Cancarb Limited has published a Tensile Strength Distribution Technical Bulletin that shows how formulating nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) with Thermax® N990 improves dispersion quality and supports potential cost reductions. The study compared nine materials, including two Thermax® medium thermal carbon black materials, and used tensile strength distribution instead of optical instruments to evaluate dispersion quality.
The Alpha Technologies AT10™ is a CE certified universal tensile tester for rubber, plastics, and additional materials. A table-top model with a maximum load value of 10kN, the AT10 performs tension, compression, peel, tear, adhesion, O-ring and other tests for quality control and R&D applications.
