Do rubber seals need to be vulcanized?

The raw rubber of rubber (rubber sealing products) also has certain application characteristics, but its defects are also very obvious. The strength is relatively low, the elasticity is insufficient, and it is easy to age. If the temperature is too low, it will become hard, and if the temperature is too high, it will become sticky. Vulcanization can greatly improve the performance of the original rubber and expand the use scope of rubber (rubber sealing products).

Vulcanization of rubber (rubber sealing products) is the most important and final production process of rubber (rubber sealing products). Through a series of complex chemical changes, rubber (rubber sealing products) becomes highly elastic or hard cross-linked rubber (rubber sealing products). So that rubber (rubber sealing products) can obtain corresponding mechanical properties and chemical properties according to the needs of use.

Unvulcanized rubber (rubber seal products) is a linear large-structure molecule. When the unrubberized material (rubber seal product) is subjected to external force, these large-structure molecules will deflect, which is mainly manifested as obvious deformation of the rubber (rubber seal product).

After rubber (rubber sealing products) is vulcanized, its molecular structure forms a network, which limits the movement of macromolecules. In particular, rubber materials (rubber sealing products) have better tensile strength and elasticity than before vulcanization.

Vulcanization can make rubber (rubber sealing products) have better practical value, so vulcanization is of great significance to the manufacturing and application of rubber (rubber sealing products) and its products.
