Rubber Service

What Rubber Service does

Rubber Service SRL is a specialty chemicals manufacturer founded in 1984 in Ciudadela, Buenos Aires, Argentina, serving the rubber processing industry. The company formulates and produces a defined portfolio of rubber additives—dispersing agents, batch-off anti-tack agents, viscosity reducers, non-staining antioxidants, and polymeric plasticizers—used by rubber compounders and downstream tire and rubber goods manufacturers. In parallel with its own manufacturing, Rubber Service acts as a regional distributor for five international chemical brands (Cancarb, Dalton Chemitac, Chenguang, Sundow, and Wynca), effectively broadening its catalog without internal R&D expansion.

The company's go-to-market is direct in Argentina and channeled through third-party distributors Mathiesen (Chile) and Parabor LTDA (Brazil) for cross-border sales, indicating a relatively asset-light regional expansion model. Rubber Service holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications and was the first Argentine firm to install a Rubber Process Analyzer (RPA), acquired in 2010, which supports compound development and customer technical service. The business model blends proprietary formulation manufacturing with distribution margin on imported specialty inputs, targeting B2B customers across the South American tire and industrial rubber value chain with a small team of 11-50 employees.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Rubberserv DA203 Process auxiliary for natural and synthetic rubber blends that produces a strong dispersing effect on fillers and vulcanization system products, applicable in polymers of different polarities, resulting in constant and high values of mechanical properties.
• Maxiflow DF Process auxiliary for natural and synthetic rubber blends that produces a strong dispersing effect on fillers and vulcanization system products, acting as an intermolecular lubricant during process stages and as an internal release agent.
• Rubberserv AT102 Water-dispersable batch off anti-adherent at room temperature, usable in normal and hard water, with very low consumption per ton of compound; composed of metallic salts of high molecular weight fatty acids mixed with film-forming products and dispersing agents, without inorganic fillers.
• Antiadherente P Anti-tack product scattered in water for immersion or smearing treatment of raw rubber blends; composed of metallic salts of high molecular weight fatty acids mixed with film-forming products and dispersing agents, excluding inorganic fillers.
• Antiadherente Líquido Pre-scattered anti-tack material allowing rapid dilution to use concentration by adding to water at room temperature and homogenizing with slight shake; designed for companies without equipment for proper dispersion of Antiadherente P.
• Rubberserv MF401 Processing aid for natural and synthetic rubber compounds (excluding chloroprenes) with significant viscosity reduction effect, enhancing filler dispersion for homogeneous compounds and consistent batch-to-batch properties; improves extrusion, injection, and transfer molding without affecting vulcanization times.
• Maxiflow RS Process auxiliary for natural and synthetic rubber blends (except chloroprene) containing zinc salts of fatty acids with strong viscosity reducer and maximum creep effect; acts as a dispersing agent for active and inactive fillers, reduces mixing time, and activates vulcanization.
• Maxiflow SP Elaboration auxiliary for chloroprenes, S.B.R., E.P.D.M., polyethylenes, chlorosulfonates, epichlorohydrin, polyacrylics, and butylic mixtures; contains calcium salts of fatty acids as a strong viscosity reducer with anti-scorch properties, increases crystallization resistance in chloroprene, and prevents polymers from sticking to cylinders and rotors.
• Nomanox L Non-staining antioxidant for natural and synthetic rubbers and their latexes, plastics such as polyethylenes, polypropylenes, hot melts, adhesives, and similar products.
• Nomanox P Non-staining antioxidant for natural and synthetic rubbers and their latexes, plastics such as polyethylenes and polypropylenes; composed of a mixture of styrenated phenols on an inert material in easy-to-handle powder form.
• Plastificante PA Low volatility, low extraction plasticizer suitable for polar elastomers such as acrylonitriles, mixtures of nitriles and PVC, chloroprene, and hypalon; ideal for compounds subject to high temperatures with very low extraction by solvents, alcohols, and water.
• Maxiflex P3 High-molecular-weight polymeric plasticizer used as primary plasticizer in PVC compounds with very low extractability in contact with aliphatic hydrocarbons, vegetable and mineral oils, soaped solutions, naphthas, alcohols, and detergents.
• Maxiflow MX Synthetic resinous plasticizer, polarities and viscosities compatibilizer and homogenizer for rubbers; acts in rubber mixtures with different chemical structures and viscosities to notably increase compatibility and improve final vulcanization and processing characteristics.
