Abstract

The efficacy of various commercially available process aids as surface lubricants of raw natural rubber was examined using a simple friction apparatus. The aids were either spread on the hard counterface or incorporated in the raw rubber. Experiments were carried out over a range of temperatures from 25C to 120C at modest sliding speeds in order to follow changes in friction levels surface morphology of the rubber and film transfer. In general the presence of any process aid at the sliding interface led to a reduction in the surface friction.
