Vulcanization consists of the application of heat and pressure to a rubber compound, with the aim of giving form and property to the final product. The exact determination of the method and conditions of vulcanization (time, temperature and pressure), must be made not only aiming the used composition, but also the dimension of the artefact to be made.
