| For economical processing of rubber.
 
 Improve the process characteristics of uncured rubber compounds 
                  and can also enhance the physical properties of the vulcanized 
                  rubber article. In addition to their general processing improvement 
                  capabilities, processing promoters are specifically used as 
                  dispersing and lubricating agents. In addition, they can also 
                  assist in mastication and polymer homogenization.This product 
                  line also includes special resins which are important ingredients 
                  for building tack or higher shore hardness.
 
 Processing promoters are rubber which make possible or ease 
                  the processing of a rubber compound.  The processing procedure 
                  includes the whole flow process, that is, from the mixing preparation 
                  to the finished rubber article.
 
 The Rhein-Chemie processing promoters are products with specific 
                  characteristics for the individual processing stages.  Only 
                  with the use of these promoters can efficient time and energy-saving 
                  processing of rubber achieved.
