Application
Footwear
- Abrasion resistance
- Cutting and chunking resistance
- Flex life improvement
Rolls
- Abrasion resistance
- Aging resistance
- Processing- Set reduction (better load bearing)
- Reduced water swell
- Lower hysteresis
Mechanical Molded Goods
- Increased modulus
- Better heat aging
- Compression set reduction
- Dynamic property improvement
- Reduced swell to polar liquids
- Filler substitution (non-black for black)
Hose
- Improved abrasion on cover
- Better heat aging
- Increased modulus
- Lower compression set
- Improved adhesion to reinforcing elements
Solid Tires
- Improved abrasion
- Lower hysteresis
- Higher modulus
- Improved processing
- Possibly better adhesion
Tires
- Treads for abrasion, hot tear
- Carcass for adhesion and/or filler substitution
- Breaker (belt) stocks for adhesion
Belts
Flat Belts
- Increased abrasion
- Improved reversion resistance
- Reduced cost with clay substitution for black
- Improved cord adhesion
- Increased flex life and modulus
V Belts
- Increased modulus
- Improved abrasion
- Longer flex life
- Improved adhesion to reinforcing elements
