In the process of storage and use of rubber, affect by the environment and human forces, the performance and appearance of rubber changes with time, which is the phenomenon of aging. So what causes rubber to age? There are mainly 7 factors as followed: 1.Oxygen: free radical chain reaction will occur between oxygen and molecules of rubber when molecular chains fracture or over cross linked, which ...
There are many kinds of rubber products, but the production process is basically the same. The basic technological process of rubber products with general solid rubber as raw material includes six basic processes: plasticizing, mixing, calendering, pressing, forming and vulcanizing. Of course, raw material preparation, finishing, inspection and packaging and other basic processes are also necessar...
Raw rubber is elastic and lacks the plasticity necessary for processing, so it is not easy to process. In order to improve its plasticity, it is necessary to plasticize the raw rubber, so that the coordination agent can be easily dispersed in the raw rubber in mixing process. Meanwhile, in the rolling and forming process, it is also helpful to improve the permeability of the rubber into the fabric...
In order to adapt to different conditions of use and obtain different properties, and to improve the performance of rubber products and reduce the cost, different additives must be added into the raw rubber.Rubber mixing and refining is a process in which the plasticized raw adhesive is mixed with the binder and put in the mixer to make the binder completely and uniformly dispersed in the raw adhe...
The process of converting plastic rubber to elastic rubber is called vulcanization. It is to add a certain curing agent such as sulfur, curing accelerator and so on into the semi-finished products made of raw rubber. In the vulcanization tank in the specified temperature heating, heat preservation of the raw glue between the linear molecules linked to each other into a three-dimensional network st...
No matter what rubber products, they have to go through the two processes of mixing and vulcanization. For many rubber products, such as rubber hose, rubber tape, tires, etc., it is necessary to go through the two processes of calendering and pressing. For the raw glue with high Mooney viscosity, plastication is needed. Therefore, the most basic and important processing process in rubber pro...
