Caucho
El texto describe aceites de petróleo para caucho. Contexto:
"[...] the degrading effect of oils on vulcanized rubber is put to use as a softener for unvulcanized rubber. Rubber, both natural and synthetic, is elastic in the raw state. It must be ***broken down*** by mechanical means to a more plastic state prior to adding the necessary compounding ingredients. Oils are added to accelerate the masticating effect which makes the rubber more workable and pliable."
¿Alguien sabe cuál sería el equivalente castellano de "broken down" en este contexto?
Gracias de antemano

I had thought of descompuesto, but I believe the above suggestions will work better here

Rubber Mill.
A rubber mill consists of two horizontal steel rolls revolving in opposite directions and at different speeds. Crude rubber is passed through the nip between the two revolving rolls. In this operation, the rubber is subjected to compression and shearing and is kneaded until it is properly broken down, in which condition it is soft and pliable. A great deal of heat is evolved during the milling process, and the steel rolls are therefore hollow to permit the circulation of cooling water. Breakdown of the rubber is more rapid if the rolls are kept cool. Oxygen, necessary to break down rubber on the mill, is furnished by the surrounding air. The larger mills have rolls 84 inches (213 cm) long and 26 inches (66 cm) in diameter. A 60- by 22-inch (152- by 56-cm) roll is also used extensively. An 84-inch mill can masticate and compound 170 pounds (77 kg) of rubber. The finished batch of stock weighs about 275 pounds (125 kg), varying with the compounding ingredients. Prior to 1925, most rubber was masticated on mills, but thereafter the mills were largely superseded by the Banbury mixer and the Gordon plasticator, which cost less to operate.
In accordance to this definition and other links, the rubber is not disintegrated or separated into compounds, but made more pliable, flexible.
I believe Robert is right.
