COMPOUND FORMULATION

Prior to the “Banbury” or compound mixing comes the compound formulation.



The two major compounds in the rubber compound are the rubber and the filler, each


having its own functionality. The mixing of these raw materials and their proportions and


nature is determined by the purpose for which the compound is made. It may be for


superior rolling resistance or better grip on both dry and wet roads. The properties of the


mix can be changed by selecting one or more types of rubber and filler and their grades


and proportions in which they have to be present.
