| ARTIS present at Adhesion '11
Understanding the interactions between rubber compounds and mould tools is an important
factor in developing efficient moulding processes. Specialised rheological equipment is used
to measure bulk and boundary layer properties in order to understand processing behaviour
and can also be used to evaluate rubber to metal interactions during cure by measuring the
forces required to break the bonds formed during the cure reaction. This data shows that the
nature of the mould surface has a large influence on demoulding and mould fouling, while
even slight differences in rubber composition can have profound effects on processing
characteristics | |
