Abstract
Rubber seed oil was used as a multipurpose ingredient in natural rubber (NR ) and styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) compounds. The study shows that the oi l, when substituted for conventional plasticiser, imparts excellent mechani cal properties to NR and SBR vulcanizates. Further, it also improves aging resistance, reduces cure time, increases abrasion resistance and flex resis tance, and reduces blooming. (C) 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
