ABSTRACT: Linseed oil is used in the dual roles of the plasticizer and the fatty
acid component of the activator in nitrile rubber vulcanizates. The study shows
that the substitution can substantially improve the mechanical properties in
addition to other advantages such as increased cure rate, reduced leachability
and reduced compound cost.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT: Rubber seed oil was used as a multipurpose ingredient in natural rubber
(NR) and styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) compounds. The study shows that the oil,
when substituted for conventional plasticiser, imparts excellent mechanical properties
to NR and SBR vulcanizates. Further, it also improves aging resistance, reduces cure
time, increases abrasion resistance and flex resistance, and reduces blooming.
