28
Q

Production process for rubber making

A

Natsyn Process

29
Q

This catalyst is used in Natsyn Process in rubber making.

A

Ziegler-Natta (Alkyl Lithium)

30
Q

It means termination of polymer chain using chain termination agents.

A

Short Stop

31
Q

Used as roofing materials where they are replacing hot asphalt and used in wire and cable insulation.

A

Ethylene-Propylene Polymers and Tetrapolymers

32
Q

It is the process of cross-linking rubber molecules chemically with organic/inorganic substances through the action of heat and pressure using vulcanizing agents.

A

Vulcanizing (Bulkit)

33
Q

Temperature required for vulcanizing

A

140-200 deg Cel

34
Q

Temperature required for vulcanizing of latex dipped goods.

A

60-120 deg Cel with no pressure

35
Q

Any numerous chemical additives that encourage the suspension of one liquid in another.

A

Emulsifier

36
Q

A solution that lessens the impact on pH from the addition of acid or base.

37
Q

Chemicals that are added to improve the properties of the product.

38
Q

The watery part of the rubber mixture.

39
Q

A class of rubber chemical which are added to a compound to increase the speed of vulcanization.

A

Accelerators

40
Q

Substances other than the catalyst that facilitate the start of a catalytic reaction.

A

Activators

41
Q

Substances added to slow down the rate of chemical reaction.

42
Q

Substances that interrupts free-radicals chain reactions and thus prevent further degradation.

A

Antioxidants

43
Q

Substances that is added to protect against damage from ozone.

A

Antiozonates

44
Q

Substances added to the polymer to improve the properties and reduce cost of production.

45
Q

Substances that makes the product flow with ease.

A

Softeners and extenders

46
Q

Substances capable of producing a cellular structure via foaming process in a variety of materials that undergo hardening or phase transition.

A

Blowing Agents

47
Q

Substances that promote plasticity and flexibility.

A

Chemical Plasticizers

48
Q

It serve as either oxidation catalysts or radical acceptors, which essentially remove free radicals formed during the initial mixing of the elastomer.

49
Q

Extruder used to remove water from a material or product, often before further processing. This process might not involve heat and relies on mechanical pressure.

A

Extruder Dewatering

50
Q

Usually involves heat to remove moisture from the product after it has been extruded. It’s a subsequent step where the extruded product is sent into a low-temperature dryer to remove moisture.

A

Extruder Drying

51
Q

Tire Manufacturing Steps (6)

A
  1. Mixing
  2. Extrusion
  3. Calendering
  4. Tire Building
  5. Curing
  6. Measuring and Testing
52
Q

Natural and synthetic rubbers are mixed with many other chemicals to create a compound that serves a particular purpose within the tire.

53
Q

Rubber is pushed through a die to create shapes made of one or more different compounds in different locations to be used in the tire.

54
Q

It is pressed into a rubber sheet or impregnated into fabric or steel to create a rubber-coated reinforced sheet to be cut into components for the tire.

A

Calendering

55
Q

Takes all the components listed on the specification to create the uncured (green) tire.

A

Tire Building

56
Q

True or False: The tire is assembled from the inside out by wrapping the components around a drum and forcing them together using internal air pressure and rollers pressing from the outside to consolidate the components together.

57
Q

The uncured or green tire is placed into a mold which is mounted into a press.

58
Q

True or False: Once the tire is loaded into the press, a bladder inflates into the tire at high pressure to hold the tire in place as the mold closes around the tire.

A

False: low pressure

59
Q

True or False: In curing, once closed, low pressure steam or gas fills the bladder forcing the tire into the mold to take the final shape of the tire.

A

False: high pressure

60
Q

The cured tire goes to a machine where it is inflated and ran against a wheel at a certain load and inflation pressure.

A

Measuring and Testing

61
Q

This measures variation in forces that would be exerted against the road.

A

Measuring and Testing

62
Q

A machine used to balance the tire.

A

Balance Machine

63
Q

Who discovered vulcanization?

A

Charles Goodyear

64
Q

Rubber was named by him.

A

Joseph Priestly
