Rubber Accelerators Robac SRM102, a New Safe and Effective Replacement for ETU in Polychloroprene Abstract Polychloroprene rubber (CR) is used in a diverse range of applications from automotive (hoses, belts and windscreen wiper blades), engineering (bridge and...

Rubber Accelerators SRM102, a New Safe Accelerator for Curing Polychloroprene Abstract This paper discusses the process of designing SRM102, a new safe and effective accelerator for polychloroprene rubber (CR). To assist in the design of SRM102, the mechanism by...

Rubber Accelerators A Study of Low Temperature Rubber Curing Accelerators Abstract Current production processes in the rubber industry lean towards greater productivity and faster throughput times using shorter cure cycles at higher curing temperature. This...

Rubber Accelerators Reversible Addition–fragmentation Chain Transfer Polymerization of 2-Chloro-1,3-butadiene Abstract Controlled polymerization of 2-chloro-1,3-butadiene using reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization has...

Rubber Accelerators Physico-Chemical Behaviour of Safer Accelerators in Deproteinized Natural Rubber Latex Abstract Natural rubber latex is commonly used in a wide range of industrial applications due to its excellent elastomeric, mechanical and barrier...

Rubber Accelerators Influence of Accelerators on the Structure, Properties and Processing of Synthetic Polyisoprene Latex Abstract Synthetic polyisoprene polymer is made up of the same monomer unit 'isoprene' as in natural rubber. This material has been...
