Cure Time and Temperature:
Cure for thickness up to ¼”
| Pressure, Saturated Steam (Autoclave) | Slowly rise to (15psi) 250°F (121°C) Hold 2 hrs. @ (15psi) 250°F (121°C) |
| Internal Steam Cure | Slowly rise to (15psi) 250°F (121°C) Hold 5 hrs. @ (15psi) 250°F (121°C) |
| Atmosphere Steam Cure | 24 hrs @ 212°F (100°C) |
Note: All reference to cure psi represents gauge pressure.
**Cure times may require tunings to compensate for low temperatures, heavy metal thicknesses, and other anomalies. Contact SRR Technical Department for recommendation on thickness over ¼”
Storage
Ideal storage temperature is 50°F not to exceed 85°F and shelf life is 180 to 45 day range respectively.
Depending on storage conditions it may be possible to use rubber linings beyond shelf life. Please contact Salem-Republic Rubber Company for technical advisement before usage.

Application Suggestions
- Plying up lining thicker than 1/4″ is not recommended due to sagging during cure process.
- Warming rubber to approximately 120°F will aide in applying and is recommended.
- SR685 is a hard rubber compound, over-cure may cause brittleness.
- Experienced applicators may have techniques which produce equal or superior results and by no means are SRR’s application suggestions meant to replace these proven techniques. As long as those procedures fall within industry standard lining application guidelines.
