FLEXIAID™ · Multi-functional rubber additive

Scorched rubber isn’t scrap.
It’s inventory.

One compound that works as process aid, de-crystallizer, de-scorcher and cold de-vulcanizing agent, helping recover compound that would otherwise be thrown away.

About aFlex Additives

A rubber additive supplier in Houston, TX.

FLEXIAID is a rubber compound additive and processing aid for scorched rubber compound recovery, aged rubber compound additive use, and off-grade rubber compound recovery. It also works as an anti-scorching agent in rubber compounding.

The economics

You’re storing four chemicals and scrapping the batches they fail to save.

FLEXIAID can collapse the ingredient stack and help turn write-offs back into usable output.

The problem

Too many chemicals, too much scrap.

  • Storage and handling of plasticizers, retarders, dry-flow chemicals and process aids
  • Scorched rubber: compound cost, inventory carry and disposal cost
  • Shelf-aged compounds losing flow and failing spec
  • Rejected parts and flashes with no recovery path

The solution

One multi-functional compound.

  • Helps restore and extend compound life
  • Can reduce or replace some peptizers, plasticizers, retarders and processing aids
  • Trial on your own compound to confirm results

The result

Potentially lower cost per batch.

  • Potential reduction in raw material and disposal costs
  • Less scrap and better yield per batch
  • TSCA & REACH documentation available on request

Where it goes in

The parts you already make, with less scrap behind them.

Molded goods, extruded profiles, hose and precision seals. FLEXIAID improves the compound and helps recover batches that went off-spec.

Molded

Gaskets & flange seals

Compression and transfer molded goods, where scorch in the mix means a whole batch of rejects.

Molded rubber gaskets

Extruded

Extruded profiles

Continuous lines where flow, surface quality and dimensional stability decide the yield.

Extruded rubber profiles and seals

Hose

Industrial hose

Reinforced hose compounds that must stay processable through long, hot production runs.

Coiled black industrial rubber hose

Precision

O-rings & oil seals

Tight-tolerance parts in NBR, FKM and ACM where aging and dimensional change are the failure mode.

Why multi-functional

One compound. Four jobs, at the same time.

FLEXIAID works as a process aid, de-crystallizer, de-scorcher and de-vulcanizing agent. One product can take the place of several separate line items on your bill of materials.

01

Reduces chemical dependency

Can replace or reduce plasticizers, retarders, dry-flow chemicals and general process aids.

02

Scrap recovery

Scorched rubber that would be scrapped can be reclaimed for use. Cuts inventory carry and disposal cost.

03

Restores shelf-aged compound

Rubber with deteriorating properties can be restored, saving compound that would otherwise be written off.

04

Improves aging

Aims to reduce hardening, cracking, loss of elasticity, color change, loss of strength and dimensional change.

05

TGA performance

Thermogravimetric results are available on request to support compound stability and heat resistance claims.

06

Safety data

TSCA & REACH documentation and the safety data sheet are available on request.

07

Cold de-vulcanization

No heat required for the cold mix process. Ambient processing can reduce energy use.

08

Wide rubber range

Listed for NR, SBR, NBR, EPDM, CR, IIR, FKM, silicone, reclaim and off-grade compounds. Confirm on your own compound.
