Activating Value
With over two decades of experience in manufacturing an entire
spectrum of Zinc Oxides, Rubamin now presents Acti.Z - the High
Surface Area Active Zinc Oxide specially developed for rubber
industry. Acti.Z is an effective accelerator activator suitable for
articles based on all type of rubbers, elastomers and latex.
Acti.Z is fast gaining popularity due to its physio-chemical properties
and its cost to performance ratio. Increasing concentrations of Acti.Z
yield faster onset of cure. Further, Acti.Z reduces dosage levels
significantly as compared to other regular Zinc Oxides and achieves
satisfactory activation under normal usage conditions while ensuring
similar or even improved physical properties of the end products.
It allows space in the compound for addition of value-added
preparations for improving rubber performance. In case of
transparent products, higher dosage of regular Zinc Oxide imparts
translucency to the products due to differences in refractive indices.
This necessitates usage of low dosage Zinc Oxide with higher activity
such as Acti.Z

Acti.Z Advantage
The following specific properties make this speciality oxide highly
effective for curing all types of rubber compounds including latex.

Acti.Z is delivered with surface area of upto 60 m /gm

Acti.Z is characterized by very low Heavy Metal impurities due
to their selective chemical removal in its manufacturing process
Acti.Z disperses well into the rubber matrix resulting into a
significant fall in the cure time while causing little change in the
scorch time and in turn improving the productivity
Acti.Z improves mechanical properties of vulcanizates such as
modulus, tear resistance and resistance to abrasion
Acti.Z causes no change in odour, taste or color of vulcanizates
and does not bloom
Acti.Z significantly reduces consumption as compared to
conventional Zinc Oxides
Acti.Z provides good dimensional stability and thermal
conductivity due to its ability to increase viscosity of compounds

Chemical Precipitation Process

Acti.Z is a direct result of Rubamins constant investment into
research and development and early identification of market
trends. The Hydro Metallurgy process for manufacturing Acti.Z has
been developed in-house by Rubamin Technology Centre. The
special chemical precipitation process and controlled thermal
treatment makes Acti.Z a superior quality, reliable, consistent and
