properties of elastomers, BrüggemannChemical is underlining
its outstanding R&D competence as an additive manufacturer
to the rubber industry. A key role here is played by the tailor-
made, application-oriented optimization and synthesis of zinc-
based activators for the crosslinkage of different rubber types,
for in-house developments and on the customer's behalf.
With newly developed additives, BrüggemannChemical
is creating opportunities for performance-enhancing
innovations with polyamide compounds,
cast polyamides and rubber compounds
lower energy consumption, the possibility of more complex
design geometries etc.
- The nucleating agent BRÜGGOLEN® TP-P1401, which can be
processed at elevated temperatures, enables short cycle times
and supports the formation of a morphology with very small,
homogeneously distributed spherulites. This improves the me-
chanical properties and significantly enhances the surface ap-
pearance of reinforced polyamides.
- BRÜGGOLEN® TP-M1417 brings about a controlled shorte-
ning of molecule chains of high-viscosity polyamide scrap, e.g.
from fiber production. While retaining mechanical properties,
this additive allows defined and reproducible adjustment of
target viscosities and thus the upcycling into material for in-
jection molding applications with flow properties and mecha-
nical performance comparable to that of virgin material.
New developments for AP-NYLON® cast polyamides
- BRÜGGOLEN® TP-C1608 is a new heat stabilizer that raises the
long-term service temperature of PA parts to 150 °C as compa-
red to the 120 °C that was previously regarded as the limit.
- BRÜGGOLEN® TP-C 1312 is a new impact modifier for the
production of AP-NYLON®
products containing 3 to 20 % of elastomer. In terms of cost
and performance, these polymers create the bridge between
unmodified cast polyamides and the highly impact-resistant
NYRIM® PA6 block copolymers.
- BRÜGGOLEN® C25 is a new retarding activator for AP-
NYLON®. It slows down the polymerization process in a much
more controlled manner than was previously possible and thus
facilitates the production of parts with large dimensions and/or
small wall thicknesses as well as the production of high-qua-
lity composites. Furthermore, it offers the possibility during
product development of filling parts slowly in order to be able
to optimize processes.
Rubber: New activators and a fully equipped Technical Center
With a new generation of activators and its own fully equip-
ped Technical Center, the Industrial Chemicals division of
BrüggemannChemical presents itself as a highly competent
partner for the rubber industry:
- With the active zinc oxide (ZnO) PRO range, which is produ-
ced in a wet chemical process, BrüggemannChemical enables
the direct substitution of conventional thermal zinc oxide. This
product series combines the latest findings in the field of rub-
ber formulation while simultaneously reducing costs and heavy
metal content without having to make any compromises in
terms of performance. ZnO Pro is suitable for the whole range
of application of rubber products, from technical parts and
consumer articles to tires.
- With the opening of its new fully equipped Technical Center
for determining the processing, vulcanizing and performance
