Fillteck™ CP40 (Cellulose)

Cellulose based fibers. Enhances the dimensional stability (fibers form three-dimensional matrix in preforms), improves the green strength (naturally strong fibers provide strength and structure during the manufacturing process), reduces the green shrinkage (improves the quality and consistency of finished products) and improves the impact strength (fibers add strength and dimensional stability to finished products). Can reinforce both uncured (green) and cured rubber very effectively. In "green" rubber, properties such as yield strength, modulus and Mooney viscosity are all improved by the addition of this fiber. In cured rubbers, initial modulus, compressive strength, bending stiffness and tear resistance are all enhanced. It is naturally hygroscopic; absorbing free moisture thereby improving the vulcanization process. It is applicable for power transmission belts, 'V' belts, timing belts, conveyor belts, hoses, friction parts, rubber roll covers, seals and numerous other automotive uses. Precision Cut fibers of 1 mm-6 mm in length have been used in these applications.
