Controlling mixing costs while maintaining quality is paramount to custom mixers and compounders. SureMix® is an innovative solution that can help them achieve these goals without capital investments. SureMix®, a functional process aid, dramatically reduces viscosity with minimal impact on hardness or modulus; this sets SureMix® apart from conventional process aids. Figure 1 illustrates the Mooney Viscosity benefits of SureMix®. Depending on the loading of SureMix®, compounders can eliminate 1 or 2 mixing passes, freeing up more than 35% of mixing capacity, Figure 2.
Figures 3 and 4 illustrate the energy and greenhouse gas (GHG) benefits from eliminating mixing passes. For 18,000 MT of compound, energy consumption reduces by 500 to 1,000 MWH. This energy reduction also reduces CO2 emissions by 225 to 500 MT. An added benefit is that SureMix® is produced using 100% biobased hydrocarbons.
