Popis: The effect of white fly ash (WFA) on cure characteristics and tensile properties of natural rubber compounds were investigated in the range of 0 to 30 phr. The size of WFA that is used in this study was 45-75 μm. Based on the result, it is found that the scorch time and cure time decreased with increasing of WFA loading. The tensile strength gradually increased to the maximum at 5 phr WFA. The further increase of WFA loading led to the decrease in tensile strength. Tensile properties such as M100 (stress at 100 % elongation) was gradually increased with the increasing of WFA loading, meanwhile, the elongation break showed a decreasing trend.
