Product Description

Rhenofit® EDMA/S is based on ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDMA) and acts as a highly efficient co-agent for peroxide vulcanization. Its difunctional methacrylate structure significantly increases crosslink density, resulting in improved hardness, abrasion resistance, and heat-aging performance.

Compared to simply increasing peroxide dosage, EDMA enables more efficient crosslinking without compromising processing safety. The non-dusting, silica-bound powder ensures clean handling and uniform dispersion during mixing.

Compatible with a wide range of elastomers, including highly loaded light and dark compounds based on EPDM, EPM, NBR, HNBR, NR, SBR, CR, CM, CSM, FKM, FEPM, and VMQ, Rhenofit® EDMA/S is the ideal choice for demanding technical applications.

THESE SPECIAL FEATURES MAKE RHENOFIT® EDMA/S SO SUCCESSFUL

· Higher Crosslink Density – More efficient than increasing peroxide levels

· Enhanced Mechanical Properties – Hardness, resilience, and abrasion resistance

· Broad Compatibility – Suitable for saturated and unsaturated elastomers

· Clean Processing – low-dust powder for safe handling and uniform dispersion
