High UV intensity from the number of cycles of radiation would increase the risk of
overcuring, and consequently of degradation to the cured films.
With multiple parts often being produced in the same moulding cycle, there is the potential risk of undercuring or
overcuring parts.
For the compounds that had received anaerobic
overcuring or aging, the change in weight could not be ascertained as specimens remained in the mold during aging, and flash became a complicating factor.
overcuring, warping, or bad trimming) can be shown on a pie chart for each shift or other period.
These include the use of N- nitrosamine-blocking agents such as ascorbates and [alpha]-tocopherol, or a lowering of the addition level of nitrite in order to prevent
overcuring with its undesirable consequences.
Overcuring leads to such problems as low "elongation at break" while undercuring yields a low tear resistance.
