O<strong>the</strong>r mechanical properties<br />

O<strong>the</strong>r mechanical properties like hardness, compressi<strong>on</strong> set <strong>and</strong><br />

abrasi<strong>on</strong> loss <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> gum vulcanizates are given <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> Table 6.4.<br />

The mechanical properties <strong>of</strong> gum vulcanizate with 5phr ZnO(c) are<br />

superior compared to <strong>the</strong> mechanical properties <strong>of</strong> vulcanizate with 2phr<br />

ZnO(c). Hardness, a measure <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> low stra<strong>in</strong> elastic modulus was found to<br />

be comparable for vulcanizates with 2phr ZnO(p), ZnO(s) <strong>and</strong> 5phr ZnO(c).<br />

Compressi<strong>on</strong> set <strong>and</strong> abrasi<strong>on</strong> loss <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> gum vulcanizates with 2phr ZnO(p),<br />

2phr ZnO(s) are found to be reduced compared to gum vulcanizate with 5phr<br />

ZnO(c). This <strong>in</strong>dicates vulcanizates with low dosage <strong>of</strong> ZnO(p) <strong>and</strong> ZnO(s)<br />
