Cureblends
What about the lot-to-lot consistency of Cureblends?
Each lot of Akrochem cureblend has to meet strict quality standards that are established
from your specifcations. This ensures each lot of Akrochem Cureblend will perform
consistently from batch-to-batch of rubber compound mixed.
Quality rubber compounding is assured because:
• You can achieve more accurate and consistent weights and more thorough
chemical incorporation which results in more consistent rheometer cure curves.
This will translate to the pressroom running more effciently
• You’ll be assured of the presence of critical materials in a compound that are not
easily tested for (such as antioxidants, antiozonants, etc.)
• You’ll gain full traceability on all raw materials
• SPC data is available
• Quality control record keeping is reduced
What about chemicals that react with each other?
When necessary, Akrochem Cureblends employ a bag-in-bag system that allows us to
take reactive chemicals, place them in a separate batch inclusion bag and then place that
bag in the primary batch inclusion bag with the other chemicals that are customized for
that cureblend. Extensive testing and quality assurance measures are taken to ensure the
compatibility of chemicals for each cureblend.
Do Cureblends contain chemicals other than accelerators?
Cureblends can be blends of various types of chemicals used in the compounding
of rubber goods. For instance, a typical cure blend may contain components of the
cure system and/or antioxidant, antiozonant, processing aid, activator or other small
volume chemical(s) that are essential to the processing of the rubber compound or the
performance of the fnal rubber article.
