Preparation and characterization of factice by vulcanization of oil extracted from Putranjiva roxburghii , a fairly abundant plant of the tropical Indian subcontinent, is presented. This information serves as a processing aid for substituting commercially available factices. Mechanical and thermal studies of this new type of factice, blended with rubber, showed higher thermal stability and improved processing characteristics during extrusion and calendering operations compared to rubber without factice.
