Description :
Bio-sourced ingredients derived mainly from edible vegetable oils, factices are often vital auxiliaries for obtaining optimal quality rubber.

Not only factice considerably improves the surface appearance of the finished parts during the injection, compression, extrusion and calendaring processes, but it also confers exceptional dimensional stability that cannot be obtained with any other additive family.

It is an irreplaceable ingredient for a large number of applications:
- Flexible or special profiles
- Printing rollers: unique ink transfer quality
- Rolled flexible sheets: high surface strength and quality
- Seals: increased resistance to solvents

A factice can replace most additives, "process aids", homogenisers and other protectors against the ageings in dynamic wear, UV, O2 and O3.

In conclusion, for improving performances in surface quality, chemical resistance, ageing, as well as the physical and dynamic strength of NBRs, NRs, SBRs, EPDMs, Butyls and other Polychloroprenes, it is essential that this wide variety of bio-sourced additives, which are unaffected by REACH and non-extractable, are used in these rubberised matrices.
