The objectives of this study were to find out the effect of temperature and long storage to the characteristic of dock pads on the basis of National Standard of Indonesia 06-3568-2006 and to obtain the aging resistance of rubber compound. The usage formula of rubber compound was treatment A3P4 (9 phr of the extract of caesalpinia sappan wood and the mixture of quartz sand silica : calcium karbonat clamshell 75:25 phr). The experimental design uses some various temperatures of 60 oC, 70 oC and 80 oC and variation of time from one day until 7 days. The tested parameters were the hardness, tensile strength and elongation at break . The result of the study showed that the obtained hardness were 65-68 shore A, tensile strength were 26-30 N/mm2 and the elongation at break were 263-496%. The variety analysis showed that the hardness gave lack significant effect, meanwhile the temperature and time gave significant effect for the tensile strength parameter as well as the interaction. Futhermore, elongation at break parameter affected significantly toward the temperature, the time and intraction between them, Activated energy (EA) of the rubber compound hardness 5,994 K.kal/mol., the tensile strength was 6,915 K.kal/mol and elongation at break was 66,775 K.kal/mol, finally the aging resistance of rubber compound for the storage temperature of 60 oC was 48,08 days.Keywords : the extract of caesalpinia sappan wood, after ageing, rubber compound, calcium karbonat clamshell, quartz sand silicaAbstrakTujuan penelitian mengetahui pengaruh suhu dan lama penyimpanan terhadap karakteristik kompon bantalan dermaga sesuai SNI 06-3568-2006 dan mendapatkan umur usang kompon karet. Formula kompon karet yang digunakan perlakuan A3P4 (9 phr ekstrak kayu secang dan campuran silika pasir kuarsa : kulit kerang = 75:25). Rancangan percobaan dengan variasi suhu 60 oC, 70 oC dan 80 oC dan variasi waktu 1 hingga 7 hari. Parameter yang di uji Kekerasan, tegangan putus dan perpanjangan putus. Hasil penelitian untuk kekerasan 65-68 shore A, tegangan putus 22-30 N/mm2 dan perpanjangan putus 263-496%. Analisa keragaman untuk kekerasan memberikan pengaruh yang tidak signifikan, untuk parameter tegangan putus perlakuan suhu dan waktu berpengaruh secara signifikan sedangkan interaksi berpengaruh signifikan. Untuk parameter perpanjangan putus berpengaruh secara signifikan terhadap suhu, waktu dan interaksi keduanya. Energi aktivasi (EA) kompon karet kekerasan 5,994 K.kal/mol, tegangan putus 6,915 K.kal/mol dan perpanjangan putus 66,775 K.kal/mol. Umur usang kompon karet untuk variasi suhu penyimpanan 60 oC memberikan waktu 48,08 hari.Kata Kunci : ekstrak kayu secang, ketahanan usang, kompon karet, kulit kerang, silika pasir kuarsa
