Heat oxidation aging poses a significant threat to the longevity and performance of rubber materials, especially Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR). The use of antioxidants, specifically IPPD (N-Isopropyl-N'-phenyl-pphenylenediamine), offers effective protection against such degradation.
IPPD acts by neutralizing free radicals generated during the thermal oxidation process, thereby significantly reducing the likelihood of oxidative damage. This action enhances the lifecycle and performance of rubber products.
Incorporating IPPD antioxidant into rubber formulations ensures the protection against heat oxidation aging, ultimately leading to improved product longevity and performance. This makes IPPD a vital component in advancing the quality of rubber products in various applications.
