"Degradation of natural rubber can be caused by a variety of
environmental factors, such as elevated temperature, humidity, impurities,
mechanical load, irradiation and chemicals. In the presence of atmospheric
oxygen, the useful lifetime of many polymer products is limited by oxidative
reactions.
Radical attack of the polymer chain causes chain scission, crosslink
formation and crosslink breakage. Changes in the properties of polymers with
ageing depend on the extent of such reactions."
It not only oxygen that kills a suspension. It's movement itself and the heat caused by it too. And there is another killer: time.
