{{id}} {{{paragraph}}}
1 Vulcanization & Accelerators Vulcanization is a cross linking process in which individual molecules of rubber (polymer) are converted into a three dimensional network of interconnected (polymer) chains through chemical cross links(of sulfur). The Vulcanization process was discovered in 1839 and the individuals responsible for this discovery were Charles Goodyear in USA and Thomas Hancock in England. Both discovered the use of Sulfur and White Lead as a Vulcanization system for Natural Rubber.
accelerators, Polysulphide polymers, pQuinonedioximes, Metallic Oxides, Organic Peroxides, Di- -isocyanates, etc. (mostly for specialized applications). In the case of fully saturated elastomers organic peroxides are often used for cross linking. ... However, this advantage is lost in the case of hot air cured products.
