TOTM and TINTM plasticizers reportedly impart better heat resistance for
HNBR compounds than plasticizers such as DOP and DBEEA because these
trimellitate plasticizers have lower volatility and higher molecular weights.
DBEEA reportedly is the most recommended for HNBR-based, sulfur-cured
compounds because it imparts a good balance between low-temperature
properties and heat resistance. GEN: S. Hayashi, H. Sakakida, M. Oyama,
T. Nakagawa, Low-Temperature Properties of Hydrogenated Nitrile Rubber
(HNBR), Rubber Chemistry and Technology, SeptemberOctober, 1991, Vol. 64,
p. 534.
NBR
High-temperature applications for NBR-based compounds often use peroxides
and thiurams as curatives. RT: Chapter 6, Elastomer Selection, R. School,
p. 131.
Using NBR grades with higher ACN content may improve compound heat aging
resistance. RT: Chapter 8, Specialty Elastomers, M. Gozdiff, p. 194.
Use an emulsion NBR that is produced from a coagulating system based on
magnesium sulfate for better heat resistance. RT: Chapter 8, Specialty Elasto-
mers, M. Gozdiff, p. 196.
To impart better heat resistance to a nitrile formulation, consider ether thioether
plasticizers, in which the sulfur functions as a secondary antioxidant. GEN:

To impart better heat resistance to a nitrile formulation, consider using precip-
itated silica, magnesium oxide, and zinc oxide in place of carbon black. GEN:

Natural Rubber
For NR compounds, cure at a lower temperature for a longer period of time to
increase the preponderance of monosulfide crosslinks for better aging prop-
erties. GEN: M. Studebaker, J. Beatty, Vulcanization, Elastomerics, February,
1977, p. 41.
For NR formulations, selecting diphenylguanidine (DPG) as the secondary
accelerator (kicker) instead of a dithiocarbamate or a thiuram kicker for a
primary accelerator may improve the compounds heat aging characteristics.
