RUBBER PROCESS OIL

Rubber Process Oil

Mineral oils with completely different compositions have been evidenced their importance as softeners and extender method oils in rubber compounds and are used for over 100 years. Rubber process oil is used throughout a mix of rubber compounds. These facilitate in rising the dispersion of fillers and flow characteristics of the compound throughout more process.

Production

Rubber process oil is derived from petroleum crude oil when the additional volatile petrol and heating oil fractions are removed by distillation. Rubber process oil is mixtures of paraffinic, naphthenic and aromatic compounds of wide distribution of molecular weight. Rubber process oil is used in the rubber industry to enhance the process ability of rubbers and rubber compounds and increase the bulk of rubber so as to lower the price. Method aids are increasingly important for the rubber industry due to the following needs:

RPO Function

Depending on the kind of rubber and also the end rubber process oil uses, various kinds of rubber process oil are selected. Rubber process oil is broadly divided into:

AROMATIC OIL

The primary characteristics of aromatic hydrocarbons are the presence of the double bonded mix ring carbon structure. Aromatic extracts procured from selected refineries and suitably blended to meet stringent specifications, are used for compounding batches to manufacture Tyres, calendared and moulded sheets, Tread rubber etc.

High rubber and polymer solvency
Widely used in the manufacturing of automotive tyres and tubes, bi-cycle tyres, tyres retreading materials, belting, hoses, battery containers, extruded products and technical moulded goods
Highly suitable for Natural Rubber, Styrene Butadiene Rubber, Polybutadiene Rubber and Neoprene Rubbers
Offers well compatibly and is suitable for use with Natural Rubber, SBR, PBR, CR etc.

PARAFFINIC OILS

This category of hydrocarbons constitutes branched chain or straight linked hydrocarbon molecules of various viscosities. Because the chain length will increase, the viscosity will increase and also the rubber process oil becomes a lot of viscous. They find extensive usage in ethylene-propylene rubbers. These are more stable and have the highest flash purpose for a given viscosity.

These oils are used in the manufacturing of butyl tubes and a variety of technical moulded and extruded products based on polar rubbers like EPM & EPDM etc.
They have good thermal stability and are suitable in the manufacture of light coloured products and because of their high paraffinic content and viscosity, these oils are preferred for achieving high retention of properties after ageing and higher loading of oil
They are used for heat resistant conveyor belts and steam hoses

NAPHTHENIC OIL

Naphthas are a category of hydrocarbons conjointly referred to as ‘cycloparaffins’. Although their structure is similar to the aromatic ring, these are single bonded so having a stable structure. Many such hydrocarbon rings are also linked, indicating a range of available grades.Their unique color stability, solubility and good thermal stability make them ideal for molded articles, slippers, LPG tubes, floor tiles, etc.

These are non-staining in nature and posses excellent thermal, oxidation and colour stability
They are recommended in the manufacture of automotive tubes, light coloured non-back footwear products and also moulded and extruded goods
They are compatible for processing with NR, SBR, PBR, Butyl and EPDM rubbers
Special tailor-made blends are also available for TPR and other specific applications
