Wanfeng Light Active Magnesium Oxide for Rubber Applications

Release time:2025-11-27 Visits:0

Wanfeng Light Active Magnesium Oxide is produced from high-purity magnesite through a controlled low-temperature activation process. The product features high activity, fine particle size, large specific surface area, low bulk density, and excellent dispersibility, making it a highly effective functional additive for various rubber compounds.


1. Key Functions & Advantages

• Accelerates vulcanization

Active MgO regulates the acidity of the vulcanization system and neutralizes acidic by-products, enabling a faster and more stable curing process.

• Improves heat resistance & aging performance

MgO captures acidic substances generated during vulcanization, minimizing polymer chain degradation and significantly enhancing heat resistance, weatherability, and aging stability of rubber products.

• Enhances dimensional stability

It helps reduce porosity, shrinkage, and deformation during vulcanization, ensuring better shape retention and surface quality.

• Strengthens mechanical properties

Appropriate addition of MgO improves:

  • Tensile strength

  • Elastic recovery

  • Tear resistance

  • Compression set performance

• Essential for Fluoroelastomers (FKM)

Magnesium oxide is a critical component in FKM curing systems. Used together with CaO, it enhances:

  • Crosslinking density

  • Compression set

  • Chemical resistance

  • High-temperature durability


2. Suitable Rubber Systems

Wanfeng Light Active MgO is widely used in:

  • Fluoroelastomer (FKM)

  • Chloroprene rubber (CR)

  • Nitrile rubber (NBR)

  • Natural rubber (NR)

  • SBR, EPDM and other synthetic rubbers

  • Acid-acceptor systems for special elastomers


3. Recommended Dosage

  • General rubber compounds: 2–10 phr

  • FKM formulations: 10–15 phr, depending on the system
