What is RPA Any material used at relatively low dosage
levels, will improve processing characteristics without significantly affecting physical properties.
They also improve the physical properties such as,
Elasticity, Flex life, Low temp performance and, Aid in incorporation & dispersion of
pigments

What is an Activator
- Increase the efficiency of cross-linking - Help in dispersing the sulphur and
accelerator

Driving- FACTOR
Conventional Processing aid, petroleum based Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) has been banned in European countries at 2009.
Stearic acid (present as activator), is a saturated fatty acid obtained from animal fat.
![Page 8: Design and Study of Ricinoleates as processing aids and activators in rubbers…](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070422/568163f5550346895dd581aa/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Driving- FACTOR
Zn can be released into the environment from rubber during production, use, and recycling of rubber goods, particularly tyres.
Harmful effect of soluble Zn-compounds to aquatic organisms.
ZnO causes a mammalian reproductive toxinExposure to zinc oxide in the air, result in a nervous
malady called metal fume fever.ZnS deposited on the wall of the mold, causes mold
fouling.

EXPERIMENT We have tried to reduce the ZnO by
using a combination of metal oxide (MgO & Ca(OH)2) of varying ratios, is mixed with CASTOR OIL under microwave heating at a set frequency (1.32GHz).

Structure of Castor oilMono-unsaturated,
18 carbon fatty acid (esters of 12-
hydroxy-9-octadecenoicacid)
Contains Functional groups:
1.carboxylic group
2.unsaturation 3.hydroxy group

Why Castor Oil
Naturally obtained non-toxic Vegetable oilVegetable oil offers LubricityOther seed oils lack the HYDROXY GroupDue to this Hydroxy group- 1. Reactive 2. Offers xtra stability 3. High viscosity

SummaryWith reduced viscosity, thereby reducing mix duration
with less mech generation of heat & energy consumption reqd to breakdown rubber.
Ease of handling as processing aids is in the form of pellets.
With increased scorch time(Ts2), better Processing safety.
With shorter curing cycles, we get faster productivity.The physical props of C-B filled cmpds was similar to the
control, but this was not the case in GUM cmpds.

Why MgO & Ca(OH)2
These were the acid acceptors playing a dual role : 1. Neutralization of acid-byproducts of
vulcanization and; 2. Act as cross-linking agents forming weak ionic
bonds.
