Blooming Rubber
Blooming Rubber
(OP)
I am having issues cleaning off bloom on some natural rubber parts. I have tried numerous cleaning solutions and various ways of scrubbing the parts from abrasive cloths to wire brushes. I have been told based on the rubber characteristics the formula cannot be changed. Does anyone have any suggestions for getting rid of this bloom issue?





RE: Blooming Rubber
The thing is that rubber-compounds often have chemicals
for ozone-resistance or UV-resistance that must bloom out of the surface to protect the parts.

1.The parts were molded using the unproper compound which contains too much ingredients, it's mean that the recipe is not good.
2.Or your application require better UV or OZONE RESISTANT property, so the compound contain some resistant agents that cause blooming.
