PHOENIX Compounding TechnologyThe specialist for rubber compounds

Division ContiTech of Continental AG

As a material, rubber with its unique properties plays

an inconspicuous but always reliable role in virtually

every area of daily life. Water hoses in the garden, bath

tub mats in the household, gaskets in window frames,

fuel hoses at gas stations, windshield wipers, engine

mounts and naturally, last but not least, tires are just

a small selection of the functional elements produced

using rubber compounds which make our everyday life

safer and more pleasant.

The compounding recipe plays a decisive part in the

properties of these products. A suitable recipe makes

the product capable of fulfi lling the specifi c require-

ments which are steadily increasing in terms of environ-

mental compatibility, setting characteristics, dynamic

mechanical stress as well as resistance to temperature,

weathering and various media.

Phoenix has been successfully involved in the develop-

ment and production of compounds and their process-

ing into varying fi nished products for over 100 years.

Currently, Phoenix Compounding Technology GmbH

has approx. 2000 compounding recipes. Our standard

line includes a variety of different recipes which are

continuously being improved and expanded.

Over many years, an experienced team of chemists

and development engineers has developed a line of

compounds to meet the high requirements of widely

differing standards. Phoenix compounds are produced

as required in many varied delivery forms and adjusted

to the specifi c production process.

Mixing – in state-of-the-art internal mixers

We use state-of-the-art technology to ensure that our

rubber compounds always undergo stringent produc-

tion controls – an important criterion for uniform quality.

Phoenix compounds are used wherever economy is an

absolute prerequisite.

Phoenix rubber compounds contain rubber, fi llers,

plasticizers, anti-aging agents, crosslinking agents,

processing auxiliaries and vulcanization accelerators.

They can be used directly with benefi ts for effi cient,

large-scale industrial production. Phoenix rubber com-

pounds are subject to stringent production controls

using state-of-the-art testing equipment. They offer the

opportunity to produce fi nished rubber products such

as molded, injection-molded and calendered products

from the compounds, especially for manufacturers of

rubber products who do not have their own compound-

ing facilities.

Production

The compounds are grouped together in rubber fam-

ilies for the purposes of optimal production control.

While rolling mills were used almost exclusively for

producing compounds in the past, we generally use

Banbury-type mixers today.

Delivery forms

We deliver rubber compounds in different delivery

forms to match the processing methods used by your

equipment: extrusion, IM, CM, TM, confectioning,

Auma vulcanization.

Optimal storage

Optimal storage is a basic prerequisite for reliable

processing of the compound. Our storage facilities

are temperature-controlled in both summer and win-

ter to ensure ideal conditions for storage of rubber

compounds, including special-purpose materials. Our

warehouses work with transponder-aided computer

systems, ensuring reliable tracking and shipment of the

goods at all times.
