In beginning all product from rubber aremade from natural rubber that produced

from materials from natural rubber treecalled latex.

Synthetic rubber are produced fromreactions of low molecular weightmaterials called monomer to producedlong chain molecule called polymer

Elastic properties are produced by mixraw rubber with specific additives duringrubber compounding



Chemical structure of cis-polyisoprene, the main constituent of natural rubber:Synthetic cis-polyisoprene and natural cis-polyisoprene are derived from

different precursors.

CHEMICAL STRUCTURE OF RUBBER



In 5 minutes try to list how many points

that you remember the differences

between elastomer and latex (NR and SR)

Students Activity



The words rubber come from the materialsfrom the rubber tree name “Havea Brasiliensis”

The different between raw rubber and

vulcanized rubber or elastomer:1. Raw rubber either natural rubber or synthetic

rubber are materials that has plasticproperties and can be reshaping at high

temperature and not sutaible for applications.1. Elastomer is the words that used for

vulcanized rubber, vulcanisate or crosslinkingrubber

Introduction



When rubber was heated the chemical reactionsoccur call vulcanization or curing.

Process were rubber molecules were tied together at specific place called crosslinks

The crosslinks will prevent the slippaged of

molecules.

Elastomer are elastic materials that can deformedwhen forced being applied and back to the originalshape when release the forced.

The words elastomer comes from ‘elastic polymer’.

Mastication is mechanical shearing process

using two roll mill or internal mixer) for

Reduced the molecular weight,

Reduced the viscosity and

To soften the raw rubber.

After mastication the processing will be

much easier and increased the effectiveness

of dispersions of compounding ingredients.

The mastication is compulsory for natural

rubber due to high molecular weight in nature

(around 105

)

Mastication Process



Rubber compounding is the way of making useful products from raw

rubber

The process involved the addition of additives to change the masticated raw

rubber to rubber compound before a

forming process.

The compounding process used the

two roll mill and internal mixer

General rubber compounding formulation



Each ingredient has a specific function either in

processing, vulcanization or end use of the products.

The various ingredients may be classified accordingto their specific functions in the following groups:

1. Fillers

• Carbon black or non black fillers

2. Plasticizers or softeners

• Extenders, processing aids, special plasticizers

3. Age resistors or antidegradants

• Antioxidants, antiozonants, special age resistors4. Vulcanizing or curing ingredients

• vulcanization agents , accelerators and activator

5. Special-purpose ingredients

• Coloring pigments, blowing agents, flame retardants,antistatics agents retarders, peptizers

Compounding Ingredients



The crosslinking produced can have a monosulphideand polysulphide or both depending on the

vulcanization systems used

Sulphur vulcanization systems can be divided into 3systems depending on the relative amount of sulphur

& accelerator used.

The three systems can be differentiate through thetypes of crosslinking produced and the main chain

modification after vulcanization

After all compounding ingredients havebeen properly mixed the compounded

green stock is tacky and thermoplastics

In this plastic condition, the stock can beshaped by the applications of force.

This can be accomplished for example, by

squeezing it betweens rolls (calendering) or pushing through an orifice having the desired

shape (tubing or extruding).

Forming Process



After the green stock has been formed to the desiredshape, it needs to be converted to an elastic materials

vulcanization process usually under pressure at elevated

temperature using different techniques such as

Press vulcanization

Open vulcanization

Continuous vulcanization

Chemically the process involves insertation of crosslinks

between the polymer macromolecules through the actionsof vulcanizing ingredients.

The crosslinking of rubber also referring as curing it a

process whereby a raw materials is converted into a useful

product.

Vulcanization Process



Press vulcanization takes place in press thatsupply heat and pressure.

A vulcanizing press consists essentially of twoor more plates that can be bought together

and separated by hydraulic pressure heatedby steam or electricity

The rubber articles are vulcanized in variousmoulds between the heated plates under

pressure.

In its simplest form, a mould consists of twometal plates with cavities conforming to theoutside shape of the desired finished part.

Compression Moulding Process



Molding press



Most of rubber products produced using this method.

Rubber compound is placed in each cavity of the moldand closed and placed in hydraulic press.

Under the applied of hydraulic pressure (4-6 MPa) at

elevated temperature (140-200°C) using the cure timeobtained from rheometer curve.

After mould is closed the stock will flow andcompletely fill the mould cavity

The mould is maintained closed under pressure for aprescribed time at particular moulding temperature the mould is then removed from the press and openedto remove the moulded part.

Compression Moulding



Before After



Many rubber articles require finishing operations after vulcanization.

For example, the flash attached to moulded parts must beremoved before the parts are ready for use carried outby hand trimming using scissors or knives.

Some rubber parts are painted to give them an attractivefinish or more often to protect against ozone, oils, acids,chemicals ant the like. The paints are usually rubber based.

Items such as seals and windshield wiper blades mayrequire surface treatment with chlorine, bromine or fluorine

in water. The halogenated surface will have lower frictionthan the untreated surface while the bulk will be unaffected.

The finishing operations of extruded articles include coiling,cutting to specific length and washing.

Finishing Process



Quality control is necessary to ensure thequality of final products

During various stages, checking will beperformed on incoming materials, in process

materials and finished products. The rubber manufacturer usually test the

raw materials to make sure that they areuniform and of adequate quality

Control test are applied to various steps inthe manufacturing process. The testemployed are sensitive to any change in the

rubber compound resulting from errors.

Quality Control



Example of errors1. faulty compounding ingredients,

2. poor dispersion,3. improper temperature control,

4. wrong sequence of addition

5. too short or too long mixing cycles.

The control scheme – utilize mostly standardizedphysical tests on both unvulcanized and vulcanized

rubber compounds.

1. Unvulcanized compound tests – measurement of the

viscosity, scorch time and cure rate.

1. Vulcanized compound tests – measurements density,

hardness, tensile modulus, tensile strength and

elongation at break.

Latex processing

Compounded Latex



Latex is defined as a dispersion of polymer in an aqueous medium which is a

dispersion of polymeric solids in water

Latex has two phases:

1. The dispersed phase or discontinues phase

consisting of small particles of polymers

(particle size < 5 micrometer in diameter)

2. The dispersion medium or the continuous phase

or serum (a dilute aqueous solution)

Introduction



Latices are classified as:1. Natural latices obtain from plants

2. Synthetic latices produced from

emulsion polymerization process

3. Artificial latices produced by dispersingthe appropriate bulk polymer in an aqueous

dispersion medium

4. Modified latices produced bymodification of existing type of latex ( by

grafting, crosslinking etc)

Classification of latices



The NR latex obtained from the plantation is called

fresh or field latex

The field latex contains about 33% NR and thus noteconomical to be used to make a latex products

The rubber content of the field latex need to beincreased before it is used in making latex products.

This is achieved by doing concentration process tothe field latex

There are few methods that can be used toconcentrate natural rubber latex:

1. Concentration by creaming

2. Concentration by centrifugation

3. Concentration by evaporation

Natural rubber latex concentrate



Preservation is necessary to prevent micro-organism from

attacking the non-rubber components of latex.

Latex which has been attacked by micro-organism has lower co l loidal stabi l i ty and bad odour .

Concentrated latex is preserved for long-term storage. The

most popular preservative is ammonia.

There are two types ammonia preservation systems: Low -ammonia latex (LA latex)

0.2 % m/m ammonia.

short term preservation

suitable for certain applications such as latex foam requires lowammonia content in order for to gel properly.

secondary preservatives are added to LA latex for long term storage.

High ammonia latex (HA latex): 0.6 - 0.8 % m/m of ammonia

long term preservation

Preservations for latex concentrate



The properties of the latex are of interest because: To gain better understanding of the physical and chemical

nature of the latex.

To determine the fitness of the latex for a particular application.

To assure the general quality of the latex

The test methods to evaluate latex properties canbe classified into three groups:

1. Tests related to chemical composition

2. Tests related to colloidal stability

3. Tests related to physical properties

Investigation Latex Poperties



Process of addition of chemicals to the latex compounding

Latex containing these chemicals compounded latex.

Most chemicals added to the latex ~ in solid form thereforethese chemical need to be disp ersed in w ater first beforeadded to the latex.

The dispersed chemicals dispersion and prepared bygrinding them together with the dispersing agent in water.

The chemicals used in latex compounding can be divided into

three general classifications:

1. Surface active agents (surfactants)

2. Liquid phase modifier

3. Elastomer or rubber phase modifier

Curing of latex process of introducing cross-links in the

rubber molecules. The term vulcanisation used to describe cross-linking

process involving sulphur as cross-linking agent.

Two types of vulcanisation in latex:

pre-vulcanisation when the vulcanisation is done while

the latex is still in liquid state.

post-vulcanisation if the vulcanisation is done on latexfilm.

Latex that has been pre-vulcanised referred as pre-vulcanised latex or PV latex (for pre-vulcanised natural rubber PVNR).

Appearance PVNR very similar to unvulcanised NR withmaintained fluidity.

The cross-linking only takes place in each individualparticles. particles in PVNR have the same shape, size

& size distribution as those in initial unvulcanised latex.

Dipping process is used to make thin and hollow latex

products such as gloves, catheters and toys Theseproducts are called dipped products.

In principle dipping process involves dipping cleanedformers into compounded latex (prevulcanized or postvulcanized compound)

Latex film will be formed around the former and productobtained by drying and curing the films.

Latex dipping process can be classified into three methods:

1. Straight or simple dipping no stabilize agency isused to form the films

2. Coagulant dipping a direct coacervant is used topromote film formation

3. Heat-sensitized dipping a heat sensitizer is used topromote film formation
