The Impact of Antioxidants on Extending the Service Life of Tires and Rubber Products
Rubber products and tires are continuously exposed to oxygen, heat, ozone, ultraviolet radiation, and mechanical stress, all of which accelerate aging and degradation. Rubber antioxidants play a critical role in protecting polymer chains from oxidative damage, preserving mechanical properties, and significantly extending product service life. This article explores the mechanisms of rubber aging, antioxidant technologies, and their impact on tire and rubber durability.
Coumarone
Coumarone resin is a dark thermoplastic resin used to enhance tack, flexibility, and bonding in rubber compounds, coatings, and industrial adhesives
Ultrasil
ULTRASIL is a high-performance precipitated silica filler that enhances mechanical strength, grip, and durability in rubber and plastic applications.
PVI
PVI is a pre-vulcanization inhibitor that improves scorch safety in rubber processing, extending compound shelf life and ensuring optimal curing control.
SMR
SMR is a technically graded natural rubber from Malaysia, widely used in tire, footwear, and molded rubber product manufacturing.
