PREMIUM MODIFIED NATURAL RUBBER
Properties of Premium Modified Natural Rubber:
- Increased polarity of the rubber structure: This enhancement allows the rubber to be more compatible with polar polymers such as PVC and PLA.
- Improved vibration absorption: The rubber's enhanced ability to absorb and reduce vibrations makes it suitable for applications requiring vibration damping, such as automotive components.
- Enhanced silica dispersion: Facilitates better dispersion of silica within the rubber matrix, leading to increased strength and durability, thereby improving overall performance.
- Reduced rolling resistance and improved wet grip: Lower rolling resistance contributes to energy and fuel savings, while better wet grip enhances driving safety.
- Environmentally friendly: Produced through processes or materials that minimize environmental impact, such as utilizing sustainable raw materials or reducing toxic emissions.
- Reduced protein content: Lowering the protein levels in natural rubber decreases the risk of allergic reactions associated with rubber use.
- Lighter color and increased translucency: A paler and more translucent appearance, measurable by a decrease in the Lovibond scale, indicates higher quality.
The specified properties can be applied across various industries and applications as follows:
- Anti-vibration mountings: Utilized to reduce vibrations.
- Footwear components: Enhance comfort, durability, and foot support.
- Acoustic devices: Employed for sound generation, reception, or control.
- Tires for passenger cars and bikes: Designed to improve traction on various surfaces and provide high durability to withstand impacts and wear during riding.
- Others: Applicable in various other industries requiring the unique properties of premium natural rubber.
