Natural Rubber Melting Temperature

An exceptional material for strain and energy storage.

Natural rubber melting temperature. Rubber begins to melt at approximately 180 degrees celsius. Styrene butadiene copolymer styrene butadiene rubber. Glass transition temperature c melting temperature c heat resistance oil resistance flex resistance typical products and applications e excellent g good f fair p poor. Even at such high temperatures neoprene will not physically degrade making it better suited to long term use in high temperature applications than natural rubber.

Tires springs shoes adhesives. Natural rubber also called india rubber latex amazonian rubber caucho or caoutchouc as initially produced consists of polymers of the organic compound isoprene with minor impurities of other organic compounds plus water thailand and indonesia are two of the leading rubber producers. Types of polyisoprene that are used as natural rubbers are classified as elastomers. Polymer journal 2020 52 2 255 259.

This rubber o ring temperature chart shows high and low rubber temperature range resistance for all popular materials. Make sure that your material is compatible with your environment by going to our rubber properties and chemical compatibility sections. Nitrile rubber also known as nbr buna n and acrylonitrile butadiene rubber is a synthetic rubber derived from acrylonitrile acn and butadiene. Reexamination of the equilibrium melting temperature of natural rubber crystals.

When heat degradation does occur it does not manifest itself in the form of melting or stretching as with many applications but instead exhibits hardening. Polyisoprene natural rubber isoprene rubber 70. At low temperatures around 5 c to 6 c there is a risk that rubber hardens because of crystallization. Pinzhang chen yuanfei lin jingyun zhao lingpu meng daoliang wang wei chen liangbin li.

The equilibrium melting temperature t mathrm m 0 of natural rubber crystals was reexamined by the hoffman weeks plot and the gibbs thomson plot using the lamellar thickness obtained. Macromolecular chemistry and physics 2013 214 8 912 923. Nbr is used in the automotive and aeronautical industry to make fuel and oil handling hoses seals grommets.
