A process for manufacturing a self-sealing elastomer composition, said process comprising the following steps: a masterbatch, comprising at least one diene elastomer and more than 30 phr of a hydrocarbon resin, is firstly manufactured by compounding these various components in a mixer at a temperature or up to a temperature called the “hot compounding” temperature which is above the softening point of the hydrocarbon resin; and then at least one crosslinking system is incorporated into the masterbatch thus prepared, by compounding everything in the same mixer or in a different mixer, at a temperature or up to a temperature which is kept below 100° C., in order to obtain said self-sealing composition.
摘要:
Process for the manufacture of an elastomer composition having a self-sealing property which is based on at least (phr meaning parts by weight per 100 parts of solid elastomer): a blend of at least two solid elastomers, a polybutadiene or butadiene copolymer elastomer, referred to as “elastomer A”, and a natural rubber or synthetic polyisoprene elastomer, referred to as “elastomer B”, the elastomer A:elastomer B ratio by weight being within a range from 10:90 to 90:10; between 30 and 90 phr of a hydrocarbon resin; from 0 to less than 30 phr of filler, in which, during a first stage or stage (a), a masterbatch comprising at least the elastomers A and B and between 30 and 90 phr of a hydrocarbon resin is prepared by mixing these various components in a mixer at a “hot compounding” temperature or up to a “hot compounding” temperature which is greater than the softening temperature of the hydrocarbon resin.
摘要:
Process for manufacturing a self-sealing elastomer composition, wherein the process comprises the following steps: firstly a masterbatch comprising at least one diene elastomer and a thermoplastic plasticizing hydrocarbon resin with a content greater than 30 phr is manufactured by compounding these various components in a mixer at a temperature or up to a temperature called the “hot compounding temperature” which is above the softening point of the hydrocarbon resin; and then at least one crosslinking system is incorporated into the masterbatch thus prepared, by compounding everything, in the same mixer or in a different mixer, at a temperature or up to a maximum temperature which is kept below 100° C., in order to obtain said self-sealing composition, and wherein at least one liquid plasticizer having a glass transition temperature (Tg) below −20° C. is furthermore incorporated in an amount of less than 60 phr into said masterbatch or into said composition.
摘要:
A tread (B) provided with a tread pattern formed of a plurality of elements in relief (1, 10) which are defined by grooves and/or incisions (2), this tread pattern comprising on each of its edges, that is to say axially furthest to the outside of the tread, an edge rib (1) of circumferential orientation defined axially to the inside by a groove (2) of the same general orientation and of depth H, this tread furthermore comprising, axially to the outside of each edge rib (1), a rib (3) offset relative to the outer contact surface (11) of the neighboring edge rib (1) by a distance d other than zero, this offset rib (3) being separated from the edge rib (1) by a groove (4) of a depth identical or close to the depth H of the groove (2) defining the edge rib (1), wherein the tread comprises, on either side where a sacrificed rib (3) is formed, a plurality of channels (5) opening on to the lateral faces of the tread, these channels (5) being extended in the tread until they open into the groove (4) between the offset rib (3) and the neighboring edge rib (1).

A tread (1) comprising a tread pattern formed of elements in relief (3, 31) defined by grooves (2), at least one of said grooves being oriented in the longitudinal direction of the tread and having a depth H; this tread comprising, axially to the outside of at least one of its edges, at least one element in relief (4), referred to as a “protective element”, having a contact surface (41) which is offset towards the inside of the tread relative to the contact surface (30) of the element(s) in relief (3) which it protects from irregular wear; this element is connected to the protected element (3) by at least one rubber connecting bridge (6) connecting the facing lateral faces (42, 32) of said elements.
摘要:
An elastomer composition having a self-sealing property includes: a blend of at least two solid elastomers, in which “elastomer A” is a polybutadiene or butadiene copolymer elastomer, in which “elastomer B” is a natural rubber or synthetic polyisoprene elastomer, and in which an elastomer A:elastomer B weight ratio is within a range from 10:90 to 90:10; between 30 and 90 phr of a hydrocarbon resin, with phr meaning parts by weight per 100 parts of solid elastomer; and from 0 to less than 120 phr of filler, which includes from 0 to less than 30 phr of reinforcing filler. The composition may be used to form a puncture-resistant layer in an inflatable article, such as a tyre. The puncture-resistant layer may be used in combination with an airtight layer to form an airtight and puncture-resistant laminate for the inflatable article.
