Rubber products play an important role in modern industry and daily life. However, rubber materials face multiple challenges such as oxidation, thermal aging, and mechanical wear during use, which can lead to product performance degradation or even failure. In order to extend the service life of rubber products, rubber anti-degradants have emerged.
Rubber anti-degradation agents can be divided into many types, including antioxidants, light stabilizers, heat stabilizers, antiozonants, etc. Antioxidants mainly prevent oxidative aging by blocking the reaction between oxygen molecules and rubber molecules; light stabilizers delay the light aging process of rubber by absorbing harmful ultraviolet rays; heat stabilizers effectively resist thermal aging caused by high temperatures; and antiozonants prevent ozone aging by preventing the reaction between ozone and the rubber surface.
The anti-aging mechanism of rubber anti-degradants is mainly manifested in several aspects:
In a rubber tire manufacturing company, by adding a suitable proportion of rubber anti-degradation agent, the service life of the product was successfully increased by 30%. Not only did it improve the durability of the product, but it also enhanced the product competitiveness in the market. This successful case illustrates the importance of rubber anti-degradation agents in industrial applications.
Specific strategies for using rubber antidegradants to improve product quality and competitiveness include the following:
The application of rubber anti-degradants plays an important role in extending the life of rubber products, improving product quality and enhancing market competitiveness. By scientifically and rationally selecting and using anti-degradants, companies can effectively deal with the aging problem of rubber products and achieve sustainable development goals.
