  1. Harden (rubber or rubberlike material) by treating it with sulfur at a high temperature

  1. undergo vulcanization; "vulcanize rubber"
  2. (vulcanized) cured: (used of rubber) treated by a chemical or physical process to improve its properties (hardness and strength and odor and elasticity)
  3. (vulcanization) process of treating rubber or rubberlike materials with sulphur at great heat to improve elasticity and strength or to harden them
  4. Vulcanization or vulcanisation is a chemical process for converting rubber or related polymers into more durable materials via the addition of sulfur or other equivalent "curatives". These additives modify the polymer by forming crosslinks (bridges) between individual polymer chains. ...
  5. To treat rubber with heat and (usually) sulphur to harden it and make it more durable
  6. (vulcanization) A process by which rubber is hardened using heat and sulphur
  7. (vulcanization) A process by which a network of crosslinks is introduced into an elastomer to strengthen it.
  8. (Vulcanization) An irreversible process during which a rubber compound through a change in its chemical structure (for example, cross-linking), becomes less plastic and more resistant to swelling by organic liquids and elastic properties are conferred, improved, or extended over a greater range ...
  9. (VULCANIZATION) A chemical reaction in which a rubber is cured by reaction with sulfur or other suitable agents.
  10. (vulcanization) cross-linking with heat and sulfur to toughen a polymer.
  11. (Vulcanization) A special containing alkali process, where rubber is treated with colour with sulfur and alternative containing alkali substances underneath high temperature, so that they mix with the rubber to raise the strength and agility is called vulcanization.
  12. (Vulcanization) A thermo-setting reaction involving the use of heat and pressure, resulting in greatly increased strength and elasticity of rubber-like materials.
  13. (Vulcanization) In (typically) canvas sneaker manufacturing, the process of attaching the upper to the sole. This is typically done by wrapping foxing along the bottom. ...
  14. (Vulcanization) The curing portion of the tire manufacturing process when the tire is inserted into a press and heated to encourage polymer bonding and cross-linking.
  15. (Vulcanization) The linking together, under heat and pressure, of rubber compound polymers which changes material from a sticky, putty-like substance to an elastic, bouncy substance.
  16. (Vulcanization) The treatment of rubber with sulphur compounds in order to change its physical properties; a process used in the manufacture and repair of tyres, conveyor belting etc.
  17. (Vulcanization) the process of permanently changing a rubber or urethane compound to a cured state with heat and pressure and the appropriate facilitating chemicals to initiate the chemical crosslinking process.
  18. by analogy to the manufacturing process, to increase the strength, durability, elasticity, or hardness of someone or something; to make impervious or invulnerable by shielding or immunization, as made literally or figuratively BULLETPROOF, or to acquire "shit repellent". ...
  19. To improve the strength, resiliency, and freedom from stickiness and odor of rubber, for example, by combining with sulfur or other additives in the presence of heat and pressure.
  20. nized; -niz·ing : to produce flexible or hard rubber, as desired, by subjecting caoutchouc, in the presence of sulfur, to heat and high steam pressure in a processing unit, termed a vulcanizer, made for that purpose
  21. The process of treating crude or synthetic rubber with heat and pressure to give it useful properties, such as elasticity, strength and stability.
