With the wide application of rubber products in various industries, thermal oxidative aging has become an important factor affecting rubber performance. According to statistics, more than 30% of rubber products have degraded performance due to aging, which directly affects product quality and service life.
First of all, adding antioxidants is an effective means to prevent rubber aging. Antioxidants can significantly delay the thermal oxidation process of rubber. Research shows that adding an appropriate amount of antioxidants can extend the service life of rubber products by more than 50%.
Secondly, companies should optimize the production process and reduce the thermal stress of rubber during the manufacturing process by controlling temperature and pressure. Scientists have found that reducing the production temperature by 1°C can reduce the aging rate of rubber by 5%.
In addition, regular testing of the physical properties of rubber products is also a key measure. Enterprises should conduct necessary quality monitoring of products to detect signs of aging in a timely manner so as to take effective preventive measures.
Through the above methods, we can effectively extend the service life of rubber products, enhance the overall competitiveness of the product, and promote the sustainable development of the enterprise. Preventing thermal oxidative aging of rubber is particularly important in the market competition in the new era.
