Bio-based
Cargill™ Agri-Pure™ extender oils are an effective alternative to traditional petroleum based ingredients.
Improved rubber performance
Agri-Pure extender oils help ensure uniform distribution of fillers within rubber compounds and can enable increased filler content.
Reduced exposure to PAHs
Agri-Pure extender oils can be substituted for products containing Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), known as non-desirable impurities in the rubber industry.
Cargill solutions for rubber manufacturing
Agri-Pure extender oils for rubbers help improve rubber processing, facilitating efficient rubber production. Due to their viscosity-reducing properties, extender oils facilitate easier mixing of rubber compounds to create homogeneity while streamlining manufacturing.
Cargill™ Pristerine™ 4963 non-palm stearic acid, derived from renewable resources, functions as a process aid to facilitate the rubber production process and as a crosslinking agent during vulcanization to improve rubber durability
Cargill™ lecithin products provide several important functions in rubber manufacturing, acting as plasticizers to increase the flexibility of rubber and also as dispersants to ensure ingredients are evenly distributed for consistent quality.
