BENEFITS OF DURAZONE
IN RUBBER COMPOUNDING
Can be used in colored compounds where
discoloration is a problem
Low softening point makes DURAZONE 37
usable in single pass mixing operations
No harmful effects on shelf life of mixed
compound
For Non-
tire
producers:
Protects the original appearance of tires from
unwanted changes due to surface bloom in
sidewall and other visible components
Can be combined with Naugard Q for synergistic
impact on resistance to oxidation and ozonation
Equal or improved ozone resistance when
compared to 6PPD
Can be used in sidewall compounds in contact
with white labeling or striping with no
problematic staining
For Tire
producers:

2013 Addivant
High Molecular Weight: Will be stable in the rubber matrix. Volatilization is not
a problem in most rubber compounds.
Non-Discoloring : Can be used in light colored compounds without the
problems associated with staining or discoloring of traditional antiozonants.
Can be Combined with Other Antidegradants: Can be combined with other
antidegradants that offer other unique properties such as NAUGARD Q or
OCTAMINE to give a protection package to resist oxidation and ozone attack.
These synergistic blends are often very cost effective means to protect a rubber
compound.
No Impact on Rubber Compound Physical Properties: Has been used with a
variety of elastomer types (NR, SBR, NBR, CR, BR, etc) with minimal or no
negative effect on physical properties such as hardness, tensile and elongation.

Relationship of tan delta to temperature change
equal for DURAZONE 37 and 6PPD.
Tan delta is an indicator for rolling resistance properties in tire tread
compounds. Lower tan delta would indicate improved rolling
resistance.

WORKER SAFETY CONCERNS
In addition to the low migration tendencies
of DURAZONE 37 when fully
incorporated into a rubber compound,
DURAZONE 37 is quite low for volatility
in normal rubber processing conditions.
In normal mixing, milling, extrusion,
molding and calendaring operations, there
should be minimal to no worker exposure
to vaporized DURAZONE 37.
