The Mixing of Rubber

Developed in conjunction with the Farrel Corp/CT Rubber Group course, this text on the mixing of rubber aims to educate the hands-on compounder and the end user as well. It covers machinery, mixing, process control, quality control, plant operations, and mixing advice for specific compounds. Illustrations focus on recipes. Like the course, the book assumes no prior knowledge of rubber compounding but leads the technologist through the process from mix procedure to test. This book should be of interest to factory chemists, formulators technologists and compounders, materials suppliers and quality control personnel, additives and modifiers manufacturers, and rubber recyclers.
