Advantages of SILDEC

• Our high quality SILDEC can be used as an additive to rubber compound or as a substitute to virgin rubber
• It can be used in rubber compound in the range of 5% upto 70% (depending on the application)
• Cost of the finished rubber product comes down considerably as the usage of virgin rubber is lowered.
