Abstract: The objective of the invention is to create a drilling jig for a profile sealing strand, as well as a method for producing a hole, an application head of a profile sealing strand application device, and a system for applying a profile sealing strand, each incorporating the drilling jig according to the invention as a subassembly, which enables the production of holes in the profile sealing strand directly, as needed, and without significant delay in the application process. Drilling jig for a profile sealing strand, characterized in a drilling unit is provided and that at least one guiding device is provided, through which the profile sealing strand can be guided in its longitudinal extension, wherein the guiding device is rotatable with the profile sealing strand relative to the drilling unit around a longitudinal axis of the longitudinal extension of the profile sealing strand, and that the guiding device comprises a rotational angle positioning device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a rubber composition with enhanced curing and adhesion properties, comprising the following ingredients: R1—an elastomer or rubber E which is preferably a diene-based elastomer, R2—a particulate active filler which is preferably carbon black, or silica, or a combination of both, R3—a cobalt free curing or crosslinking or vulcanising system which includes sulphur, an active zinc composition ZnX having a specific surface area of from 10 m2/g to 100 m2/g, and accelerators, R4—a novolak composition NC which is a mixture of a novolak resin PA and a urethane-aldehyde resin UA?, and R5—a methylene donor, to a process to cure these rubber compositions, and to a method of use of these rubber compositions in engineered rubber products selected from the group consisting of hoses, pressure hoses, conveyor belts, gaskets, and tyres.

Abstract: The invention relates to a rubber composition comprising a rubber and a processing additive wherein the processing additive is a functional reactive diluent having at least one functional group in the molecule which is not an olefinic unsaturation, to a process of compounding such rubber compositions, and to the use thereof.
