Factors of rubber aging

Factors of rubber aging

During the processing, storage and use of rubber and its products, the physical and chemical properties and mechanical properties of rubber gradually deteriorate due to the combined effect of internal and external factors, and finally lose their use value. This change is called rubber aging. The surface is cracked, sticky, hardened, softened, powdery, discolored, mildewed, etc. A) Oxygen: the oxygen reacts with the rubber molecules in the rubber by free radical chain reaction, and the molecular chains break or cross link excessively, which causes the change of rubber properties. Oxidation is one of the important reasons for rubber aging. B)…

Difference between dynamic seal and static seal

Seals are divided into dynamic seals and static seals. Static seals are divided into three categories: gasket seals, rubber seals, and contact seals. Dynamic seals can also be divided into two categories: rotary seals and reciprocating seals The sealing forms are specifically divided into two categories: static sealing between relatively static joint surfaces and dynamic sealing between relatively moving joint surfaces. 1. Static seal: according to the working pressure, static seal can be divided into medium and low pressure static seal and high pressure static seal. Medium and low pressure static seals are usually made of soft gaskets with wide…

Design and Use of O-ring

Design and Use of O-ring

Improper design and use of O-ring will accelerate its damage and lose its sealing performance. The experiment shows that if each part of the sealing device is reasonably designed and the pressure is simply increased, the O-ring will not be damaged. Under the working conditions of high pressure and high temperature, the main causes of O-ring damage are the permanent deformation of O-ring materials and the clearance bite caused by O-ring being squeezed into the sealing clearance, and the O-ring is distorted during movement. 1. Permanent deformation Because the synthetic rubber material used for O-ring seal ring is viscoelastic material,…

Classification, comparison and advantages and disadvantages of rubber O-ring materials

Classification, comparison and advantages and disadvantages of rubber O-ring materials

Nitrile butadiene rubber NBR (Nickel Rubber) is made by copolymerization of acrylonitrile and butadiene. The acrylonitrile content ranges from 18% to 50%. The higher the acrylonitrile content, the better the resistance to petrochemical oil hydrocarbon fuel oil, but the low temperature performance becomes worse. The general use temperature range is - 25~100 ℃. Nitrile butadiene rubber is one of the most commonly used rubber for oil seal and O-ring. advantage: ·It has good characteristics of oil resistance, water resistance, solvent resistance and high pressure oil resistance. ·Good compression deflection, abrasion resistance and elongation. Disadvantages: ·Not suitable for use in polar…

Classification and difference between mechanical seals and hydraulic seals

Definitions of mechanical seals and hydraulic seals: Mechanical seal is one of the precision and complex mechanical basic elements, and is the key component of various pumps, reaction synthesis kettles, turbine compressors, submersible motors and other equipment. Its sealing performance and service life depend on many factors, such as model selection, machine accuracy, correct installation and use, etc. The hydraulic seal has pressure requirements, and the joint surface is required to have a certain degree of smoothness. The sealing element is mostly rubber, and the sealing effect is achieved through the local deformation of the sealing element. Classification of mechanical…

Characteristics and uses of ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM)

Characteristics and uses of ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM)

Ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) is a rubber made of ethylene and propylene through solution copolymerization, and then introduced into the third monomer (ENB). EPDM is basically a saturated polymer with excellent aging resistance, weather resistance, electrical insulation, chemical corrosion resistance and impact elasticity. The main disadvantage of ethylene propylene rubber is its slow curing speed; It is difficult to blend with other unsaturated rubbers, and the self adhesion and mutual adhesion are very poor, so the processing performance is poor. According to the performance characteristics of ethylene propylene rubber, it is mainly used in the fields that require aging…

Brief introduction of rubber processing technology

1. Plasticizing mechanism Rubber is plasticized to increase its plasticity. Its essence is to break rubber molecular chains and reduce the length of macromolecules. Fracture can occur not only in the main chain of macromolecules, but also in the side chain. As rubber is subject to oxygen, electricity, heat, mechanical force, plasticizer and other factors during plasticizing, the plasticizing mechanism is closely related to these factors, among which oxygen and mechanical force play an important role, and they complement each other. Generally, plasticizing can be divided into low-temperature plasticizing and high-temperature plasticizing. The former is dominated by mechanical degradation, and…
