Our Rubber Additive Range

Engineered solutions for every stage of rubber processing

Moisture Control for EPDM Rubber

VirdiOX™ eliminates moisture in rubber compounds, preventing bubbles, porosity, and defects during curing. This ensures stronger, more reliable EPDM products and improved processing stability.

Available formats include powder, granule, and masterbatch, giving compounders flexibility for different mixing environments.

Cure Additive & Activator
VirdiOH™ is a microfine calcium hydroxide additive designed to enhance curing performance in FKM and fluoroelastomer compounds. It improves dispersion, neutralises acids and delivers reliable curing for demanding applications.

Commonly used in:

  • Automotive seals and hoses
  • EV components
  • High-performance sealing systems
  • Gas, water and nuclear industries
Cure Stabiliser for EPDM

VirdiSet™ stabilises compression set in EPDM rubber, particularly in high humidity or filler-rich environments.

Used alongside VirdiOX™, it offsets the effects of higher calcium oxide levels used for moisture control while maintaining compound performance.

Ideal for demanding rubber applications where durability and dimensional stability are critical.

Lubrication & Release Aid

VirdiWax™ is a powdered compound used during rubber compounding, moulding, and extrusion.

It improves processing efficiency while enhancing the performance and finish of rubber products.

Key benefits include:

  • Reduced friction during processing
  • Improved mould release
  • Protection against oxidation
  • Enhanced product longevity
Flow Enhancer & Release Agent

VirdiJel™ is a high-grade petrolatum jelly used to improve the flow and processing of rubber compounds.

It helps prevent sticking, improves mould release, and supports smoother production during moulding and extrusion.

Reliable and stable, it supports consistent processing and efficient manufacturing.
