Sulfur

Sulfur

Mixland+ S80 BA F500 Slabs  
 Product Bulletin
 MSDS Sheets

Sulfur curing agent. This product features a proprietary dual-viscosity binder with high active content. The dual-viscosity binder dispersions are non-sticking at room temperature and require no talc. The Mooney viscosity of the high activity of the dual-viscosity binder dispersions are significantly less than lower activity dispersions based on traditional polymer binders such as SBR and EPM at rubber processing temperatures. The dual viscosity binder dispersions have improved handling at room temperature but faster incorporation during the mix cycle and excellent final dispersion.
