Temperature.

The optimum storage temperature is between 40° F and 80° F. High temperatures accelerate the deterioration of rubber products. Heat sources in storage rooms should be arranged so that the temperature of stored items never exceeds 120° F. Low temperature effects are neither as damaging nor as permanent, but rubber articles will stiffen. Care should be taken to avoid distorting them at temperatures below 30° F.
