Factice

Factice, a vulcanized unsaturated vegetable or animal oil, plays a crucial role as a processing aid and property modifier in the rubber industry. By cross-linking fatty-acid chains with sulphur or sulphur monochloride, factice enhances the processing characteristics and ozone resistance of rubber compounds. Depending on the type and amount used, factice can improve dimensional stability, reduce mill sticking, and enhance the overall haptics of rubber products. Its applications range from improving extrusion conditions to preventing shrinkage and bleeding of liquid ingredients, making it indispensable for producing high-quality rubber goods.

The main benefits of using factice as a processing aid in rubber compounds include:

- Improved plasticizer, absorption and retention
- Enhanced dimensional stability
- Reduced mill sticking
- Lower mixing temperatures
- Reduced shrinkage
- Improved extrusion and calendering
- Enhanced ozone resistance
- Better degassing
- Improved/enhance tactile properties
