Extruded Rubber Terms
– A substance that quickens the pace
of vulcanization and lowers the operating temperature required during
the process.
– Term for the bond
between a rubber surface and a non-rubber surface.
– Vulcanizing
a rubber product in the air instead of in a press or steam vulcanizer.
– Crevices that form on rubber surfaces due
to exposure to environmental conditions, such as temperature extremes
and precipitation.
– The
amount of force the atmosphere exerts upon the earth’s surface,
measuring 14.7 psi at sea level.
– The development of a powdery residue on a rubber surface
as a result of surface breakdown.
– Small cracks on the surface of rubber, usually from
environmental damage.
– A measurement of a rubber material’s return
to its initial shape after deformation.
– Deformation on a rubber surface due to the application
of stress.
– The incidence of swelling that occurs after the extruded
profile comes out of the die. The rubber product’s properties determine
the amount of swelling that will occur.
– A change in a rubber material’s hardness over time.
– An apparatus used for measuring the hardness of rubber.
– Applying powder to rubber to prevent adhesion to something
else.
– A characteristic of rubber, describing its tendency
to return to its initial shape after warping.
– A material capable of returning to its initial length
after being stretched at room temperature to twice its original length.
– An increase in length after the application of stress.
This occurs during stretching.
– A laboratory test that measures a rubber material’s
resistance to bending deformation.
– The resistance to
motion when different surfaces are in contact.
– Energy loss in the form of heat that results from
the deformation of elastomeric material, caused by the application of
stress.
– The softening of raw rubber by mechanical and atmospheric
forces.
– The extent of a rubber material’s ability to resume
its original shape after deformation.
– The amount of stress required to create a certain amount
of elongation.
– The point during vulcanization at which rubber material
attains the intended properties.
– The degree to which rubber will retain deformation.
– Pounds per square inch. This measurement indicates pressure
level.
– The comparison of the amount of energy needed to create
an elastic deformation, and the amount of energy needed to recover from
such a deformation.
– The maximum amount of stress that may be applied
to rubber before breaking occurs.
– The process of increasing the strength and elasticity
of rubber materials through the application of heat and pressure.
