Compounding.


Three rubber compounding guides are said to assist the compounder/formulator in making the correct decision when choosing a process aid for a compound. Typically, processing aids are used in compounds to assist in solving issues in the processing and molding of rubber. Improvements in flow, dispersion dispersion, in chemistry
dispersion, in chemistry, mixture in which fine particles of one substance are scattered throughout another substance. A dispersion is classed as a suspension, colloid, or solution.

One that fills, as:
a. Something added to augment weight or size or fill space.

b. A composition, especially a semisolid that hardens on drying, used to fill pores, cracks, or holes in wood, plaster,
 levels and mold mold, name for certain multicellular organisms of the various classes of the kingdom Fungi, characteristically having bodies composed of a cottony mycelium. The colors of molds are caused by the spores, which are borne on the mycelium.  release are said to be just some of the benefits from choosing and using the correct processing additive additive

In foods, any of various chemical substances added to produce desirable effects. Additives include such substances as artificial or natural colourings and flavourings; stabilizers, emulsifiers, and thickeners; preservatives and humectants (moisture-retainers); and
. "Rubber Processing Additives" is said to be a fast and easy reference for the compounder to quickly decide on the correct additive for a polymer. "Processing Additive Recommendations for Polymers" is an in-depth study of several polymers that were tested using several of the company's additives at varying levels. Test data are presented in chart format for each evaluation done using typical rubber test procedures. "Rubber Handbook
