How to stop Reversion of Rubber

How to stop Reversion of Rubber

How to stop Reversion of Rubber

(OP)
Some conveyor pulleys that have been in use for some time have spiral wrapped lagging made of SBR rubber. The lagging is reverting which is depositing unwanted substances on adjacent surfaces.

The belt that is driven by the pulleys has a PVC backing.

Do you know of a way to stop the reversion process in the field once it has begun without changing the materials in use.

RE: How to stop Reversion of Rubber

Hi,

Plasma surface treatment may be helpful.  Elastomer surfaces can be improved without altering the bulk properties of the material.

Please look at our web site for information  www.pvateplaamerica.com

I'll be glad to answer any questions you may have.
