Overview of the importance of rubber anti-aging

Rubber products are widely used in daily life and industrial production. However, rubber materials will gradually age during use, resulting in performance degradation and shortened lifespan. The application of rubber anti-aging technology can effectively extend the service life of rubber products and improve their stability and reliability.

Causes of rubber aging

Rubber aging is mainly caused by environmental factors and usage conditions. Common rubber aging factors include ultraviolet radiation, oxygen, ozone, high temperature, humidity and chemical substances. These factors can cause rubber molecular chain breakage, cross-linking, crystallization and other phenomena, thus affecting the mechanical properties and appearance quality of the rubber.

The principle of rubber anti-aging technology

Rubber anti-aging technology mainly improves the anti-aging performance of rubber products by adding antioxidants, ultraviolet absorbers and anti-aging agents. Antioxidants can capture free radicals in rubber molecules and prevent oxidation reactions; ultraviolet absorbers can absorb ultraviolet radiation to prevent rubber materials from being damaged by radiation; anti-aging agents can react with oxygen or ozone to form stable compounds, thereby protecting rubber materials.

Application of rubber anti-aging technology

Rubber anti-aging technology is widely used in the production and processing of various rubber products. For example, automobile tires, conveyor belts, seals and cable sheaths all need to add anti-aging agents to improve their service life and performance. Different types of rubber products need to select appropriate anti-aging agents and additive formulas according to the specific use environment to achieve the best anti-aging effect.

The development prospects of rubber anti-aging technology

With the advancement of science and technology and the increase in market demand, rubber anti-aging technology has been continuously innovated and developed. In the future, with the development of new anti-aging agents and the application of advanced production processes, the anti-aging performance of rubber products will be further improved, providing better rubber material solutions for all walks of life.
