Addressing Mold Fouling Issues During Rubber Production

During the molding cycle, rubber compounds produce by-products that are given off as rubber fume and residues on the mold surfaces.  If the residues are allowed to remain on the mold they gradually build in thickness and will eventually cause molding defects in the finished rubber parts. This is what is classically defined as “Mold Fouling.”  Other causes of mold fouling occur with the oxidation of portions of the rubber part, either from contact with trapped air pockets, or from the incomplete part stripping off the mold at the end of the cycle.

Rubber part defects then arise through physical dimensional changes to the mold by marring the component surface or through adhesion between the residue and the cured rubber part; causing lumps and imperfections to the finished molded parts. Consequently this increases product scrap rates.

So how do you go about minimizing this problem of mold fouling?

ChemSpec distributes a next generation physical peptizer / process aid for rubber mixing

ChemSpec has introduced a next generation physical peptizer/ process aid from Performance Additives, Sdn. This revolutionary product is named Ultraflow 440. UF 440 is a reaction blend of mixed metal soaps.   UF 440 Performs well in both natural and synthetic elastomers. UF 440 performs well to improve filler dispersion; particularly well with “white” fillers. The UF 440 overcomes “filler reticulation” to keep silica from forming secondary agglomeration during the mixing process
