Compounding

As developers and producers of a wide range of rubber products, we consistently prove that perfection and diversity are not vague con­cepts for Böttcher. In order to meet the highest technical standards for all kinds of roller coverings, it is essential to ensure that compound quality is constant and always precisely reproducible. Compound components and formulations differ depending upon specific roller applications.

Ingredients and processing times are always adapted to precisely match the specific requirements of our customers. That is the responsibility of our subsidiary in Grafschaft-Gelsdorf, the largest rubber mixing plant of its kind in Europe. Here, Böttcher Gelsdorf produces ultra-fine rubber compounds that leave the plant in the form of slabs, strips or calendered rolls. They are used as raw materials in the production of our own rollers or as high-quality food- and medical- grade compounds in food processing or medical technology. Every year, Böttcher develops and tests several thousand different rubber formulations in order to exploit the unique properties of this versatile material in a wide range of unique properties.
