Repex® and Extensoil® are two wide ranges of mineral oils mainly used in the rubber industry.
There are paraffin oils for use in non-polar rubbers and aromatic oils for polar rubbers.
They are mixed with the rubber in order to lower the viscosity of the mixture and to give it plastic properties. As such, the rubber is more easily worked with.
There is also a new range of non-labelled aromatic oils, through both TDAE and MES technology, which make it possible to manufacture mixtures with polar rubbers without losing properties and with the maximum toxicology assurances as per prevailing legislation.
