 Abstract. Experimental studies were conducted with the purpose to determine a cumulative effect of the aging processes on the elastic-dissipative properties of elastomers in the acidic aggressive environment. In particular, an impact of sulfuric acid with concentrations of 1.5%, 3%, 5% and 10% on the properties of rubber vibration isolators of the ВР201 type was studied. For each of the concentrations, three pairs of samples were tested, elastic-dissipative properties of which differed by not more than 3%. Static rigidity and dissipation factor were determined per each 500 hours. In result of the studies, lawful descriptions and functional interdependences never known before are established, which determine changes of rubber rigidity and dissipation factor in the considered conditions. A conclusion has been made that, in contrast to the natural aging, destruction process predominates when elastomers, made of rubber under the investigation, age in acidic aggressive environment. These dependencies can be applied for predicting durability of rubber elements and units operated in acidic aggressive environment.

Keywords: rubber elements and units, durability of elastomers, acidic aggressive environment, elastic-dissipative properties of rubber.
