  • Lower Total Energy of Mixing

  • Enhanced Flow Under Shear

  • Lower Drop Temperature

  • Reduced Mold Fouling

  • Crosslinking of Polymer

  • Enhanced Physical Properties

  • Shorter Molding Time

  • Better Surface Smoothness

  • "I developed a 0.3 density sponge compound that met the physical requirements, but had flow issues. By adding 8 phr of Spherix 15 to the compound, the flow improved and the sponge skin became smooth."
