Environmental Conditioning and Exposure
An understanding of the impacts of environmental exposures is a vital aspect of assuring appropriate product life in service. Examples for rubber may range from simple weathering characteristics such as heat and ozone resistances for high-diene content based elastomers, to aggressive fluid resistances commonly required for low diene content elastomers.
