4020 (6PPD)

4020 (6PPD)

4020 (6PPD) is a versatile rubber antioxidant presented as purple-brown to dark-brown granules or flakes. With a minimum assay of 96.0%, a freezing point of 45.0℃, a maximum heating loss of 0.50%, and an ash content not exceeding 0.20%, it showcases exceptional stability and reliability. In its pure form, 6PPD is a white solid gradually oxidizing to brown when exposed to air, while the industrial variant appears as purple-brown to black-brown granules or flakes.

Soluble in various organic solvents but insoluble in water, it offers compatibility with rubbers, low toxicity, and excellent antioxidant properties. 6PPD serves as a reliable solution against flex cracks, insolation cracks, and the harmful effects of toxic metals, making it suitable for a wide range of synthetic and natural rubber applications, including tires. Packaged in 20kg or 25kg kraft paper bags, it ensures ease of handling and transportation.

  5. Low Toxicity: With low toxicity levels, 6PPD ensures the safety of the manufacturing process and the end-users of rubber products.
  6. Anti-Ozone Properties: 6PPD provides effective protection against ozone, a common environmental factor that can degrade the physical properties of rubber.
  7. Resistance to Flex Cracks: The antioxidant properties of 6PPD help to resist the formation of flex cracks, maintaining the structural integrity of rubber components under dynamic stress.
  8. Protection Against Insolation Cracks: 6PPD contributes to the prevention of insolation cracks, enhancing the durability of rubber products exposed to sunlight.

Major Applications

Understanding Rubber Vulcanization and its Processes

Rubber vulcanization is a crucial process that transforms elastomers, initially possessing weak thermoplastic properties, into a robust, elastic, and durable substance with enhanced properties. This transformation involves introducing a network of cross-links into the elastomers, thereby significantly improving their mechanical and chemical characteristics.

SBR Rubber – Properties, Applications and Uses

SBR is a commonly used, general purpose rubber known for its cheapness and abrasion resistance. Invented in the 1930s by German scientists after natural rubber supplies were cut off, SBR has become a staple of the automotive and industrial sectors. In this article, we’re covering the basics of SBR rubber, including its makeup, properties, and applications.
