Custom Compounders

     
  Rubber compounding, including latex compounding, requires large scale (or specialized in the case of latex) mixing machinery, especially if the process is to be accomplished within an economic time-scale. Furthermore, savings can be made through the bulk purchase of items like carbon black and accelerators for vulcanization. Thus some companies have emerged which specialize in rubber (latex) compounding and supply compounded rubber (or precompounded latex) to small and medium-sized companies. Within large corporations certain plants may specialize in supplying compounded rubber to factory units which lack such facilities, or minimize them.
