Rubber additives are also known as rubber additives and rubber reinforcing agents.

Rubber additives cause vulcanization originating from natural rubber. At present, rubber additives are in a stable period, and the output of two main organic additives, vulcanization accelerators and antioxidants, is about 4% of the consumption of raw rubber. The production of foreign rubber additives is quite concentrated, and Bayer AG in the Federal Republic of Germany and Monsanto in the United States are the main manufacturers. The production of rubber additives (referring to organic additives) in China began in 1952.

Main categories:

Rubber vulcanization additives include vulcanizing agents (crosslinking agents), accelerators, activators and anti-scorch agents.

Rubber protective additives include antioxidants, antiozonants, anti-flex cracking agents, light stabilizers, ultraviolet light absorbers, harmful metal inhibitors, physical antioxidants, termite inhibitors, mildew inhibitors, etc.

Rubber reinforcement additives include carbon black, silica, metal oxides, inorganic salts, resins, etc.

Rubber adhesion assistants include M-A white system and cobalt salt system binders and adhesives.

Process operation aids include peptizers, solubilizers, plasticizers, softeners, homogenizers, lubricants, dispersants, tackifiers, release agents, mold release agents, etc.

Special additives include colorants, foaming agents, defoaming agents, thickeners, creaming agents, wetting agents, emulsifiers, stabilizers, coagulants, heat-sensitive agents, anti-webbing agents, preservatives, and preservatives , flame retardants, antistatic agents and aromatics, etc.
