We previously reported results of using N-Nanbrol in XNBR roller compounds. The 50% reduction in abrasion loss is a value you, and your customer can capture.
If a drive roller lasts twice as long, you would expect to pay near double the price. Even at that cost, your customer saves money in downtime if the new rollers are tuned correctly.
And as a compounder, you can increase your margin enough to sweeten the deal by selling at less than twice the price. Yes, the value we create by making longer lasting rubber is shared throughout the supply chain to the end user.
Benefits of longer life rollers:
- Can be tuned to wear similarly to other rollers in the machine.
- Can allow for less downtime over the course of the year.
- More efficiency = lower costs, or
- More efficiency = more production.
- Wear rates beyond the reach of XNBR.
