The paper presents and analyses the basic principles in determining kinetic parameters of the elastomer material curing process on the basis of natural rubber (NR) of 40 H ShA hardness, where a sulphur system was used as a curing (vulcanization) agent. The process of curing an elastomer material mixture was characterized by a standard procedure of rheological investigation by using an oscillating disc and the differential scanning calorimetry.
