PEPTON® 44T PRILLS

PEPTON® 44T PRILLS by Thomas Swan is 2,2' dibenzamido diphenyl disulphide blended with a synergistic activator and an inert carrier that acts as a peptizer. It is dust free, prill form which offers handling and environmental improvements over conventional powdered peptizers.

• It is effective in mastication at 70°C and above, and gives best performance at 150 - 160 °C.
• It catalytically promotes molecular chain scission during mastication, thereby reducing mastication time and power consumption, giving lower production costs and increased production capacity.
• Its peptizing action is inhibited by sulphur and the viscosity of compounded stocks is therefore stable on storage.
• Antioxidants generally retard the peptizing action and they should be added later in the cycle when the product is used in direct compounding.
• PEPTON® 44T PRILLS is recommended to increase the efficiency of open or internal mixer mastication of natural rubber and unsaturated synthetic elastomers, where reduction of viscosity is desirable.
• Its recommended dosage for natural rubber is 0.2- 0.4 phr and for synthetic elastomer is 1.5- 3.0 phr.
