The core of the 36-meter extrusion line is a 19-meter salt bath. At the start of the production line, two mobile extruders ...

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 ...

The rubber vulcanization process involved with making shoes can be smelly and inefficient. Vulcanization with sulfur requires high temperatures, long heating periods–and that nasty chemical smell. So ...

Why should vulcanization accelerators be used? After more than 100 years of development, the world rubber industry has become an important traditional industry in many developed countries. However, ...

Sulfur crosslinking was discovered by Charles Goodyear and Thomas Hancock more than 150 years ago and led to the development of a new material science application—rubber. Since the first discovery of ...
