Physical properties
The green rubber compound was cured
at 150 °C for 18 minutes in a steam hea-
ted curing press using compression mol-
ding for physical property tests.
Dumbell shaped specimens were pun-
ched out from the molded sheets. Tensile
properties were measured on Alpha ten-
someter 2000 according to ASTM D 412-
51 (2006) and at a crosshead speed of
500 mm/min. The hardness was measu-

For oil resistance measurement, ASTM
D 471-06 test procedure was followed.
IRM 903 reference oil, analytical and pre-
cision balance with density kit (Mettler
Toledo AB204-S) was used. Samples were
immersed in reference oil for 168 h at 100
0C and volume change was measured.
