In the vast field of materials science, powder rubber is gradually becoming a shining star in the high-end manufacturing industry with its unique form and excellent performance. This innovative technology that transforms traditional block rubber into tiny particles not only overturns the traditional application of rubber materials, but also brings unprecedented changes and opportunities to the high-end manufacturing industry.

1、 Preparation process of powdered rubber

The preparation of powdered rubber mainly depends on three core methods: mechanical crushing, spray drying and co coagulation. These methods each have their own advantages and together form a solid foundation for the production of powder rubber.

Mechanical crushing method: using mechanical equipment to crush block rubber into powder with a particle size of about 1mm. This method is simple and direct, and is suitable for large-scale production.

Spray drying method: spray latex containing isolating agent or compounding agent into the drying room through the spray nozzle, and form powder deposit after rapid evaporation of water. The particle size of the prepared powdered rubber can be less than 0.1mm, with extremely high fineness.

Co coagulation method: A suspension is formed by mixing water-soluble starch, xanthate, and other substances with rubber latex to produce co coagulation under specific conditions. After filtration, drying, and grinding, powdered rubber is obtained. This method can precisely control the particle size and properties of powdered rubber.

2、 The unique advantages of powder rubber

Compared with block or sheet rubber, powder rubber exhibits many unique advantages in the high-end manufacturing field:

Improved processing efficiency: Powder rubber eliminates the cutting process of rubber processing, reducing equipment investment and maintenance costs. Meanwhile, its good fluidity makes automatic weighing and batching more convenient, significantly reducing mixing time and improving production efficiency.

Optimization of processing performance: Powder rubber has good dispersibility, which can reduce heat generation during processing, eliminate scorching phenomenon, and thus improve processing performance. In addition, raw rubber does not require plasticizing or batch mixing, and can be directly added for extrusion and molding, making the operation more convenient.

Product quality improvement: Powder rubber is mixed in a closed system, effectively improving the working environment and operating conditions. At the same time, its fine particle size significantly improves the uniformity and consistency of rubber products, thereby enhancing product quality.

Environmental protection and energy conservation: The production process of powdered rubber reduces the generation of waste and pollutants, which meets the requirements of modern industry for environmental protection and energy conservation. In addition, certain environmentally friendly powder rubbers such as environmentally friendly powder styrene butadiene rubber can also meet the environmental protection needs of specific fields.

3、 Application of Powder Rubber in High end Manufacturing

Powder rubber has been widely used in high-end manufacturing due to its unique advantages:

Rubber product manufacturing: Powder rubber is particularly suitable for manufacturing injection and extrusion products of rubber, such as rubber hoses, tapes, rubber plates, cable sheaths, and molded products (shock absorbers, brake components). These products have broad application prospects in fields such as automobiles, aerospace, electronics, and electrical appliances.

Plastic modification: Powder rubber can also be used as a resin modifier, such as the blend of powder nitrile rubber modified polyvinyl chloride, which can be used to make shoe soles and other products. It has both elasticity and good oil resistance, weather resistance, and wear resistance.

Adhesive: Powder rubber has also shown great potential in the field of adhesives, and can be used to prepare high-performance adhesive products.

4、 Future prospects

With the continuous advancement of technology and the rapid development of high-end manufacturing industry, the application prospects of powder rubber will be even broader. In the future, powder rubber is expected to achieve breakthroughs and innovations in more fields, bringing more surprises and changes to the high-end manufacturing industry. Meanwhile, with the continuous improvement of environmental protection and energy-saving requirements, the research and application of environmentally friendly powder rubber will also become an important trend in the future.

In summary, powder rubber has shown great potential and value as a new type of material in the high-end manufacturing field. Its unique preparation process and excellent performance advantages have made it widely used in various fields such as rubber product manufacturing, plastic modification, adhesives, etc. In the future, with the continuous advancement of technology and the expansion of the market, powder rubber will play a more important role in the high-end manufacturing field.
