The maximum contribution of turbulent attrition rate varies in the range 30-40 per cent of total fine numbers with the assumption that impact attrition fragments are not generated by the rubber coated turbine (i.e. similar to the 25 per cent estimate of Evans etal., 1974). 

Chlorinated rubber is soluble in aromatic solvents, and paints made from it dry by solvent evaporation alone. In contrast to the vinyls, there is less difficulty in formulating systems that are suitable for brush application. It has excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals and to water, but as it is extremely brittle it needs to be plasticised. To preserve chemical resistance it is necessary to use inert plasticisers such as chlorinated paraffin wax. Due to the presence of ozone depleting solvents, chlorinated rubber coatings are being phased out and largely replaced by vinyl acrylic coatings which have very similar performance and can be formulated from lower aromatic or aliphatic solvents. 

Radome Also called radiation dome. It is a cover for a microwave antenna used to protect the antenna from the environment on the ground, underwater, and in the air (aircraft nose cone, etc.). The dome is basically transparent to electromagnetic radiation and structurally strong. Different materials have been used such as wood, rubber-coated air-supported fabric, etc. The most popular is the use of glass fiber-TS polyester RPs. The shape of the dome, that is usually spherical, is designed not to interfere with the radiation. 

The rubber industry has a long and colorful history. Natural rubber is produced from latex, a milky fluid found in cells that lie between the bark and the wood of many plants. You may have seen latex flow from the broken stalks of milkweed plants, but the source of commercial rubber is the Hevea tree, a native of Brazil. When the bark of this tree is slashed, its milky white sap oozes out and can be collected in cups mounted on the tree s trunk. The people of the Amazon jungle made bouncing balls, shoes, and water Jars out of rubber, and Portuguese explorers sent waterproof boots and a rubber-coated coat back to their king. The first commercial exports included some rubber shoes shipped to Boston in 1823.

In lithography - a rubber coated fabric mounted on a cylinder that receives the inked impression from the plate and transfers (offsets) it to the paper. Such blankets are also mounted on the impression cylinders of sheeted gravure presses. 

Short for waterproofing, usually refers to the application of a rubber coating to fabrics by the process of spreading. 

A more complex form of coating calender is the four-bowl Z or L arrangement. A four-bowl calender can simultaneously apply a rubber coating onto both sides of a fabric. In effect, the No. 1 and 2 bowls and the No. 3 and 4 bowls form pairs where two rubber sheets are produced. The sheets are then laminated to a substrate between the No. 2 and 3 bowls. Very sophisticated devices are usually incorporated into the calender design to control thickness and width of the individual sheets and the resulting laminate. 

Hose may be hand built using a three roll wrapping machine. The centres of the three rolls form an equilateral triangle. The hose during construction sits on the junction between the two lower rollers and pressure is exerted to consolidate the composite by the upper movable roller. An extruded inner liner, after fitting to a solid inner mandrel, is placed into the machine between the rollers and then the various layers of rubber coated or resorcinol-formaldehyde-latex treated, fabric are applied in a spiral form, with overlap. Once the reinforcement layers have been added the cover rubber is applied and a cloth, usually nylon, is spirally wrapped around the constructed hose using the roller system. The hose is now ready for vulcanisation. 

Rubber coated fabric is cut to give a bias to the fabric on its application to the tyre carcass. The knife angle can be adjusted in the cutting machine.

Polyterpenes, coumarone-indene resins, and so-called petroleum resins are produced commercially using cationic polymerization. These are used as additives for rubber, coatings, floor coverings, and adhesives. 

A typical automobile tyre consists of several parts (Fig. 5). The tread and sidewall make up the outside of the tyre. The tread is the portion of the tyre that comes into contact with the road, whereas the sidewall, or wall, is the side of the tyre that connects the tread and the bead. The tread is reinforced from underneath by the belt, which comprises a set of fabrics and/or wires. The plies, found in association with the belt, are layers of rubber-coated cords, which are typically made of fabric, polymer, fibreglass, or steel. The set of belts and plies is often collectively referred to as the cord, or cord body, of the tyre. The cords of the tyre wrap around the bead, the part of the tyre that rests on the tyre rim. The bead consists of both mbber bead filler and a series of steel bead wires. The last major part of the tyre, the innerliner, is a low-permeability...
