Which one of the following statements is not correct? Vulcanisation of rubber makes it - (1) soft and flexible (2) strong and hard (3) chemical resistant (4) withstand higher temperatures
(1) soft and flexible Explanation: In order to give more strength and more elasticity, natural rubber is heated with sulphur or sulphur compounds at 150°C temperature. Vulcanized rubber has good tensile strength. The working temperature of vulcanized rubber is enhanced up to 100°C. It has good resistance to organic solvents.
