With the wide variety of elastomers, fillers, and other compounding ingredients available today, there is increasing demand for rubber compounds with specific properties. The systematic development of the desired rubber compound can be undermined by the exposure of the compound to oxygen and ozone during use. Thus, a rubber compounder should be aware of the effects of oxygen and ozone attack on rubber and how to compound for oxygen and ozone resistance. This short review is intended as an introduction to the phenomena of oxidation and ozonation of rubber.
