Rubber turns white due to a phenomenon known as "blooming," which occurs when certain additives, such as waxes or processing aids, migrate to the surface over time. This process can be accelerated by exposure to heat, light, or ozone. The white appearance is often a result of oxidation or the breakdown of the rubber's chemical structure. In some cases, it can also indicate wear or degradation, particularly in outdoor or aging rubber products.
