Cellulose Nano Fiber (CNF) AronFibro Rubber Masterbatch
AronFibro MB is a rubber masterbatch which capitalizes on the easy dispersiveness of our CNF. It is possible to achieve both elasticity and breaking strength while maintaining rubber-like properties. It contains 20 phr of CNF. It is also characterized as being easy to handle because it maintains good CNF dispersiveness even with rubber dilution.

Function
Barrier and protection
High strength
Abrasion resistance
Features
- This is a masterbatch of CNF obtained with our unique manufacturing method combined with rubber in a high concentration.
- We make it by mixing and drying the CNF aqueous dispersion and rubber latex (Fig. 1).
- The carboxy group in CNF is the sodium salt form (-COONa).
- It disperses well in rubber. Therefore, it is possible to increase the Young’s modulus while maintaining the inverted-S-shaped stress—strain curve unique to rubber (Fig. 2-1 and 2-2).
- It is possible to raise the abrasion resistance by adding it to rubber (Fig. 3-1 and 3-2).
