Aging of rubber is one of the decisive factors affecting the reliability and durability of the products. Evaluation
of resistance to aging allows selecting the optimal formulation of rubber compounds and determining the
warranty service and storage of rubber products. One of the most important factors determining the resistance
to aging of rubber is the nature of the molecular chains of the polymer (a type of rubber). Research aimed at
improving the process of sulfur vulcanization of EPDM rubber was carried out on the enterprise «Eurasian
Industrial Technical Group» LLP since at present time the application of this technology is not possible due
to the fact that the use of peroxide curing of rubbers is more economical.
