Special chemicals – Moisture absorbents
These are chemicals with particular effects, relating either to the manufacturing process or the function of the product. This group comprises: These promote the formation of bonds between different polymer layers between e.g. inner- and outer-tube materials in hoses.

Specialty chemicals – Blowing agents
These are chemicals with particular effects, relating either to the manufacturing process or the function of the product. This group comprises: Blowing agents. These decompose at elevated temperatures during gas evolution, as include carbon dioxide, nitrogen, bicarbonate, and ammonia. They are used in the manufacturing of cell and foam rubber/plastic. The recommended dosage is 2–8 […]
Antidegradants
This is a collective name for additives that counteract the degradation of polymers as a result of heat, sunlight, flexing, ozone, copper, etc. Antidegradants can be roughly divided into two main groups: Amine-based agents result in discoloration, but as a rule provide excellent protection against both thermo-oxidative aging and other degradation mechanisms, such as ozone […]
Accelerators
Accelerators control how quickly a rubber material begins to vulcanize and how the vulcanization process proceeds after the initial stage. It is generally the case that several accelerators are added to the rubber blend. Some of these have primary effects and others have secondary effects; the latter often affect the former via reaction synergism. Standard […]
