3.1 Age control. Age controlis the designationof a specificmaximum
periodof age aftercure date thatwill assuredesiredperformancecharacteristics
of an elastomer. Age controlis based on the premisethat elastomersare age
sensitive.
3.5 Cure date The date (see 5.3) when the mixturecontainingthe high
molecularweightpolymer:the crosslinkingagentaqd additivesis chemically
reactedusuallyat ~ elevatedtemperatureto producea curedbulk elastomeric
productor is cured and moldedsimult~eouslyto producean elastomericend item.
3.6 Bulk elastomericproduct., This productis a curedbulk elastomeric
substancethat, by itself,has no usefulpurposeuntil shapedor formedto
createa usefulend item.
