Chemical treatment of rubber, wood, leather or metal which protects, preserves and renews the surface of the material. An alternative to carbon black.

This document describes a process for protecting, preserving and renewing surfaces, especially rubber and other natural and synthetic polymers including wood, leather, painted surfaces and metal. The material to be treated is soaked with an aqueous solution of substituted or unsubstituted dimethylpolysiloxane. This is done in several stages with other solutions such as diethylene glycol and/or glycerine. This treatment reduces the impact of deleterious effects such as ozone, ultraviolet radiation and environmental causes to the appearance of especially rubber parts used for example in automobiles.
