Abstract
Scorch (the premature crosslinking of an elastomer) is a problem that is often encountered in carboxylated rubbers in the presence of metal oxides which are used as crosslinking agents. Adipic acid can be used to greatly improve the scorch resistance of carboxylated rubbers. Adipic acid can be distributed throughout a carboxylated rubber before or after coagulation using any procedure that will result in a thorough mixing to form a rubber composition with improved scorch resistance.
