Common Problems Solved with this Solution

Rubber Chunking

Rubber chunking, a phenomenon where rubber unintentionally adheres to the mold during extraction, causing voids in the product and mold residue, is often attributed to adhesives releasing gasses onto the mold surface in rubber-bonding environments. This occurs particularly in injection molding or transfer molding settings when adhesive off-gassing happens in a closed mold. The challenge arises when the rubber-to-rubber bond is weaker than the rubber-to-mold surface bond, leading to chunking issues. To mitigate this problem, a reliable release agent is crucial. An effective release agent helps prevent adhesive transfer to the mold, eliminating staining and resolving chunking concerns in the rubber molding process.
