15、 of these materials. This“compounding material blend” is prepared by blending a proportional mass of eachmaterial, except carbon black and oil, in a dry powder blender such as a biconicalblender or vee blender.

17、 by adding a proportional mass of oil to a cavityprepared in a proportional mass of carbon black, covering the oil with thesurrounding black and then gently whipping until uniformly blended.
