Method for preventing degradation and deterioration of vulcanized rubber material

摘要

A method of preventing degradation of vulcanized rubber materials used in the operation of oil and gas wells comprising forming said rubber material from a sulfur vulcanized composition comprising a copolymer rubber having in the polymer chain (I) 10 to 60% by weight of a unit from an unsaturated nitrile, (II) not more than 10% by weight of a unit from a conjugated diene, and (III) 30 to 90% by weight of a unit from an ethylenically unsaturated monomer other than the unsaturated nitrile and/or a unit resulting from the hydrogenation of a unit from a conjugated diene, said rubber being vulcanized with a sulfur vulcanization system.
