Zinkoxyd Aktiv
Zinc oxide
Lanxess Corporationï |
Sp. gr, 5.0; white to light yellowish powder; zinc oxide content min. 93; BET surface area approx. 45 m2/g; shipped: bag.
|
A very highly disperse activator; excellent for the manufacture of semi transparent rubber goods or goods with reduced zinc oxide content; when added at high levels imparts improved shape retention and provides highly elastic vulcanizates; used as an activator in latex compounds resulting low levels of zinc in latex compounds
|
|

|
Struktol WB 700A
Zinc oxide 91%; dispersing agent 9%
Struktol Company of America, LLCï |
Specific gravity: 3.85; bulk density: 1,200; ash content: 91%; appearance: non-dusting powder
|
A non-dusting powder and is preferably used, where high amounts of dispersing agents are undesirable; shorter mixing time can be achieved compared to powered zinc oxide due to faster incorporation and the temperature of the compound is increased only slightly, which is an advantage in scorchy stocks; can be used in small dosages due to the uniform dispersion of the zinc oxide; formation of agglomerates, variations of the physical values and brittleness of the vulcanized rubber are reduced; physical properties of the vulcanizates are improved, especially after aging.

Akro-Zinc Bar 85
Zinc oxide dispersion
Akrochem Corp.ï |
Sp.gr. 3.60, zinc oxide 85%; 6 lb. bar; 54 lb carton.
|
Use in place of zinc oxide powder on a part for part basis; use for applications where a pre-wetted product is desirable; G type Neoprenes where addition of zinc oxide late in mix is indicated; low hardness compounds where zinc oxide dispersion is amust.
|
|
Zic-Stick '85'
Zinc oxide dispersion
Rhein Chemie Corporationï |
Sp.gr. 3.66; zinc oxide content approx 90%; very fine dispersion of highly active zinc oxide
|
Activator for NR and SRs; vulcanizer for polychloroprene and other halogenated elastomers; superior activity coupled with rapid complete incorporation enables 3 parts of Zic Stick 85 to replace 5 parts of zinc oxide powder in most applications.
