Fengxian, China (Nov 5th , 2019) - allnex, a leading supplier of specialty chemicals, offering a broad range of coating resins, additives and crosslinkers for use on wood, metal, rubber, plastic and other surfaces, announces the launch of a new rubber laboratory in Fengxian, China.

Opened in late June 2019, the lab is equipped with ALPHA, NETZSCH(GABO) and GOTECH equipment according to the standards of major tire manufacturers. With this advanced equipment, the site will be able to test rubber processability parameters, physics properties, adhesion properties as well as dynamic mechanical properties both before and after aging.
