Engineered Elastomer Composites
Our pre-mixed composite solutions help you unlock superior performance – sustainably and economically.
Enabled by proprietary process technology, market-leading reinforcement agents and leading formulations know-how, E2C® solutions enable rubber compounders to break performance tradeoffs and are formulated for specific applications, eliminating the need for costly and time-consuming evaluation of specific fillers and allowing design times to move straight into final compound optimization.
The E2C® solutions family includes three performance series:
- Durability Series – Products designed to reduce in-field failures, extend tire/compound life in the harshest environments and maximize operational uptime
- Efficiency Series – Products designed for cool-running rubber compounds without other performance compromises
- Foundation Series – Products designed to deliver multidimensional performance in a variety of applications
E2C Benefits
Performance
Structurally different from compounds produced by conventional methods, E2C® solutions offer superior levels of filler dispersion.
When properly compounded using Cabot’s Light Touch™ mixing guidelines, E2C® solutions enable dramatic improvements in rubber properties such as 20% lower hysteresis, 25% higher reinforcement, delayed crack initiation and 70% slower crack growth.
Sustainability
E2C® solutions extend product lifetimes and help manufactures reduce the raw material and energy consumed during the manufacturing process.
Products made with E2C solutions last 15-30% longer than products made with a conventional compound and offer greater energy efficiency.
Economics
E2C® solutions can be integrated into current product methods without additional capital investment, and require fewer mixing stages, lower mixing temperatures and shorter mixing cycles than conventional products.
E2C® solutions require 50% less mixing time than conventional products, reducing the energy consumed in the manufacturing process and lowering manufacturers’ energy cost.
