In a communication made directly to Click Petroleum and Gas, Braskem announced that it is developing a technique for hydrocarbon resins that act as additives in the processing of rubber. The project aims to reduce time and costs for the industry. According to the institution, more details will be disclosed at the Expo Center Norte exhibition, which takes place from the 22nd to the 24th of this month. The event will be held in São Paulo (SP) and will feature more participating companies.

Braskem, a leading company in the industrial biopolymer market, announced that it has developed a new resin technology that allows companies to reduce time and costs in rubber processing. The new technology is expected to be announced to the market during the Expo Center Norte, which starts this Wednesday, June 22, and will run until Friday, June 24.

The stand will cover 52m² and its portfolio includes a series of products aimed at improving productivity in the sector while increasing the industry’s competitiveness. The developed products will also be exported to Brazil’s partner countries.

The hydrocarbon resins that will be presented at the event are used in the construction of tires and other products. Rubber artifacts and retreading bands also make use of them, as do hoses and shoes. The discoveries could enter various economic sectors to automate processes.

In addition to time savings, the resins have advantages such as reduced equipment wear during operation. Therefore, they can be considered tachifying agents, which improve flows.

Marlisa Reche, Director of the Olefins and Aromatics area at Braskem, claims that the institution is committed to developing sustainable alternatives for rubber production from start to finish in the supply chain. One example cited by the institution regarding sustainability is Eterno Verde, for the production of elastomers.
