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...
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...
With the increase of room temperature vulcanization materials and the appearance of high temperature vulcanization, the vulcanization temperature tends to two extremes. From the improvement of curing efficiency, it should be considered that the higher the curing temperature, the better. But in fact we can not infinitely increase the curing temperature. Rubber is a high polymer, high temperature wi...
Silicone rubber polymer molecule is composed of Si-O bond into a chain structure, its main composition is high molar mass linear polysiloxane. Because of the Si-O-Si bond is the basic type, what the silicon atom connects is methyl. There is very small amount of unsaturated side chain groups and small molecular inter-atomic forces, and molecular spiraling structure with methyl arranged outwards can...
