Comparison of Vulcanization Types:
Vulcanization
Type Crosslink Type Advantages Applications
Sulfur Polysulfidic Good elasticity and flexibility, Tires, tubes, belts, general-
(Conventional) cost-effective purpose products
Sulfur (EV Monosulfidic Excellent heat and aging Heat-resistant hoses, seals,
System) resistance industrial goods
Peroxide Carbon-carbon Superior heat, aging, and EPDM, silicone, fluorocarbon
chemical resistance rubbers, O-rings, seals
Radiation Radiation- No chemical residues, precise Medical devices, food-grade
induced control rubber
Resin Phenolic resin High heat resistance, hardness Tire inner liners, diaphragms,
seals
Metal Oxide Metal oxide Excellent aging, flame, and Wire coatings, weather-
chemical resistance resistant parts
Urethane Urethane High abrasion resistance, Rollers, coatings, automotive
crosslinks durability parts
Sulfur Donor Shorter sulfur Improved heat resistance, anti- High-performance tires,
bridges reversion properties industrial components
Microwave Energy-induced Uniform heating, suitable for Profiles, hoses, wire coatings
heat continuous processes
