Vulcanization; Vulcanization
Formation of a three-dimensional molecular network by thermally activated reactions of chemical agents previously introduced into an elastomer during mixing operations.
Vulcanization system; vulcanization system
A set of chemical agents for the controlled vulcanization of rubber to give it the desired mechanical properties. There are two main types of vulcanization system: sulfur-based and peroxide-based. Sulfur vulcanization systems typically comprise 3 elements: sulfur, activator (ZnO + stearic acid) and one or more gas pedals (sulfenamide, carbamate, thiazole, thiuram, etc.). Peroxide vulcanization systems comprise a peroxide and an activator.
Formulation; formulation
Rubber formulation comprises five main elements: the elastomer (NR,...
