RUBBER PROCESS OILS
Application areas:
ELASTO 165 is suitable for use in EPDM RUBBERS. ELASTO 245 is particularly suitable for use in butyl and ethylene propylene rubbers and light coloured rubbers. ELASTO 255 is specially developed for shoe sole applications.
Detail Description
Rubber process oils can be broadly classified into three basic groups depending on the physical arrangement of the carbon atoms namely, paraffinic, naphthenic and aromatics.
All petroleum oils are mixtures of various hydrocarbon groups and their classification is arbitrary and is based on the predominance of a particular hydrocarbon group.
HP ELASTO 165,245 and 255 are predominantly paraffinic rubber process oils suitable for use as plasticizers. ELASTO 165 and 255 are highly paraffinic.
Performance benefits:
- Adequate miscibility
