摘要
Activators are essential additives in the production of industrially viable elastomeric compounds. However, zinc oxide, the most widely used along with stearic acid, produces environmental damage due to tire wear; as a consequence, the powdered compound is released into the environment. For this reason, there is an intense search for additives from renewable sources that are sustainable, cheaper and eco-friendly. This work brings about the use of a new material from sugar cane as an alternative activator in the vulcanization of natural rubber. Both the favorable results obtained and the considerable reduction of zinc content (74.4%) used in the compounds, with similar results compared to the standard sample, highlight the possibility of changing conventional activators such as zinc oxide to a green option from sugar cane.
