COMPRESSION SET RESISTANCE IN SILICONE RUBBERS

Abstract

It is common practice in silicone rubber technology to give rubber articles a long high temperature post cure in air in order to achieve maximum resistance to compression set. It is proposed that this is necessary to destroy hydroperoxide groups established in the rubber during vulcanization. Systems are described in which maximum resistance to compression set can be achieved without post cure.
