What is The Difference between Rubber Auxiliaries and Performance Regulator?
April 02, 2024
Rubber Auxiliaries and performance modifiers play different roles in the production of Rubber Products. Although they can both improve the performance of rubber products, there are some differences in their mechanisms and methods of use.
First of all, Rubber Auxiliaries is a chemical whose main function is to accelerate the vulcanization reaction of rubber, prompting the sulfur atoms to react with the double bonds in rubber, so as to make the rubber molecules form a cross-linked structure, and enhance the strength, abrasion resistance and aging resistance of rubber. Rubber Auxiliaries plays the role of catalyst in the processing of Rubber Products, which can shorten the vulcanization time, improve the efficiency of vulcanization, reduce the vulcanization temperature, reduce the amount of vulcanizing agent, thus reducing the manufacturing cost and improving the quality of rubber products.
Performance regulator is Additive that regulates the specific properties of rubber products. Performance regulators can adjust the hardness, elasticity, tensile strength, abrasion resistance, heat resistance and other properties of rubber products according to their specific requirements. Performance modifiers are mainly used to adjust the mechanical and physical properties of rubber products by changing the structure and properties of the rubber molecular chain, in order to meet the specific requirements of use. There are many kinds of performance regulators, including plasticizers, fillers, lubricants, plasticizers, etc. Each performance regulator has its own specific mechanism and method of use.
In general, Rubber Auxiliaries are mainly used as vulcanization accelerators to promote the vulcanization reaction of rubber and enhance the mechanical properties and aging resistance of rubber products; while performance modifiers are mainly used to adjust the specific properties of rubber products, so that they can be adapted to different use environments and requirements. In the production process of rubber products, Rubber Auxiliaries and performance regulators often need to be proportioned and added according to specific requirements to achieve results. Therefore, there are some differences between Rubber Auxiliaries and performance regulators in terms of their mechanism of action and methods of use, but they both play an important role in improving the performance of rubber products.
