SUPRMIX Powder Liquid Dispersions Reduces Emissions for Rubber Compounders

An environmental impact study by The HallStar Company demonstrates that replacing conventional liquid additives with SUPRMIX powder liquid dispersions in rubber compounding is a simple way for rubber-mixing facilities to reduce carbon emissions, improve mix cycle times, and reduce energy costs.

The HallStar study compares the cycle times of liquid plasticizers and SUPRMIX dry dispersions. The results are significant. The mix cycle time of the SUPRMIX formulation was 27 percent lower than the traditional formulation. Energy consumption was reduced by more than 16 percent. These figures add up to real savings in energy costs and in carbon footprint.

"The cycle time advantages of using SUPRMIX dispersions with two-roll mill mixing are well known in the rubber mixing industry," said Jeff Beckman, Business Manager, HallStar. "But the 'green' picture is also very important."

The "American Power Act," climate-change legislation introduced by the U.S. Senate in April 2010, aims to reduce U.S. emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases 17 percent from their 2005 levels by 2020. Therefore it is important for industry to find ways to reduce their carbon footprints.
