SULFUR-VULCANIZABLE RUBBER MIXTURES HAVING A REDUCED
BLOOMING EFFECT
A B S T R A C T

Description

SULF'UR-VULCANIZABI.E RUBBER MIXTURES H~VING A REDUCED
BLOOMING EFFECT

This invention relates to vulcanizable rubber mixtures containing sulfur as a vulcanizing agent; a thiuram c~mpound as an accelerator and a certain benzenesullanilide as an additive for reducing blooming, to a process for the pro-duction of these rubber mixtures by mixing of the compon-ents and to the use of these rubber mixtures for the pro-duction of vulcanizates.
It is known that vulcanization accelerators are sub-stances which shorten the vulcanization time or which enable vulcanization to be carried out at a relatively low temperature, cf. Ullmanns Encyclopadie der technischen Chemie, 3rd Edition, Urban & Schwarzenberg, Munchen-Berlin 1957, pages 383 et seq. Auxiliary accelerators are option-ally added to develop the full effectiveness of the vulcan-ization accelerators.
So-called "EV systems" ("EV" = efficient vulcaniza-tion) are often used for sulfur vulcanization, in which case thiuram compounds, such as tetraalkyl thiuram mono-sulfides (for example;tetramethyl thiuram monosulfide), tetraalkyl thiuram tetrasulfides (for examplejtetramethyl thiuram tetrasulfide) and, preferably, tetraalkyl thiuram disulfides (for examplej tetramethyl thiuram disulfide, hereinafter referred to as TMTD), are generally used as vulcanization accelerators. By virtue of their excellent effect, these thiuram compounds are also known as ultra-accelerators and lead in particular to high hot air resis-tance of the vulcanizates produced with them.
~hiuram compounds themselves,or the xeaction products formed therefrom during vulcanization; have a tendency towards blooming, resulting in an undesirable coating on `~-the vulcanizate. The tendency towards blooming is influ-enced inter ~li~ by the type of rubber and by the concen-Le A 26 355 tration of the thiuram compound (cf. W. Hofmann in Gummi-Asbest-Kunststoffe 9 (1986), pages 422 et ~g~.
Vulcanizates of rubber having a low conten~ of C=C
double bonds, such as EPDM, butyl rubber ana preferably nitrile rubber, of which the C-C double bonds are selec-tively hydrogenated either in part or completely, often have a low degree of crosslinking which is reflected in low modulus values and in a moderate compression set (CS) value, as measured after compression under heat, for example in hot air or in hot oil. There are limits to the extent to which the CS value can be increased by l~rger amounts of thiuram compound on account of the blooming phenomenon mentioned above.
It has now surprisingly been found that a vulcaniza-tion system containing sulfur in small guantities, thiuram accelerator and N-trichloromethyl sulfenyl benzenesulf-anilide cl3c-S---N---S02 ~

overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art.
: 25 Accordingly, the present invention relates to vulcan-izable rubber mixtures based on rubber of low c-c double bona content, cont~ining 0.2 to 1 % by weight sulfur, 1 to 3.5 % by weight thiuram accalerator and 0.1 to 3 ~ by weight and preferably 0.15 to 1% by weight N-trichloromethyl sulfenyl benzenesulfaniI~
ide, the percentages being based on the rubber to be vulcanized.
The present invention also relates to a process for the production of these rubber mixtures by mixing of the Le A 26 355 2 - . . . . .

20109~5 components and to their use for the production of vulcan-izates.
In the context of the invention, rubbers of low C-C
double bond content are those having iodine values of 2 to 35, preferably from 3 to 30 and more preferably from 5 to 25. The iodine values are generally determined by the Wijs method, i.e. by addition of iodine chloride in glacial acetic acid (DIN S3 241, Part 1). The iodine value defines the quantity of iodine in grams which is chemically bound by 100 g substance. Examples of preferred rubbers are EPDM, butyl rubber and, preferably, hydrogenated nitrile rubber.
The rubbers preferably have glass transition tempera-tures below 0-C and more especially below -10-C.
The letters "EPDM" stand for ethylene/propylene/diene terpolymers. EPDMs comprise rubbers in which the ratio by weight of ethylene to propylene residues is from 40:60 to 65:35 and which may contain from 1 to 20 C-C double bonds/
1,000 C atoms. Suitable diene monomers in the EPDM are, for example, conjugated dienes, for example isoprene and 1,3-butadiene, and unconjugated dienes containing from 5 to 25 C atoms, for example 1,4-pentadiene, 1,4-hexadiene, 1,5-hPxadiene, 2,5-dimethyl-1,5-hexadiene nd 1,4-octadiene;
cyclic dienes, for example cyclopentadiene, cyclohexadiene, cyclooctadiene and dicyclopentadiene; alkylidene and alkenyl norbornenes, for example 5-ethylidene-2-norbornene, 5-butylidene-2-norbornene, 2-methylallyl-5-norbornene, 2-isopro~enyl-5-norbornene and tricyclodienes.
The uncon~ugated dienes; 1,5-hexadiene, ethylidene norbornene and dicyclopentadiene;are preferred. The diene content of the EP~M i8 preferably from 0.5 to 10% by weight, based on EPDM.
EPDM rubbers of the type in questlon are described, for examFle, in DE-OS 2 808 709.
In the context of the invention, the term "butyl Le A 26 3S5 3 Z0~0905 rubber" encompasses isobutene copolymers of 95 to 99.5% by weight and preferably 97.5 to 99.5% by weight isobutene and 0.5 to 5% by weight and preferably 0.5 to 2.5% by weight copolymerizable diene, such as,for examplejbutadiene, di-methyl butadiene, 1,3-pentadiene, more especially isoprene.
On an industrial scale, butyl rubber is produced almost exclusively as an isobutene/isoprene copolymer by cationic solution polymerization at low temperatures; cf. for example Kirk-Othmer, Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 2nd Ed., Vol. 7, page 688, Intersciene Publ., New York/Lon-don/Sydney, 1965 and Winnacker-Xuchler, Chemische Technolo-gie, 4th Edition, Vol. 6, pages 550-555, Carl Hanser Verlag, Munchen-Wien 1962.
The preferred hydrogenated nitrile rubbers are based on butadiene/acrylonitrile copolymers containing from 5 to 60% by weight and preferably from 10 to 50% by weight copolymerized acrylonitrile. "Hydrogenated" in this context means that 90 to 98.5% and preferably 95 to 98% of the hydrogenatable C-C double bonds are hydrogenated. The degree of hydrogenation can be determined by IR-spectros- -copy. ' -The hydrogenation of nitrile rubber is known: US-PS
3,700,637, DE-OS 25 39 132, 30 46 008, 30 46 251, 32 27 650, 33 29 974, EP-A 111 412, FR-PS 2 540 503. Hydrogenat-ed nitrile rubber is distinguished above all by compara-tively high stability to oxidation.
The rubbers suitable for the process according to the invention generally have Mooney viscosities (DIN 53 523) of from 10 to 150 and preferably from 25 to 80 (ML 1+4)/100-C.
Preferred thiuram accelerators include the above-mentioned tetraalkyl thiuram mono- and polysulfides, the alkyl groups generally containing 1 to 4 and preferably 1 -or 2 C atoms.

commercially available, for example, as ~ ulkalent E (a product of Bayer AG, Leverkusen).
Vulcanization auxiliaries and, as required, scti-vators, filler6, such as for example carbon blac~, pIasticizer~, antiagers andtor processing aids, may be added in the uCual quantities before vulcanization.
Preferred vulcanization auxiliaries, which are generally used in quantities of from 0.1 to 2, prefer-ably from 0.2 to 1, X by weight (based on rubber), include thiazole accelerators, such as 2-mercapto-benzothiazole, dibenzothiazyl disulfide, benzothiazyl-2-cyclohexyl sulfenamide (CBS), benzothiazyl-2-tert.-butyl sulfenamide (TBBS), N-morpholinothio-2-benzothia-zol (MBS), benzothiazyl-2-diisopropyl sulfenamide (DIBS), benzothiazyl-2-tert.-amyl sulfenamide (AMZ), benzothiazyl dicyclohexyl ~ulfenamide (DCBS) and morpholinothioearbonyl sulfene morpholide (OTOS).
The mast significant inorganic activators are the metal oxides, particularly zinc oxide. In some cases, magnesium oxide or calcium hydroxide may also be used. -~
Suitable processing aids are, for example, fatty acids, such as stearic acid, for example, and their zinc ~alts which may cause an advantageous effect on the properties of the resulting vulcanizates.
The components may be m;xed in standard mixing units.
Preferred mixing units are the kneaders, rolls, internal mixers,and mixing extruders typically used in the rubber industry which generally oparste at shear rates of 1 to 1~000 sec~1 and preferably 1 to 20 sec~l.
Vulcanization may be carried out at temperatures in the range from 100 to 200C and preferably at temperatures in the range from 130 to 180C, opt;onally under a pres~ure of 10 to 200 bar.
