Vulcanisation
FRLa vulcanisation est un procédé de réticulation du caoutchouc qui modifie ses propriétés mécaniques et sa tenue à l’usage. Elle est notamment utilisée dans la fabrication de pneumatiques. La formulation, les agents de réticulation, la température et le temps de traitement dépendent du matériau et du produit; le terme ne garantit pas une performance ou une résistance précise.
ENVulcanization is a rubber cross-linking process that changes mechanical properties and service behaviour. It is used in tire manufacturing, among other applications. Formulation, cross-linking agents, temperature and processing time depend on material and product; the term does not guarantee a specific performance or resistance.
