Peroxide crosslinking of elastomers has been known over 50 years. Serious interest in vulcanization began with the commercial introduction of dicumyl peroxide in the late 1950s. The major feature of this peroxide was its high curing temperature, which has provided scorch time needed for many rubber manufacturing systems. The main feature of peroxide vulcanization are reviewed and the complications that can interfere with crosslinking performance are discussed.
