This invention discloses a polypolyester derivative vulcanized
EPDM rubber material and its preparation method, aiming to solve the problems of
oxygen inhibition, insufficient
vulcanization of the outer surface, and point-like bubble defects, as well as increased
oxygen removal costs, that occur in existing
peroxide-vulcanized EPDM under bare
vulcanization in a vulcanizing tank without
oxygen removal, as well as the resulting increased oxygen removal costs. This material uses one of two alternative formulations by weight, including
EPDM rubber,
carbon black, silica
powder, paraffin oil, activator,
antioxidant, dispersing and tackifying resin,
polyethylene wax, and a polypolyester derivative vulcanizing agent; the vulcanizing agent has a repeating
unit structure of formula (I), where n is 3-6, the number average molecular weight is 400-1000, and it is a powdered
solid. The preparation method employs a two-stage mixing process: in stage A, the mixture is discharged at approximately 130°C and left to stand; in stage B, the vulcanizing agent is added at no higher than 100°C, the mixture is extruded, and vulcanized at 170°C. This invention results in a smoother appearance,
reduced risk of surface bubble defects, and better
processing stability under bare
vulcanization conditions without oxygen removal.
