The use of maleic acid semi-esters and fumaric ac1d semi-esters and their salts for reducing nitrosamine formations in sulphur vulcanization This invention relates to the use of maleic acid semi-esters and fumaric acid semi-esters and their salts, in particu1ar their zinc salts, for reducing the nitrosamine content in rubber vulcanizates produced by sulphur vulcanization.
When rubbers are mixed with vulcanizing systems containing compounds having chemically bound nitrogen (e.g. sulphur donors or accelerators selected from thiuramic compounds or vulcanization accelerators selected from thiazole compounds) there is a risk of unwanted formation of nitrosamines, and this risk is even greater when these rubber masses undergo vulcanisation. Owing to the carcinogenic effect of nitrosamines, it would be desirable to be able to produce rubber masses and vulcanizates containing little or no nitrosamine.
Whereas sulphur donors, for example, can often easily be replaced by elementary sulphur, no nitrogen-free vulcan-ization accelerator has yet been found which is aseffective as the substances hitherto used~
Le A 28 006 - Foreign Countries 2~
So long as no such highly effective vulcanization accelerators free from nitrogen are available, it is also of interest to find additives which either suppress nitrosamine formation or absorb the nitrosamines by a chemical reaction. One such compound which has been described is ~-tocopherol (Kautschuk + Gummi-Kunststoffe 43 (1990) 95-106). The high cost of ~-tocopherol, however, would stand against its use on a large technical scale in the rubber industry.
It has now surprisingly been found that maleic acid semi-esters and their salts are eminently suitable for this purpose.
The present invention thus relates to the use of maleic acid semi-esters and fumaric acid semi-esters corresponding to the following formula HC - COOHHC COOH
HC COORROOC!CH
(Ia) (Ib) and their salts, wherein R denotes an organic group having 1 to 18, preferably 4 to 18 carbon atoms, for reducing the nitrosamine content of rubber vulcaniz-ates produced by sulphur vulcanization.
The preferred maleic acid semi-esters and fumaric acid semi-esters include semi-esters of C1-C22, preferably C4-C18 alcohols. The alcohol components of the semi-esters may be aliphatic, cyclo-aliphatic or aromatic;
they may contain (cyclo)olefinic C=C double bonds and halogen substituents, e.g. chlorine Le A 28 006 3 ~c~s~
substituents, and they may be linear or branched.
Preferred alcohol components include methanol, isopropan-ol, n-iso- and tert.-butanol, hexanols, octanols, stearyl alcohol, allyl alcohol, cyclohexanol, benzyl alcohol and phenol; the mono-n-butyl-, octyl-, ethylhexyl- and allyl esters of maleic acid are particularly preferred.
The cations of the semi-ester salts to be used according to the invention are preferably derived from alkali metals and alkaline earth metals and zinc, the zinc salts being particularly preferred as they also have a positive influence on the Mooney viscosity, the compression set, the resistance to hot air ageing and the strength of the vulcanizates.
The maleic acid semi-ester and fumaric acid semi-ester (salt)s to be used according to the invention may be put into the process in quantities of from 0.5 to 8% by weight, preferably from l to 6, in particular from 1.5 to 4% by weight, based on the rubber.
Rubbers suitable for the use according to the invention include synthetic rubbers as well as natural rubbers.
Preferred synthetic rubbers have been described, for example, by W.Hofmann, in Kautschuk-Technologie, Gentner Verlag, Stuttgart 1980. They include inter alia the following:
EPDM - ethylene/propylene/diene terpolymers 25 IIR - butyl rubber BR - polybutadiene Le A 28 006 4 ~53~
ABR - butadiene/acrylic acid-Cl-C4-alkyl ester copolymers having acrylic ester contents of from 5 to 60, preferably from 15 to 50% by weight 5 CR - polychloroprene IR - polyisoprene SBR - styrene/butadiene copolymers having styrene contents of from 1 to 60%by weight, preferably from 20 to 50% by weight NBR - butadiene/acrylonitrile copolymers having acrvlonitrile contents of from 5 to 60, preferably from 10 to 50% by weight, and in particular 15 HNBR - hydrogenation products of NBR.
The rubbers generally have Mooney visco6ities (according to DIN 53 523) of from 5 to 140, preferably from 10 to 120, in particular from 20 to 80 (ML 1 + 4) 1009C and glass temperatures below 200C, preferably below 0C, determined by the torsion vibration test according to DIN
53 445.
EPDMs include rubbers in which the ratio by weight of ethylene to propylene groups is in the range of from 40:60 to 65:35 and which may have from 1 to 20 C=C double bonds per 1000 carbon atoms. The following are examples of suitable diene monomers in the EPDM: Conjugated dienes, e.g. isoprene and butadiene-(1,3), and non-conjugated dienes having 5 to 25 carbon atoms, e.g. 1,4-pentadiene, Le A 28 006 5 z~
1,4-hexadiene, 1,5-hexadiene, 2,5-dimethyl-1,5-hexadiene and 1,4-octadiene; cyclic dienes, e.g. cyclopentadiene, cyclohexadiene, cyclooctadiene and dicyclopentadiene;
alkylidene and alkenyl norbornenes, e.g. s-ethylidene-2-norbornene, 5-butylidene-2-norbornene, 2-methallyl-5-norbornene, 2-isopropenyl-5-norbornene and tricyclodienes.
The non-conjugated dienes, hexadiene-(1,5), ethylidene norbornene and dicyclopentadiene are preferred. ~he diene content in EPDM is preferably from 0.5 to lO~ by weight, based on the EPDM.
Such EPDM rubbers are described, for example, in DE-OS
2 808 709.
~he term "butyl rubber" used in the context of this invention includes isobutene copolymers of from 95 to 99.5~ by weight, pre~erably from 97.5 to 99.5% by weight, of isobutene and from 0.5 to 5% by weight, preferably from 0.5 to 2.5% by weight, of copolymerisable diene, e.g.
butadiene, dimethylbutadiene, pentadiene-(1,3) and in parti¢ular i~oprene. Butyl rubber ls produced on a large technical scale almost exclusively as the isobutene/iso-prene copolymer by cationic solution polymerisation at a low temperature; see e.g. Kir~-Othmer, Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 2nd Edition, Volume 7, page 688, Interscience Publishers, New York-London-Sydney, 1965, and Winnacker-Xuchler, Chemische Technologie, 4th Edition, Volume 6, pages 550-555, Carl Hanser Verlag, Munich-Vienna, 1962.
The polybutadienes include polybutadiene rubbers contain-ing from 20 to 100%, preferably from 30 to 100%, o~ the cis-1,4-structure, which may be obtained e.g. by butadiene polymerisation with the aid of catalysts based on lithium, Le A 28 006 6 nickel, titanium, cobalt, rare earths or uranium.
Polychloroprenes are chloroprene polymers which in addition to containing polymerised 2-chloroprene units may contain up to 30~ by weight, preferably up to 20% by weight, based on the chloroprene polymer, of copolymerised units of other ethylenically unsaturated monomers, in other words polychloroprenes such as those described, for example, in "Methoden der Organischen Chemie" (Houben-Weyl), Volume E20/2, 842-859, Georg Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart - New York 1987.
Preferred ethylenically unsaturated "other monomers" which can be copolymerised with chloroprene include compounds having 3 to 12 carbon atoms and 1 or 2 copolymerisable C=c double bonds per molecule. The following are examples of preferred "other monomers": Styrene 2,3-dichlorobuta-diene, 1-chlorobutadiene butadiene, isoprene, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, acrylonitrile and methacrylo-nltrlle. The most important comonomers are 2,3-dichloro-butadiene and 1-chlorobutadiene.
Preferred styrene/butadiene copolymers are those contain-ing from 18 to 60% by weight, pre~erably ~rom 20 to 50% by weight of styrene incorporated by polymerisation. Solution and emulsion polymers are particularly preferred.
Nitrile rubbers and hydrogenated nitrile rubbers include nitrile rubbers such as those described e.g. in Ullmanns Encyclopadie der technischen Chemie, Volume 13, Verlag Chemie, Weinheim-New York 1977, pages 611-614, and fully or partially hydrogenated nitrile rubbers such as those described e.g. in Die Angewandte ~akromolekulare Chemie 145/146 (1986) 161-179.
The term "nitrile rubber" is used to denote butadiene/-Le A 28 006 7 ~3 J31 acrylonitrile copolymers having a copolymerised acrylonitrile content of from 5 to 60% by weight, preferably from 10 to 50~ by weight. "Hydrogenated" means in this context that from 90 to 98.5%, preferably from 94 to 98%, of the C=C double bonds capable of being hydrogen-ated are hydrogenated while the C--N triple bonds of the nitrile groups are not hydrogenated. 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 and FR-PS 2 540 503.
Detailed descriptions of sulphur vulcanization systems are found in "Vulkanisation und Vulkanisationshilfsmittel" by W.Hofmann, Verlag Berliner Union GmbH, Stuttgart 1965, and in "Vulcanization of Elastomers" by Alliger and Sjothun, Reinhold Pub. Corp. New York 1964. Examples of suitable sulphur donors include thiuramic polysulphides such as dipentamethylene thiuramic tetra- and -hexasulphide and tetramethyl thiuramic disulphide; amine disulphides such a~ dimorpholyl disulphide; sodium polysulphides and thioplasts.
Pre~erred sulphur vulcanization systems contain a) sulphur or sulphur donors, b) optionally vulcanization accelerators and c) optionally one or more activators.
Component a) is generally used in a quantity corresponding to from 0.2 to 3.0% by weight of sulphur (calculated as the amount of sulphur liberated in the case o~ sulphur donors), based on the rubber. Sulphur modified polychlo-roprene may also function as sulphur donor.
Le A 28 006 8 ;~53~
The vulcaniztion accelerator b) is generally used in quantities of from 1 to 3.5% by weight, based on the rubber. Preferred vulcanization accelerators b) include thiazole accelerators, e.g.
2-mercaptobenzothiazole, dibenzothiazyl disulphide, benzothiazyl-2-cyclohexylsulphenamide ( CBS ), benzothiazyl-2-tert.-butylsulphenamide (TBBS), N-morpholinothio-2-benzothiazole (MBS), benzothiazyl-2-diisopropylsulphenamide ~DIBS), benzothiazyl-2-tert.-amylsulphenamide (AMZ), benzothiazyl-dicyclohexylsulphenamide (DCBS~ and morpholino-thiocarbonyl-sulphenemorpholide (OTOS).
Further examples of-preferred vulcanization accelerators b) include diphenylguanidine ( DPG) and di-o-tolylguanidine (DOTG); thiurams such as thiuramic mono- and disulphides;
dith~ocarbamates and thiophosphates and their derivatives and salts, e.g. their zinc salts.
The most important activators c) are metal oxides, in particular zinc oxide. Magnesium oxide or calcium hydroxide is also used in some cases.
Fillers such as carbon black, plasticizers, age resistors and/or processing auxiliaries may be added to the rubbers in the usual guantities before vulcanization.
The processing auxiliaries used may be, for example, fatty acids, e.g. stearic acid.
Mixing of the components may be carried out in convention-al mixing apparatus.
Le A 28 006 9 2~3~
The preferred mixing apparatus are those conventionally used in the rubber industry, such as kneaders, rollers, internal mixers and mixing extruders, which generally operate at shear rates of from 1 to 1000 sec~l, preferably from 1 to 200 sec~l.
Vulcanization may be carried out at temperatures of from 100 to 200QC, preferably from 130 to 180~C, optionally under a pressure of from 10 to 200 bar. The vulcanizates may be tempered by storage at elevated temperatures after they have been vulcanized.
"Vulcanized" in the context of this invention means that less than 10% by weight, preferably less than 5% by weight, based on the rubber, can be extracted in the course of 10 hours' extraction with toluene in a Soxhlet apparatus.

The use of maleic acid semi-esters and fumaric ac1d semi-esters and their salts for reducing nitrosamine formations in sulphur vulcanization This invention relates to the use of maleic acid semi-esters and fumaric acid semi-esters and their salts, in particu1ar their zinc salts, for reducing the nitrosamine content in rubber vulcanizates produced by sulphur vulcanization.
When rubbers are mixed with vulcanizing systems containing compounds having chemically bound nitrogen (e.g. sulphur donors or accelerators selected from thiuramic compounds or vulcanization accelerators selected from thiazole compounds) there is a risk of unwanted formation of nitrosamines, and this risk is even greater when these rubber masses undergo vulcanisation. Owing to the carcinogenic effect of nitrosamines, it would be desirable to be able to produce rubber masses and vulcanizates containing little or no nitrosamine.
Whereas sulphur donors, for example, can often easily be replaced by elementary sulphur, no nitrogen-free vulcan-ization accelerator has yet been found which is aseffective as the substances hitherto used~
Le A 28 006 - Foreign Countries 2~
So long as no such highly effective vulcanization accelerators free from nitrogen are available, it is also of interest to find additives which either suppress nitrosamine formation or absorb the nitrosamines by a chemical reaction. One such compound which has been described is ~-tocopherol (Kautschuk + Gummi-Kunststoffe 43 (1990) 95-106). The high cost of ~-tocopherol, however, would stand against its use on a large technical scale in the rubber industry.
It has now surprisingly been found that maleic acid semi-esters and their salts are eminently suitable for this purpose.
The present invention thus relates to the use of maleic acid semi-esters and fumaric acid semi-esters corresponding to the following formula HC - COOHHC COOH
HC COORROOC!CH
(Ia) (Ib) and their salts, wherein R denotes an organic group having 1 to 18, preferably 4 to 18 carbon atoms, for reducing the nitrosamine content of rubber vulcaniz-ates produced by sulphur vulcanization.
The preferred maleic acid semi-esters and fumaric acid semi-esters include semi-esters of C1-C22, preferably C4-C18 alcohols. The alcohol components of the semi-esters may be aliphatic, cyclo-aliphatic or aromatic;
they may contain (cyclo)olefinic C=C double bonds and halogen substituents, e.g. chlorine Le A 28 006 3 ~c~s~
substituents, and they may be linear or branched.
Preferred alcohol components include methanol, isopropan-ol, n-iso- and tert.-butanol, hexanols, octanols, stearyl alcohol, allyl alcohol, cyclohexanol, benzyl alcohol and phenol; the mono-n-butyl-, octyl-, ethylhexyl- and allyl esters of maleic acid are particularly preferred.
The cations of the semi-ester salts to be used according to the invention are preferably derived from alkali metals and alkaline earth metals and zinc, the zinc salts being particularly preferred as they also have a positive influence on the Mooney viscosity, the compression set, the resistance to hot air ageing and the strength of the vulcanizates.
The maleic acid semi-ester and fumaric acid semi-ester (salt)s to be used according to the invention may be put into the process in quantities of from 0.5 to 8% by weight, preferably from l to 6, in particular from 1.5 to 4% by weight, based on the rubber.
Rubbers suitable for the use according to the invention include synthetic rubbers as well as natural rubbers.
Preferred synthetic rubbers have been described, for example, by W.Hofmann, in Kautschuk-Technologie, Gentner Verlag, Stuttgart 1980. They include inter alia the following:
EPDM - ethylene/propylene/diene terpolymers 25 IIR - butyl rubber BR - polybutadiene Le A 28 006 4 ~53~
ABR - butadiene/acrylic acid-Cl-C4-alkyl ester copolymers having acrylic ester contents of from 5 to 60, preferably from 15 to 50% by weight 5 CR - polychloroprene IR - polyisoprene SBR - styrene/butadiene copolymers having styrene contents of from 1 to 60%by weight, preferably from 20 to 50% by weight NBR - butadiene/acrylonitrile copolymers having acrvlonitrile contents of from 5 to 60, preferably from 10 to 50% by weight, and in particular 15 HNBR - hydrogenation products of NBR.
The rubbers generally have Mooney visco6ities (according to DIN 53 523) of from 5 to 140, preferably from 10 to 120, in particular from 20 to 80 (ML 1 + 4) 1009C and glass temperatures below 200C, preferably below 0C, determined by the torsion vibration test according to DIN
53 445.
EPDMs include rubbers in which the ratio by weight of ethylene to propylene groups is in the range of from 40:60 to 65:35 and which may have from 1 to 20 C=C double bonds per 1000 carbon atoms. The following are examples of suitable diene monomers in the EPDM: Conjugated dienes, e.g. isoprene and butadiene-(1,3), and non-conjugated dienes having 5 to 25 carbon atoms, e.g. 1,4-pentadiene, Le A 28 006 5 z~
1,4-hexadiene, 1,5-hexadiene, 2,5-dimethyl-1,5-hexadiene and 1,4-octadiene; cyclic dienes, e.g. cyclopentadiene, cyclohexadiene, cyclooctadiene and dicyclopentadiene;

The non-conjugated dienes, hexadiene-(1,5), ethylidene norbornene and dicyclopentadiene are preferred. ~he diene content in EPDM is preferably from 0.5 to lO~ by weight, based on the EPDM.
Such EPDM rubbers are described, for example, in DE-OS

~he term "butyl rubber" used in the context of this invention includes isobutene copolymers of from 95 to 99.5~ by weight, pre~erably from 97.5 to 99.5% by weight, of isobutene and from 0.5 to 5% by weight, preferably from 0.5 to 2.5% by weight, of copolymerisable diene, e.g.
butadiene, dimethylbutadiene, pentadiene-(1,3) and in parti¢ular i~oprene. Butyl rubber ls produced on a large technical scale almost exclusively as the isobutene/iso-prene copolymer by cationic solution polymerisation at a low temperature; see e.g. Kir~-Othmer, Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 2nd Edition, Volume 7, page 688, Interscience Publishers, New York-London-Sydney, 1965, and Winnacker-Xuchler, Chemische Technologie, 4th Edition, Volume 6, pages 550-555, Carl Hanser Verlag, Munich-Vienna, 1962.
The polybutadienes include polybutadiene rubbers contain-ing from 20 to 100%, preferably from 30 to 100%, o~ the cis-1,4-structure, which may be obtained e.g. by butadiene polymerisation with the aid of catalysts based on lithium, Le A 28 006 6 nickel, titanium, cobalt, rare earths or uranium.
Polychloroprenes are chloroprene polymers which in addition to containing polymerised 2-chloroprene units may contain up to 30~ by weight, preferably up to 20% by weight, based on the chloroprene polymer, of copolymerised units of other ethylenically unsaturated monomers, in other words polychloroprenes such as those described, for example, in "Methoden der Organischen Chemie" (Houben-Weyl), Volume E20/2, 842-859, Georg Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart - New York 1987.
Preferred ethylenically unsaturated "other monomers" which can be copolymerised with chloroprene include compounds having 3 to 12 carbon atoms and 1 or 2 copolymerisable C=c double bonds per molecule. The following are examples of preferred "other monomers": Styrene 2,3-dichlorobuta-diene, 1-chlorobutadiene butadiene, isoprene, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, acrylonitrile and methacrylo-nltrlle. The most important comonomers are 2,3-dichloro-butadiene and 1-chlorobutadiene.
Preferred styrene/butadiene copolymers are those contain-ing from 18 to 60% by weight, pre~erably ~rom 20 to 50% by weight of styrene incorporated by polymerisation. Solution and emulsion polymers are particularly preferred.
Nitrile rubbers and hydrogenated nitrile rubbers include nitrile rubbers such as those described e.g. in Ullmanns Encyclopadie der technischen Chemie, Volume 13, Verlag Chemie, Weinheim-New York 1977, pages 611-614, and fully or partially hydrogenated nitrile rubbers such as those described e.g. in Die Angewandte ~akromolekulare Chemie 145/146 (1986) 161-179.
The term "nitrile rubber" is used to denote butadiene/-Le A 28 006 7 ~3 J31 acrylonitrile copolymers having a copolymerised acrylonitrile content of from 5 to 60% by weight, preferably from 10 to 50~ by weight. "Hydrogenated" means in this context that from 90 to 98.5%, preferably from 94 to 98%, of the C=C double bonds capable of being hydrogen-ated are hydrogenated while the C--N triple bonds of the nitrile groups are not hydrogenated. 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 and FR-PS 2 540 503.
Detailed descriptions of sulphur vulcanization systems are found in "Vulkanisation und Vulkanisationshilfsmittel" by W.Hofmann, Verlag Berliner Union GmbH, Stuttgart 1965, and in "Vulcanization of Elastomers" by Alliger and Sjothun, Reinhold Pub. Corp. New York 1964. Examples of suitable sulphur donors include thiuramic polysulphides such as dipentamethylene thiuramic tetra- and -hexasulphide and tetramethyl thiuramic disulphide; amine disulphides such a~ dimorpholyl disulphide; sodium polysulphides and thioplasts.
Pre~erred sulphur vulcanization systems contain a) sulphur or sulphur donors, b) optionally vulcanization accelerators and c) optionally one or more activators.
Component a) is generally used in a quantity corresponding to from 0.2 to 3.0% by weight of sulphur (calculated as the amount of sulphur liberated in the case o~ sulphur donors), based on the rubber. Sulphur modified polychlo-roprene may also function as sulphur donor.
Le A 28 006 8 ;~53~
The vulcaniztion accelerator b) is generally used in quantities of from 1 to 3.5% by weight, based on the rubber. Preferred vulcanization accelerators b) include thiazole accelerators, e.g.

The most important activators c) are metal oxides, in particular zinc oxide. Magnesium oxide or calcium hydroxide is also used in some cases.
Fillers such as carbon black, plasticizers, age resistors and/or processing auxiliaries may be added to the rubbers in the usual guantities before vulcanization.
The processing auxiliaries used may be, for example, fatty acids, e.g. stearic acid.
Mixing of the components may be carried out in convention-al mixing apparatus.
Le A 28 006 9 2~3~
The preferred mixing apparatus are those conventionally used in the rubber industry, such as kneaders, rollers, internal mixers and mixing extruders, which generally operate at shear rates of from 1 to 1000 sec~l, preferably from 1 to 200 sec~l.
Vulcanization may be carried out at temperatures of from 100 to 200QC, preferably from 130 to 180~C, optionally under a pressure of from 10 to 200 bar. The vulcanizates may be tempered by storage at elevated temperatures after they have been vulcanized.
