What is the main advantage of VIR compared to pure rubber?
Right Answer is:
All of the above
SOLUTION
Vulcanization significantly enhances the physical and environmental resistance properties of rubber.
Vulcanized Indian Rubber (VIR) is stronger and more durable than pure rubber.
- Greater Mechanical Strength: VIR can withstand more physical stress and pressure without breaking or deforming.
- Durability: It lasts longer and resists wear and tear better than pure rubber.
- Water Resistant: VIR is less likely to absorb water, which helps it maintain its insulating properties even in moist conditions.
