New Technologies for Volcanization of Elastomeric Compositions

Abstract

The current stage of scientific and technological progress is largely determined by the creation of an effective energy-saving and environmentally friendly technology for producing composite polymer and elastomeric materials with improved performance properties. Among the various composite elastomeric materials, rubberized fabrics, conveyor belts, which are in great demand in construction, mining and a number of other sectors of the national economy, are of particular importance. The main, final stage of the production of the above types of rubber products is the vulcanization process, on which the properties of the resulting composite elastomeric materials depend. In the general problem of vulcanization of composite elastomeric materials, great importance is attached to the creation of an energy-saving and environmentally friendly technology that ensures a decrease in the emission of toxic exhaust gases into the atmosphere and eliminates the danger of premature vulcanization at the stages of mixing, storage and processing.
