Vulcanization system nitrile butadiene rubber mainly uses sulfur and sulfur-containing compounds as curing agents, but also can be vulcanized with peroxide or resin. As most nitrile-butadiene rubber products require small compression permanent deformation, low-sulfur and sulfur-containing compounds are often used, and sulfur-containing compounds (sulfur-free vulcanization system) or peroxides are used as curing agents. Sulfur accelerator system is the most widely used curing system of nitrile butadiene rubber. Sulfur can be used either sulfur powder or insoluble sulfur. As the solubility of sulfur in nitrile-butadiene rubber is lower than that of natural rubber, attention should be paid to controlling the amount of sulfur. With the increase of the amount of sulfur, the tensile stress and hardness increased, and the heat resistance decreased, but the oil resistance increased slightly and the cold resistance changed little. General soft rubber because the unsaturation of nitrile butadiene rubber is lower than that of natural rubber, the amount of sulfur needed can be less, generally 1.5 phr, vulcanization accelerator can be slightly more than natural rubber, commonly used 1 phr 3.5 phr. The optimum amount of sulfur for soft vulcanizate of nitrile rubber is about 1.5 phr. The amount of sulfur required for nitrile-butadiene rubber with different acrylonitrile content is not the same. When the content of acrylonitrile is high and the relative content of butadiene is low, the amount of sulfur required can be reduced due to the reduction of unsaturation. For example, butyronitrile-18, sulfur 1.75 phr, butyronitrile-26, 1.5 phr and 1.75 phr, have good comprehensive properties. The combination of low sulfur can improve the heat resistance of vulcanizate, reduce the compression permanent deformation and improve other properties, so nitrile butadiene rubber often adopts low sulfur (less than 0.5 phr of sulfur) and high accelerating curing system.

Rubber processing aids (RPA) are a set of products designed to help manufacturers with increasing quality, efficiency, and safety of their rubber production process. RPA have become increasingly important in recent years as manufacturers strive to improve their production standards.

The Power of Processing Aids for Harnessing Rubber Rubber has been a versatile and useful material for centuries, and today it is used in countless different applications. It is durable, resistant to weathering, and able to absorb vibration. But in

Polymer materials, because of their excellent properties such as light weight, high strength, temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, are now widely used in many fields, such as high-end manufacturing, electronic information, transportation, building energy saving, aerospace, national defense and military industry. Played a huge role.
It is not only an important basic industry of the national economy, but also a national leading industry.
Polymer materials have always been a development field that developed countries and multinational corporations attach great importance to.
This not only provides a broad market space for the polymer new material industry, but also puts forward higher requirements for its quality performance, reliability level, guarantee ability and so on, and aging is an important factor affecting the reliability and durability of polymer materials.

Processing can be a headache-inducing and time consuming task. Thankfully, today, there is an efficient and cost-effective solution: rubber aides. Let's look at why and how rubber aides can help ease processing headaches. What are Rubber Aides? Rubber aides are
