A helpful tool for sulfur chemical industry at high temperatures.

With the arrival of the hottest period of summer, temperatures are rising higher and higher. Outdoor work is arduous, and indoor work is equally challenging due to the high temperatures! Experts emphasize that high-temperature, high-intensity work greatly increases the risk of occupational heatstroke. Under high temperatures, the body's temperature regulation, water and electrolyte metabolism, circulatory system, nervous system, and digestive system all undergo a series of physiological changes. If the body cannot adapt, causing disruption of normal physiological functions, it can lead to an abnormal rise in body temperature, resulting in heatstroke, and in severe cases, sudden death. Meanwhile, news cases of "high mortality rates from heatstroke" are appearing in the public eye, making it particularly important for companies to plan for safe production during the summer.

The creation of a perfect tire requires a variety of complex processes, with vulcanization being an important one. In the hands of vulcanizing engineers, the raw tire, which was originally just a "rubber band," is finally formed into the tires we see in our daily lives through a vulcanizing machine under high temperature and pressure.

The vulcanization process is the hottest part of tire production. Vulcanizing workers have to work in a constantly high-temperature environment in the workshop. In the hot summer, the vulcanization temperature of each tire can reach 150°C, and the temperature around the vulcanizing machine can usually reach over 40°C. When the tire vulcanization time is over, the steel mold of the vulcanizing machine is slowly raised, and the machine emits wisps of white steam. The on-site operating environment is like a "steamer". Vulcanizing workers run back and forth between the vulcanizing machines to operate the control panel. Before the green tire is vulcanized, they have to stand on the scorching vulcanizing machine to apply vulcanizing release agents such as bladders and molds. By the time they get off the machine, their foreheads are already drenched in sweat, and their backs are soaked with sweat. It is a very hard job.

Fineking's early-developed capsule release agent, SBC-7086, is a water-based semi-permanent capsule release agent specifically designed for capsule operating temperatures between 120 and 230°C. Above 120°C, it forms a protective film with good adhesion on the capsule surface; this film has properties such as high-temperature lubrication, multiple release mechanisms, and wear resistance, and can also protect the capsule and extend its service life.

It has already been put into use in many tire factories in China. It can vulcanize 15-20 tires with one coat. Assuming that the average number of times the capsule is used is 400, using the capsule release agent SBC-7086 only requires 20-30 coats. The labor intensity of workers is significantly reduced compared to the previous one-coat method. In hot environments, the reduction in the number of coats can effectively alleviate the physical discomfort of vulcanizing workers and improve workshop production efficiency.

Using capsule-based protective agents can significantly reduce the labor intensity of workers, decrease the number of times sulfur chemicals need to be coated and the number of times workers need to work on machines. In high-temperature environments, it keeps workers away from the "machine steamer," reducing the risk of burns and injuries. This product is water-based, environmentally friendly, and non-toxic, which can further protect the health of sulfur chemical workers, extend capsule life, improve production efficiency, and reduce overall production costs for enterprises.
