A.
Abrasion Resistance
The ability of a rubber
compound to withstand
mechanical action, such as
rubbing, scraping or erosion,
which tends to remove
material progressively from
its surface.
Accelerated Ageing
A test method to represent
extended ageing of material
in a shorter amount of time.
For cellular rubber it is the
process of artificially
increasing time to measure
physical property changes.
This usually involves
exposure to air at an
elevated temperature.

Age Resistance
The resistance to deterioration by oxygen and ozone in the air, and by heat and light.
A variety of anti-oxidants are available which provide protection in differing degrees to these deteriorating factors.
ASTM D 1056-00
American Society For Testing and Materials.
This specification (D 1056) covers flexible cellular rubber products known as sponge rubbers and expanded rubbers. It is designed to provide certain physical property parameters and test methods for cellular rubber.
The 00 stands for the revision year 2000.
