Comparative Study on Effect of Natural and Synthetic Antioxidants on Curing Characteristic and Properties of Different Natural Rubber Origin Compounds

Article Preview

Abstract:

Effect of natural and synthetic antioxidants on curing characteristic and properties of different natural rubber (NR) origin compounds were performed in this study. The evaluations of natural antioxidant (NA) performance in different NR origins were conducted and the changes in curing characteristic, crosslink density, fatigue life and compression set were recorded. The results indicated that Standard Thailand Rubber (STR) compound has longer processing time in curing characteristic due to a longer chain which is high molecular weight. Because of that, crosslink density, fatigue life cycle (Kc) and compression set (%) of STR compound show better result compared to other origins. On the other hand, NR compounds with NA have show better fatigue and compression set compared with trimethylquinoline (TMQ) especially for STR 5L. Thus, NA can be used as an alternative to the commercial antioxidant in all rubber compounds.
