Evonik is to present its new Vestenamer process additive at K 2019. The K fair will be held 16-23 October at Messe Dusseldorf in Germany.
The German company says that the new additive will supports efficient processing of tough rubber material so it can be used again in various applications, including road construction, sports areas or playgrounds.
Dr Peter Hannen, marketing development manager for Vestenamer, said: “As a process additive, Vestenamer improves the flowability of the rubber compound, which results in a material which can be processed much more efficiently.
“The reactivity and polymer structure are also important here, as both lead to a good network density between the rubber particles. This in turn positively impacts the mechanical properties.”
He added that the additive improves both the cost-effectiveness of processing and the quality of the rubber parts made from the recyclate.
At the K fair, Evonik will be located in Hall 6, stand B28
