  • Why is rubber vulcanized?
  • These vulcanizing agents (usually sulfur or peroxide) are necessary to facilitate chemical crosslinking of polymeric chains. Once the rubber has been vulcanized or “cured”, physical properties are enhanced and the compound is more resistant to deterioration.
  • Why do polymeric chains react with vulcanizing agents?
  • The long, flexible polymeric chains of rubber, when heated, react with vulcanizing agents to form three-dimensional structures. These vulcanizing agents (usually sulfur or peroxide) are necessary to facilitate chemical crosslinking of polymeric chains.
  • Which vulcanizing agent is used to promote crosslinking?
  • Sulfur is one of the most widely used vulcanizing agents to promote crosslinking which is used in conjunction with accelerators and accelerator activators to reduce cure times and enhance physical properties. Carbon black is one of the most common fillers because it reinforces the molecular structure.
