FIELD: chemistry.
SUBSTANCE: method involves cutting a sample for analysis and analysing its chemical composition, from which the rubber brand is determined. The sample is cut such that it has pre-decomposition zones. Chemical composition is analysed from a fracture in the sample by X-ray spectral technique on a scanning electron microscope with an energy-dispersive spectrometer. The obtained data on chemical composition of the sample are compared with chemical composition of a known rubber brand or a rubber brand used as a reference.
EFFECT: high accuracy and objectivity of determining a rubber brand.
