Baion™ Application Guide

Chemical Composition

Baion™ processing additives are based on blends of surface active chemicals

Specific surfactants : fatty esters, fatty alcohols, fatty acids.

Synthetic chemical derivatives : metallic salts, ether and amide of fatty materials

Polymers with different polar functions : hydrocarbon waxes and long chain polyglycol derivatives

Application and Uses

Baion™ processing aids are used for the following applications:

Dispersing agent for fillers, carbon black, powder additives

Internal lubricant : this type of lubricant has a relatively good compatibility with rubber polymers which reduces the bulk viscosity of the compound and promotes its easier flow

External lubricant : this component "blooms" to the surface-modifying the rubber metal interface and produces slippage between compound rubber and metal surfaces

Internal mold release : acts as an external lubricant during vulcanization
