Our Rubber Additive Range
Engineered solutions for every stage of rubber processing
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.
Commonly used in:
- Automotive seals and hoses
- EV components
- High-performance sealing systems
- Gas, water and nuclear industries
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.
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
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.
