Rubber Processing Oil, Application : Industrial

Rubbers both synthetic and natural, are commercially used to convert into the fi nal products, from a toy to the tyre of a vehicle. Rubber Process Oils are used during the processing and production of rubber compounds. These help in improving the dispersion of fi llers and fl ow characteristics of the compound during further processing. Depending on the type of rubber and the end product applications, various types of rubber process oils are selected. The range of IPOL Rubber Process Oils can be broadly divided into 
– 1. Aromatic types        2. Naphthenic types         3. Paraffi nic types

The primary characteristics of aromatic hydrocarbons is the presence of the double bonded mix ring carbon structure. Aromatic extracts procured from selected refi neries and suitably blended to meet stringent specifi cations, are used for compounding batches to manufacture Tyres, Tubes, Hoses, Calender sheets, etc. Typical inspections of some of the IPOL Aromatic Grades are as follows -

Naphthens are a class of hydrocarbons also referred to as ‘cycloparaffi ns’. Though their structure is similar to the aromatic ring, these are single bonded thus having a stable structure. Several such hydrocarbon rings may be linked indicating a variety of available grades. Their unique colour stability, solubility and good thermal stability makes them ideal for moulded articles, slippers, LPG tubes, fl oor tiles, etc. Typical inspections of some of the IPOL Naphthenic oils are as follows -
