Static Coldcure Vulcanization On Embossed Rubber Cotsheets Using Chambers

Vulcanization is a technological process in rubber production in which raw rubber is converted into cure rubber. In the static coldcure process, vapor or fumed sulphur monochloride (S2C12) is used to cure the embossed rubber cotsheet in a chamber. Since the embossed cotsheet is not agitated during t...
