Vulcanization requires some combinationof Heat, Pressure and Time. Vulcanization, curing, or crosslinking,is an irreversible chemical reaction by which the polymer chains in a mixture are “chemically bonded together” at various points, resulting in a material that is tough and elastic. Vulcanization can take place in a heated press, autoclave, hot air oven, fluidized bed, or salt bath, using electricity, hot oil, steam, microwaves, infrared, or UV radiation for heat.
