N2  - Rubber seed oil has been evaluated as an acid acceptor and plasticizer in gum and carbon black filled polychloroprene compounds replacing magnesium oxide and naphthenic type process oil. The results of the study indicate that use of rubber seed oil helps to achieve better scorch safety, faster cure rate and better ageing resistance in polychloroprene compounds. It can replace magnesium oxide and process oil in carbon black filled polychloroprene compounds. Use of rubber seed oil gives comparable tensile and tear strength and better abrasion resistance for the carbon black filled polychloroprene vulcanisates. Vulcanisates containing rubber seed oil do not develop fungus on their surface
