The cure time of accelerated sulphur vulcanization of Epoxidized Natural Rubber (ENR 25) was studied while one grade of unmodified natural rubber- Standard Malaysian Rubber Light (SMR L) was used as a control. Five accelerators, viz. 2-mercaptoben-zothiazole (MBT), tetramethylthiuram disulphide (TMTD), zinc dimethyldithiocarbamate (ZDMC), N-tert-butyl-2-benzothiazylsulphenamide (TBBS) and diphenylguanidine (DPG) were used in the study and the vulcanization systems used were conventional vulcanization (CV), semi-efficient vulcanization (semi-EV) and efficient vulcanization (EV). Monsanto Moving-Die Rheometer (MDR 2000) was used to determined the cure time in the temperature range of 100-180°C. The results indicate that cure time decreases exponentially with increasing temperature for the two rubbers studied. At a fixed curing temperature, ENR 25 shows shorter cure time compared to that of SMR L. This has been attributed to the activation of the double bond by the adjacent epoxide group in ENR 25. Studies of the effect of varying amounts of M Bata a fixed sulphur concentration show that cure time decreases as the accelerator concentration increases. ENR 25 shows higher torque maximum than SMR L. This observation can be related to the oxirane group which is bulky and thus accounts for increased glass; transition temperature with increase in the level of epoxidation. Of the vulcanization systems, CV shows the highest torque maximum followed by semi-EV and than EV. This trend can be attributed to the amount of active sulphurating agent which increases with increasing accelerator concentration. It was also found that the influence of accelerator/sulphur ratio becomes less significant as vulcanization temperature increases. |
