About This Webinar
The extrusion of rubber compounds can be challenging for optimizing formulations and processing conditions as it is a multistep process including mixing, milling, extrusion and curing. Replicating this process on a lab scale is a cost-effective way to improve process on a large scale. This webinar will start by exploring how intermeshing and tangential lab scale mixers impact rubber formulations. It will then show how to fine-tune rubber processing parameters and carbon black fill rates at the lab scale. ASTM D2230 will be used to analyze the extrudate. Included will be demonstrations straight from the Brabender virtual laboratory, demonstrating the capabilities needed to optimize rubber processing.
