Abstract
Abstract The oxidative aging of natural rubber vulcanizates at 25° C under irradiation by ultraviolet light of wavelength 365 mµ has been described in a number of communications from this laboratory. At this wavelength naphthylamines were shown to accelerate degradation of peroxide vulcanizates while substituted p-phenylenediamines inhibited it; α-naphthol and a variety of dithiocarbamates were also found to have a protective action. Since some amines and phenolic antioxidants do not absorb light of wavelength 365 mµ but do absorb in the region of 313 mµ, investigations have now been made of the effect of a large number of additives on aging at the shorter wavelength, so that predictions might be made of the most suitable materials to employ in protecting unfilled vulcanizates against crazing in sunlight.
