Powder solutions optimizing tires and PVC

The automotive industry is continuously seeking innovative ways to provide their customers with energy-efficient vehicles. High-end rubber solutions figure highly on the list of priorities. ARLANXEO places a significant focus on improving the energy efficiency of tires. A lot of research and work goes into developing products that, at the end of the day, optimize the fuel efficiency of cars.

Synthetic elastomer products can be solutions to meeting the new mobility demands in the automotive industry. Among ARLANXEO's extensive portfolio of high-quality nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), the Baymod® N thermoplastics modifier brand, coming in free-flowable fine powder form, remains permanently flexible and elastic while also being impact-resistant. It also displays an improved coefficient of friction and noise reduction in brake applications. Baymod® N improves in the final product for resistance to oils, fuels and greases.

Beyond tires

Given that linear Baymod® N grades are soluble in wet processes, they are also utilized in the rubber industry for gaskets manufactured in a solution process. Other applications are refrigerator seals, friction linings, brake linings, shoe soles and conveyor belts. They're also used for wet processes in the friction industry as a binder that improves the impact resistance.

In the plastics industry, the simple-to-use Baymod® N modifiers are a common choice for soft polyvinyl chloride (PVC) injection molding processes. The powdered NBR's are highly compatible with different polar base polymers and enhances their mechanical properties and elasticity.
