The vulcanization process is a cornerstone of rubber engineering, involving the cross-linking of polymer chains to enhance elasticity, durability and resistance to chemical degradation. Recent ...

Rubber is a natural substance deriving from trees, but to get it into its useful form, treatment in the form of a process called vulcanization must occur. Vulcanization cures rubber via the method of ...

(MENAFN- ForPressRelease) 13 Cologne – The specialty chemicals company LANXESS has developed a universally suitable vulcanization accelerator for tires and technical rubber goods. The trial product VP ...

The vulcanization of rubber was one of the great industrial discoveries of the technologically busy 19th century. By vulcanization, the gooey substance from trees was made, as Charles Slack writes in ...

Liquid silicone rubber is a prime candidate as a replacement for other elastomers such as polyisoprene. LSR has until now not been used in the manufacture of rubber syringe tips or stoppers. One of ...

Rubber is made from the latex (milk of the Evergreen Forest tree). It is an elastomer, a polymer which regains its original shape and possesses high elasticity. It is a tough polymer which has high ...

Rubber! It starts out as a goopy material harvested from special trees, and is then processed into a resilient, flexible material used for innumerable important purposes. In the vast majority of ...
