Method for vulcanizing an elastomeric product including alternate heating and pressurizing steps
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A process for vulcanizing an elastomeric product comprising the steps of:
- (A) placing an elastomeric product into a mold;
(B) applying, sequentially and alternately, at least two each of a heating step and a pressurizing step to the elastomeric product in order to effect vulcanization; and
(C) removing the vulcanized elastomeric product from said mold;
wherein said heating steps are carried out at a lower pressure than said pressurizing steps and wherein a duration of heating in said first stage heating is greater than a duration of heating in said second stage heating and a duration of the first stage pressurizing is less than a duration of the second stage pressurizing.

Abstract
A method for vulcanizing an elastomeric product placed in a vulcanizing apparatus includes one step of supplying heating medium into the elastomeric product and another step of supplying pressurizing medium into the elastomeric product at a higher pressure than the heating medium, the two steps being performed one after another at least two times. This method can produce an elastomeric product having no bareness without increasing the vulcanizing time.
