used in compound to modulate the final properties in function of the application purpose.
• It can be recycled in the conventional polyolefin flows without any pre treatments, also when the life of the final parts is ended.
• It has a shelf life of 2 years.

Conductex 7055 Ultra by Birla Carbon is a highly dispersible, high purity, superior conductive carbon black. It achieves targeted conductivity in various polymers at relatively low loadings. These features aid in retention of critical mechanical properties and provide superior physical & chemical cleanliness, improved processability & rheology, low moisture pickup and superior surface smoothness in final products. The unique morphology of low surface area and high structure combination offers compounders to meet the quality criteria in demanding electrostatic dissipation (ESD) applications in plastics. Conductex 7055 Ultra is suitable for films & tapes, IC trays & boxes, antistatic flooring and automotive (fuel tanks & inlets) applications. It is also used in medium & high voltage cables, cable accessories and semiconductor shield (strippable & bonded) for power cables.

Conductex SC Ultra Beads by Birla Carbon is a conductive carbon black. Offers improved dispersion, increased compatibility and better processing. Provides longer screen life, enhanced color development and reduced scrap. It is suitable for use in thermosets or thermoplastics for improving color, tint or functional characteristics. Conductex SC Ultra Beads is recommended for wire and cable, electrostatic discharge, and other conductive applications.

SILMALINK AR1025 by Silma is a solvent-free, liquid reactive bi-functional polysiloxane used as an additive for HFFR thermoplastic olefins (EVA, LDPE, LLDPE) and peroxide-cured EVA or rubber compounds.

• It is suitable as a processing aid in high-loading MDH/ATH HFFR cable compounds, helping reduce die drool and energy consumption.
• It improves flame retardant properties such as char formation, heat and smoke release, and limiting oxygen index (L.O.I.).
• SILMALINK AR1025 reacts directly with fillers, enhancing compatibility with thermoplastic resins or rubber, providing lubrication and improved surface properties.
