The effect of recycled rubber powder (RRP) on cure characteristics of styrene butadiene and chlorosulphonated polyethylene rubber blends (SBR/CSM) was investigated in the concentration range of 0 to 20 phr. Results indicate that the minimum torque and Mooney viscosity of the SBR/CSM rubber blends increase with increasing RRP loading whereas the scorch time and cure time exhibit a decreasing trend. Increasing RRP loading also gives SBR/CSM rubber compounds reduces the elongation at break but the tensile stress, M 200 (stress at 200% elongation) increases slightly.Physical chemistry 2006 : 8th international conference on fundamental and applied aspects of physical chemistry; Belgrade (Serbia); 26-29 September 200
