Hainan Rubber Group Co., Ltd. announced that its nano-clay natural rubber preparation and application technology has been verified by China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation.
The “10,000-ton nano-clay natural rubber industrialization” program was jointly developed by Hainan Rubber and Beijing University of Chemical Technology.
The program introduced the nano-layered clay in the procedure of natural rubber processing.
Without changing existing production equipment, the technology improved wear resistance and cut resistance of natural rubber. It extends the lifecycle of tires applying such technology by 20%.
The high-performance rubber material can be used in navy-related facilities, said Xue Qunji, academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering.
Hainan Rubber is also developing new technologies appropriate to other high-end rubbers with BUCT.
