What is PD ISO/TS 16096 about?
PD ISO/TS 16096 defines physical and chemical tests on raw reclaimed isobutene-isoprene (IIR) rubber.
PD ISO/TS 16096 defines standard materials, standard test formulations, equipment, and processing methods for evaluating the vulcanization characteristics and the mechanical properties of reclaimed isobutene-isoprene rubber.
Who is PD ISO/TS 16096 for?
PD ISO/TS 16096 on evaluation procedure for reclaimed isobutene-isoprene (IIR) rubber is applicable to:
- Manufacturers of rubber
- Dealers, distributers and importers of rubber
- Companies involved in rubber recycling
Why should you use PD ISO/TS 16096?
Butyl (isobutene-isoprene) has a high energy absorption (dampening) capacity as well as good hot tear strength. The butyl polymer saturation level determines heat, abrasion, oxygen, ozone, and UV resistance. Butyl, on the other hand, is sensitive to petroleum oil, gasoline, and hydrocarbon solvents.
PD ISO/TS 16096 specifies physical and chemical tests on raw rubber, preparation of test mix for evaluation, vulcanization characteristics, Mooney viscosity and more which allows you to enhance the vulcanization and mechanical properties of isobutene-isoprene rubber.
The test methods described in PD ISO/TS 16096 help you to evaluate the physical properties of reclaimed isobutene- isoprene rubber, thereby ensuring that you incorporate the highest quality rubber material in your products.
