The most important factor of rubber aging is oxidation, which makes the molecular structure of rubber cracked or structured, resulting in the deterioration of rubber material performance, the temperature has a great influence on oxidation. Increase the temperature will accelerate the rubber oxidation reaction, especially when the rubber products are used under high temperature or dynamic, the heat generation will increase the significant thermal oxidation.
