Comparison of Rubber Curing Systems - Peroxide-Coagent vs Sulfur-Accelerator in Polyisoprene (IR)

摘要

Previously, sulfur-accelerator and peroxide-coagent cure systems had their own domains of applications. Now with the discovery of a new solid functional coagent-peroxide system, the two can be used interchangeably with regard to original physical properties. In addition to the joint synergy between the two systems, the peroxide-coagent system offers much improved aging characteristics, greatly enhanced flex properties, excellent compression set, and much improved adhesion to various metals and fabrics, when compared to classic sulfur cured systems.
