Can the use of fillers reduce the cost of rubber products?

The amount of rubber filler in the production of rubber products accounts for 10%-50% of the total weight. Increasing the amount of rubber filler can effectively reduce the cost of raw materials. Commonly used rubber fillers for rubber products include calcium carbonate, talcum powder, clay, mica powder, etc., which can effectively reduce the volume cost of the product; for example, the use of calcium carbonate can increase the volume of rubber products and reduce the amount of expensive raw rubber. But in actual production, are there no side effects when using rubber fillers? Can the cost of all rubber products really be reduced?

1. Problems to be considered when using rubber packing

(1) When using rubber fillers to reduce the cost of products, it is necessary to consider the pricing method of rubber products. In general, the use of high-density rubber fillers in the formulation of quality-priced rubber products can reduce costs; the cost of adding low-density rubber fillers to rubber products that are priced according to the number of pieces is lower.

(2) When using rubber fillers to reduce product costs, the qualification rate of rubber products needs to be considered. In actual production, a large number of rubber fillers will lead to a decline in the pass rate of rubber products.

(3) When using rubber fillers to reduce the cost of products, the process cost of rubber products needs to be considered. The production cost of rubber products includes not only the raw material cost, but also the process cost. In actual production, the rubber product 2YLYY49 with a smaller amount of filler has faster vulcanization speed and faster rubber fluidity; a large number of rubber fillers will cause the rubber to prolong the vulcanization time and increase the cost of rubber mixing. Therefore, when the amount of rubber filler is small, although the cost of raw materials cannot be significantly reduced, it can effectively reduce the cost of rubber mixing and vulcanization, and can also improve economic benefits.

2. Which rubber products are suitable for using rubber fillers

In actual production, middle and low-grade rubber products can reduce the cost of raw materials by increasing the amount of rubber filler. When reducing the production cost of high-end rubber products and large-scale rubber products, the qualification rate and process cost of the products should be mainly considered. Do not use a large amount of rubber fillers at the expense of the physical properties of rubber products.

The use of fillers in rubber products can reduce the cost of product raw materials, but it may not necessarily reduce production costs. Rubber product manufacturers need to select appropriate rubber fillers according to actual needs, reasonably control the amount of fillers, and use surface-modified activated calcium carbonate and other products when necessary to improve the effect of rubber fillers and rubber, and further improve the processing technology of rubber products Performance, increase production efficiency, and reduce total cost. In the production of rubber products, reclaimed rubber can also be used in an appropriate amount, and we will continue to discuss later.
