#RubberScience Naphthenic oils give the most balanced range of properties to the rubber regarding processability, staining, low temperature and aging resistance. They are often used when environmental considerations restrict the use of aromatics.

#RubberScience The curative within a rubber formulation is the ingredient that forms the cross-links between adjacent rubber molecules. By far the most common curative to be used by the rubber industry is sulfur.

#RubberScience Vulcanisation forms a stable three-dimensional network of polymer molecules by attaching adjacent molecules to each other through the formation of cross-links. Sulfur is the most commonly used cross-linking agent employed in rubber compounds.

#RubberScience When blending different polymers, aim for similar viscosities to avoid a lumpy “pea soup” effect. Poor compatibility can result in uncured phases within vulcanised products, which may lead to delamination and failure.

#RubberFact
Each rubber particle in natural latex is a fully formed molecule of polyisoprene, coated with a thin layer of protein that keeps it separated from adjacent particles, allowing it to remain in suspension

#RubberScience ‘Plasticity’ is a rubber’s ability to flow (the ability of the polymer molecules to slide over each other). ‘Elasticity’ is its ability to recover from deforming loads & reform back to its original shape.
