Rangsis Unveils New Elastomer Prepolymer Material

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] Global specialty chemicals company LANXESS is introducing a new thermosetting elastomer material suitable for high-performance rollers and wheel treads.

On the 1st, LANXESS announced the launch of 'Adiprene PP1095H,' a thermosetting elastomer prepolymer material.

As demand for elastomers with high load-bearing capacity increases across various industries?such as forklift wheels, guide rollers for high-rise and industrial elevators, agricultural machinery, and roller coaster rollers?LANXESS has developed a customized thermosetting elastomer prepolymer system and curing agents to meet this demand.

Adiprene PP1095H is especially optimized for high-performance wheels and rollers that must operate quickly under high mechanical stress.

Adiprene PP1095H features a lower loss rate of energy converted to heat under variable loads compared to conventional materials, enabling excellent dynamic properties across a wide temperature range. Additionally, because it generates less heat even under frequent and rapid deformation, it prevents overheating during continuous use. When applied to forklift wheels, it reduces rolling resistance, thereby lowering energy consumption.

Thanks to these characteristics, when applied to roller and wheel systems, it can simultaneously satisfy fast travel speeds and high load capacities, allowing various vehicles and transportation systems, as well as elevators, to operate faster and more efficiently.

Through this, LANXESS provides significantly higher performance prediction accuracy across diverse industrial sectors and offers professional services to help customers select products optimized for rollers and wheel treads according to their needs.
