Abstract:
A method of producing a rubber compound, including a first mixing step of mixing at least one cross-linkable unsaturated-chain polymer base, silica, and a silane coupling agent in the mercaptoalkyl-silane class; and a final mixing step, in which a curing system is added to the mix. The silane coupling agent is used in adsorbed form on dibenzothiazyl disulphide.
Abstract:
A method of producing rubber compounds, in which the polymer base is composed partly of a first polymer material having a glass transition temperature of over −50° C., and partly of a second polymer material having a glass transition temperature of below −50° C. and silica as a filler. The method includes a preliminary first polymer material treating step, in which the first polymer material, a silica having a surface area of 80 to 135 m2/g, a silane bonding agent, and at least one nucleophile agent are mixed together; a preliminary second polymer material treating step, in which the second polymer material, a silica having a surface area of 150 to 220 m2/g, a silane bonding agent, and at least one nucleophile agent are mixed together; a mixing step, in which the compounds resulting from the preliminary treating steps are mixed together; and a final step, in which stearic acid and a curing system are added and mixed with the compound being produced.
Abstract:
A method of producing rubber compounds, in which the polymer base is composed partly of a first polymer material, which is either produced by emulsion polymerization or is natural rubber, and partly of a second polymer material produced by solution polymerization. The method includes a preliminary second polymer material treating step, in which the second polymer material, silica, a silane bonding agent, and at least one nucleophile agent are mixed with one another; a first mixing step, in which at least the first polymer material, silica, and a silane bonding agent are added to the compound resulting from the preliminary second polymer material treating step; and a second mixing step, in which stearic acid and a curing system are added to the compound being produced.
Abstract:
A method of producing a rubber compound, which includes mixing at least one cross-linkable unsaturated-chain polymer base, silica, a first type of silane coupling agent, and a second type of silane coupling agent. The second type of silane coupling agent is added to the mix after the first type of silane coupling agent has reacted with the silica. The first type of silane coupling agent is a trialkoxymercaptoalkyl-silane, and the second type of silane coupling agent is a mercaptosilane protected in the form of thioester.

Abstract:
A method of producing a tyre mix, including a first mixing step, in which a mix contains at least one cross-linkable unsaturated-chain polymer base, 10 to 100 phr of silica, and 1 to 20 phr of a silane bonding agent in the trialkoxymercaptoalkyl-silane class; and a final mixing step, in which a curing system is added to the mix. The silane bonding agent is used in adsorbed form on 0.5 to 2 phr of zinc oxide, and on 5 to 15 phr of carbon black. At the first mixing step, the mix contains 1 to 5 phr of one or more fatty acid derivatives, and, at the final mixing step, 1 to 2 phr of zinc oxide is added to the mix. The fatty acid derivatives are derived from condensation of a fatty acid, having a carbon number of 16 to 20, with an alcohol having a carbon number of 2 to 6, or with a primary or secondary amine having a carbon number of 2 to 6.
