The processability characteristics and physico-mechanical properties of natural rubber (NR) modified with raw rubber seed oil and epoxidized rubber seed oil have been studied. The modified mixes showed higher scorch time and lower cure rate, crosslink density, and ultimate state of cure compared to an unmodified mix. The thermal stability of the vulcanizates was practically unaffected by the modification.
