Latex reclaimed rubber processed from waste natural rubber and waste latex products can directly replace natural rubber to produce various rubber products to achieve the dual purpose of ensuring quality and reducing costs. Rubber flooring is one of them. The performance characteristics of reclaimed latex rubber are basically the same as those of natural rubber, and the price is much lower than that of natural rubber. It is an ideal raw material for the production of cost-effective rubber flooring. So in actual production, can all reclaimed latex rubber be used to produce rubber flooring? What problems should be paid attention to during use?
1. Tips for selecting latex reclaimed rubber
Rubber flooring is generally used in homes, factories, various public places and sports and fitness occasions, and has high requirements on the elasticity, resilience, and waterproofness of raw materials; rubber flooring directly contacts people during use, so it is environmentally friendly to the raw materials used There are strict requirements for sex and tastelessness. When choosing the latex reclaimed rubber for rubber flooring, the latex reclaimed rubber must meet the requirements of high rubber content, good elasticity, no irritating odor, no heavy metals and other harmful components to ensure the comfort and safety of the rubber floor during use.
2. Latex floor formulation design skills
When using natural latex reclaimed rubber as raw material to produce rubber flooring, rubber products manufacturers can use white latex, clay, high styrene, rubber oil, vulcanizing agent, a small amount of urea formaldehyde 2LLYY92, etc. according to actual needs; use latex reclaimed rubber to produce colored rubber flooring It is also necessary to add a certain proportion of rubber coloring agent; foaming agent cannot be separated from the production formula of latex reclaimed rubber foamed rubber floor, among which foaming agent H is one of the commonly used foaming agents.
It should be noted that since rubber flooring has strict requirements for environmental performance, when adjusting the variety and amount of compounding agents, it is necessary to avoid the use of polluting compounding agents, and avoid the use of compounding agents that generate harmful gases during the production process. , To ensure the safety of the rubber floor. In actual production, rubber floor processing companies also need to control the type and amount of compounding agents according to the color of the floor. For example, it is best to use white clay in the white latex reclaimed rubber floor.
3. Cost analysis of latex floor
At present, the reclaimed latex rubber on the market can be divided into white latex reclaimed rubber, black natural latex reclaimed rubber, and various colored latex reclaimed rubbers, such as red latex reclaimed rubber and green latex reclaimed rubber. From the price point of view, the price of white latex reclaimed rubber with the same index is higher than that of black latex reclaimed rubber. When using reclaimed latex rubber to produce black or dark-colored rubber floors, it is more advantageous for manufacturers to choose reclaimed black latex rubber in terms of cost.
When using natural rubber to produce light white and colored rubber flooring, it is necessary to select the appropriate reclaimed latex rubber based on factors such as the index requirements of the rubber floor, the cost of colorants, and the price of reclaimed latex rubber. If you need high-priced colorants to modulate light-colored rubber floors, the editor recommends using white latex reclaimed rubber directly to reduce the amount of colorants to avoid the problem of discoloration and migration during storage and use of rubber floors; when reclaimed latex rubber produces colored rubber floors, It is better to choose the product with the closest color to the rubber floor under the premise that all indicators meet the performance requirements.
Reasonable use of reclaimed latex rubber to reduce the cost of raw materials for rubber flooring can not only alleviate the shortage of rubber resources in my country, but also solve the problem of part of the waste rubber treatment, which has multiple economic and environmental benefits. Later, the editor will continue to share with you the problems and techniques that need to be paid attention to in the process of producing rubber flooring from latex reclaimed rubber.
