Suprex™ Air-floated hard kaolin for superior mechanical properties
- Superior modulus
- Excellent green strength
- Improved tear and abrasion resistance
- Enhanced processability
Suprex™ is air-floated hard kaolin designed to improve the mechanical properties of EDPM, SBR and silicone rubber in a broad array of end applications.
Used in rubber compounds, Suprex™ improves:
- Modulus
- Tensile strength
- Tear resistance
- Abrasion resistance
- Green strength
- Processability
- Cured stiffness
Suprex is suitable for the following compounds:
- SBR: improves tensile strength and wear and tear properties
- Natural Rubber: can be used at very high loading in natural tree rubber applications without affecting processability
- Polychloroprene: provides outstanding tear resistance at high loading
- Butyl Rubber: greatly improves tear resistance
Suprex™ is recommended for:
- Automotive hoses
- Cable sheathing
- Shoe soles
- Hydraulic and industrial hoses
We offer a full range of bespoke formulation and technical and process support services to help you match the right mineral grade to your application requirement.
