Abstract
Abstract Recently Werkenthin, Richardson, Thornley and Morris reported on the sunlight and accelerated light aging of various natural and synthetic rubber stocks, and proposed a method for standardizing the accelerated light aging test. The purpose of the present paper is to provide data on the correlation of sunlight aging with accelerated light aging for various synthetic rubber stocks loaded with mineral pigments. FORMULAS AND CURES The formulas and cures for the synthetic rubber stocks are given in Table I. These stocks have a loading corresponding to a good quality, 40 per cent wire insulation compound. Most of the prominent types of synthetic rubber manufactured in this country and one foreign synthetic rubber were included in this study. It was necessary to blend Vistanex Medium with natural rubber, inasmuch as this synthetic rubber cannot be vulcanized.
