The effect of antioxidant concentration in mineral oil on polychloroprene rubber vulcanizate, based on different types of carbon black, has been studied. This study shows that, with the increase of antioxidant, the percentage volume swelling of the rubber increases, the hardness of the rubber decreases, and the embrittlement time is prolonged. The properties achieved are important for oil seal manufacturers.
