Compound & Process Development

• Target Setting-Target setting is based on the reverse engineering data of the benchmark and in the absence of benchmark, depending upon the product application the target is set.
• Design of recipe-Based on the composition analysis of the benchmark or application condition of the product.
• Compound mixing-Establishment of mix procedures to get consistency and to meet the final product requirements.
• Sample preparation & testing-Compound property requirements are to be checked after proper sample preparations and molding.
• Analysis of results-The compound properties are compared with the target values, in case of any deviations from the target values, necessary changes are made in the above steps until the specifications match.
• Submission of final report-The final reports are submitted within the stipulated time period within which the project duration was agreed upon.

Compound mixing & sample preparation

• Banbury-1.6 litre banbury with variable RPM capable of mixing the compounds to give you the best possible dispersion.

• Curing presses- Samples can be cured to the required dimensions as required by the standards for checking the rebound resilience, abrasion resistance, heat build-up and many other tests.

• General testing facilities-The tests as mentioned in the physical testing department can be performed which ever are required by the particular compound.

Advanced testing facilities

• Extrusion study by Haake Rheomix.
• Variable temperature cure (VTC) analysis using Rubber Process Analyser (RPA).
• Stress relaxation study by creep and stress relaxation tester.
• Wear, traction & rolling resistance by LAT100.
• Crack growth analysis by Tear and Fatigue Analyser.
• Silica dispersion of the compounds by the SEM analysis.
• High temperature tensile properties by UTM.
• Dynamic mechanical properties at different strain, frequency & temperature by the DMA.
