Mold fouling during rubber vulcanization.

From: Rubber World | Date: December 1, 2001| Author: van Baarle, Ben | Copyright information

Mold fouling is a commonly seen phenomenon in the rubber processing industry. During vulcanization, a layer is deposited on the wall of the mold which builds up gradually with each subsequent production cycle. This layer impedes an adequate heat transport, is the source of release problems and results in products with irregular surfaces. Mold fouling makes regular cleaning of the molds necessary. As this costs extra time and money, it is a problem to which a solution is eagerly anti...
