Actifine®, a functionalised micronized rubber powder produced from recycled tyres, can significantly enhance the flex fatigue resistance of natural and synthetic rubbers by acting as a reinforcing additive.
Flex fatigue resistance is the ability of a material to withstand repeated bending, stretching, or twisting without cracking or breaking. It is a crucial property for applications where rubber and elastomer materials are subjected to cyclic loadings, such as tyres or machinery components. In these applications, flex fatigue can lead to premature failure.
Actifine® is a versatile reinforcement that can extend the service life of your rubber and elastomer products in a wide range of use cases, including:
- Tyres
- V-belts
- Springs
- Vibration dampers
- Conveyor belts
This means that your products will last longer, perform better, and require less maintenance and replacement. This will also save you money and improve customer satisfaction.
Another benefit of using Actifine® is that it helps you reduce your natural rubber consumption. Natural rubber is a valuable and scarce resource that is produced in plantations that are often cleared by deforestation. Deforestation contributes to biodiversity loss, soil erosion, climate change, and social conflicts. By using less natural rubber and more recycled rubber, you can reduce your carbon footprint and support sustainable development.
