Application

Polymeric organosilicon filler activator for rubber compounds. Through the use of Kagevest, a substantial enhancement of the reinforcing action of light-coloured filler materials can be achieved. Kagevest is active with both sulphur and peroxides in the cross-linking of compounds containing silicic acid and silicate fillers.

Mechanism of action: Polymeric organosilicon containing reactive trimethoxysilyl groups which react with the surface of light-coloured reinforcing filler materials, while the unsaturated polymer chain is incorporated in the cross-linked structure of the vulcanized rubber.

Technical benefits:

  • substantially reduced vulcanization time

  • reduced elongation set and permanent compression set

  • lower viscosity of green compounds

  • higher tensile strength and modulus as well as tear propagation strength

  • improved abrasion resistance and enhanced properties under dynamic conditions

  • reduced water absorption

    Handling, Storage and Packaging

    If stored in the unopened original container in a dry place, the shelf life of the product is at least one year.

    Standard pack size are drums of 180 kg.
