HXNBR COATING FOR IMPROVING AGING RESISTANCE OF NATURAL RUBBER PRODUCTS

摘要

HXNBR (Hydrogenated Carboxylated Nitrile Rubber) has very good heat ageing resistance and oil resistance. A novel accelerator system is designed to bring about the vulcanization of HXNBR at room temperature. The room temperature cured samples showed good mechanical properties equivalent to those of high (150℃) temperature cured samples. Natural rubber vulcanizates are highly prone to oxidative and ozone degradation. The oil resistance of natural rubber vulcanizates is also very low. The oil resistance, ozone and oxidative degradation resistance of natural rubber vulcanizates are considerably improved by placing a thin coating of HXNBR over it.
