Rhenogran® CTP-80

Rhenogran® CTP-80 by Rhein Chemie Additives (Lanxess Group) is a pre-vulcanization inhibitor for natural- and synthetic rubber. It retards the onset of cure in rubber without considerably extending the total curing time. It is used with sulfenamide or thiazole accelerators to improve processing safety. It enhances the storage stability of uncured compounds. It increases machine capacity utilization, when added in processing of rubber compounds at higher temperatures. It causes only very slight dis-coloration in bright or white articles. It contains ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM) as a binder. It is applicable in the production of tires, conveyor belts, shoe soles, technical molded and extruded articles. Recommended dosage level of Rhenogran® CTP-80 is 0.2-2 phr. It has a shelf life of 2 years.
