Evaluation and Application of Anti-Blooming Agent R-668 in Rubber Products
31/01/2025
Rubber is everywhere. It’s in tires, shoes, and even your phone case. It plays a big role in many industries. But here’s the catch – rubber products sometimes face a problem. Chemicals in rubber can move to the surface. This can cause discoloration or defects. It makes things look bad and lowers their quality. Now, there’s a solution: Anti-Blooming Agent R-668. So, what’s this all about? It’s a special substance that helps prevent those chemicals from migrating to the surface. It keeps the rubber looking better for longer and helps improve product quality. Sounds important, right? Let’s dive deeper into how it works and why it’s a game-changer.

Understanding the Blooming Issue in Rubber Products
What is Blooming?
Blooming happens when chemicals in rubber move to the surface. This migration occurs because some ingredients in rubber are not fully stable. As time passes, they rise up to the top. These chemicals then form a visible layer on the surface. This layer can cause discoloration. It can also make the surface feel sticky or rough. This process is often called “blooming.”
Challenges it Poses in the Rubber Industry
Blooming creates many problems. First, it affects the look of rubber products. When discoloration happens, products look old and unattractive. This is especially a concern for items like shoes, seals, or car tires where appearance matters. Second, blooming can impact the rubber’s performance. Chemicals on the surface can reduce the material’s grip, making it less effective. Lastly, blooming can also hurt the product’s durability. It can weaken the rubber over time, making it less long-lasting.
What is Anti-Blooming Agent R-668?
Composition and Chemical Properties of R-668
Anti-Blooming Agent R-668 is a special chemical. It is designed to stop the chemicals in rubber from migrating to the surface. This agent works by binding to the chemicals inside the rubber, making them stay where they belong. This helps to keep the surface clean and clear of any unwanted residues. R-668 is made from simple and stable ingredients that are effective in preventing blooming.
General Mechanism of How the Agent Works
R-668 works by sticking to the chemicals that tend to migrate to the surface. It keeps these chemicals locked inside the rubber. By doing so, it prevents them from moving upward and forming that unwanted surface layer. This means the rubber stays cleaner, looks better, and lasts longer.
Functions and Characteristics of Chembroad Anti-blooming Agent R-668
Composition of Anti-blooming Agent R-668
Anti-blooming agent R-668 is made from a mixture of diene derivatives and high polymerization mixed alcohol esters. These components work together to improve rubber’s performance. The diene derivatives help with coating small molecules in the rubber. The alcohol esters help adsorb these small molecules. This combination stops small molecules from moving to the surface.
How R-668 Works
R-668 helps to prevent problems like frost spraying, color spraying, and blue spraying in rubber. These issues happen when small molecules in the rubber rise to the surface and cause unwanted changes. The agent prevents this by stopping the small molecules from separating from the rubber. This keeps the surface clean and clear.
The diene derivatives in R-668 coat small molecules in rubber. The high degree of polymerization mixed alcohol esters adsorb these molecules. Together, they keep small molecules from precipitating or rising to the surface. This prevents problems like color spraying and frost spraying. The agent works by adsorbing and encapsulating the small molecules.
Effects on Rubber’s Performance
Chembroad R-668 has a positive effect on rubber’s appearance and performance. It prevents the surface from darkening, especially in newly vulcanized or bright rubber products. It helps maintain long-lasting brightness. The agent also improves the oil resistance of rubbers, like NBR, HNBR, and CR. This makes the rubber more durable and resistant to wear and tear.
Anti-blooming agent R-668 can also address issues in rubber storage. It prevents frost spraying in odorless DCP. The product works best when added in the right amounts. Different rubber formulas need different dosages to avoid spraying problems.

Applications of Anti-Blooming Agent R-668 in Rubber Products
Types of Rubber Products that Benefit Most
Anti-blooming agent R-668 is useful for many rubber products. It is especially helpful for automotive parts, footwear, and medical products. These products often need to look clean and perform well for a long time. Rubber types such as EPDM, NR, SBR, BR, NBR, CR, and AEM can all benefit from our R-668. It works well in these rubbers by preventing blooming and improving their appearance and durability.
Industries Adopting R-668
R-668 is being used in several industries. The automotive industry is one of the largest users. It helps improve the quality of rubber parts like tires, seals, and gaskets. The consumer goods industry also uses it for products like shoes and household items. In addition, the medical device industry benefits from using R-668 to ensure rubber products are clean and safe.
Practical Examples
Many companies have successfully used our R-668 in their production. For example, some automotive manufacturers add R-668 to rubber seals to prevent discoloration. Footwear makers use it to keep shoes looking fresh and free of defects. Medical device manufacturers also use the agent in rubber parts to avoid surface problems. These companies have reported better quality and longer-lasting products after adding R-668 to their formulas.
