Antireversion Agents
Vulcanized rubber is based on sulfur crosslinks ranging from short to long sulfur links. When temperature reaches the initial curing temperature, the number of crosslinks decrease at the expense of monosulfide bridges. This reversion leads to a deterioration in mechanical properties. Antireversion agents stabilized these crosslinks preventing this property deterioration. (Belin et al, US Patent 7,557,151, July 7, 2009)
