OREANDA-NEWS. November 07, 2011. On “Omsky Kauchuk” a new scheme of work is implemented which allows to make non-emulsive injection of oil into latex during the production of oil-filled grades of rubber, reported the press-centre of Titan.

The scheme was installed in the period from July to September and connected in the period of shutdown maintenance of this year. The work of the scheme is maintained by special-purpose pumps allowing to injection of oil directly into latex. Before the implementation of the new scheme the preparation of oil emulsion required purchase of costly feedstock – stearic acid and potassium alkali. Now the process of rubber production became more economical, and costs of the scheme implementation will be repaid in the nearest future.  The quality of commercial rubber at the same time will remain invariably high.

Non-emulsive injection of oil into latex was a rationalization proposal of three employees of the plant. The scheme design was performed by research and development department of the enterprise.
