  Rubber
(ultradiamond50)
Product
Improvements
(compared to
 conventional fillers) 		Reduce
Attrition (wear), as much as 3 - 5 times
Deformation and cracking in extension, as much as 45%
Tearing, as much as 30%
Rupture, as much as 20%
Temperature degradation, as much as 15%

Manufacturing
Improvements
(compared to
 conventional fillers) 		Reduce
Milling problems (crumbling, bubbling, sticking to rolls)
Power required, as a result of viscosity reduction
Adhesion to extrusion dies, making separation easier
Applications Types of rubber
Non-polar
Polar
(The two types have different molecular structures.)

Seals
Gaskets
Packing glands
Diaphragms

Tires
Mechanism
(How ultradiamond50 works) 		Alters polymer structure
Functional chemical groups on surface of ultradiamond50 adsorb rubber molecules
Procedures
(In manufacturing) 		Use with conventional carbon fillers
