Description

Method for producing rubber composition for tire
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a method for producing a rubber composition for a tire, which is excellent in hardness, low rolling resistance, and processability in addition to wet grip performance.
Background
Conventionally, a pneumatic tire is required to have excellent wet grip performance, excellent steering stability performance, and excellent fuel consumption performance (low rolling resistance) in order to improve safety. However, these characteristics are contradictory, and thus are difficult to satisfy at the same time. For example, it is known that a rubber composition for a tire is blended with silica to modify dynamic viscoelasticity characteristics in order to improve wet grip performance and low rolling resistance. However, when silica is blended, there is a problem that hardness is lower than when the same amount of carbon black is blended, and good driving stability cannot be obtained.
In order to further improve the wet grip performance and low rolling resistance of the rubber composition containing silica, it is known to blend a silane coupling agent or use silica having been subjected to surface treatment in advance in order to improve the dispersibility of silica in a diene rubber. However, when silica and a silane coupling agent are blended, the viscosity of the rubber composition may be increased and the processability may be lowered. Patent documents 1 and 2 propose to improve the dispersibility of silica by sequentially charging and/or separately kneading the constituent components of the rubber composition. However, the use of surface-treated silica or the successive charging and/or separate kneading has a problem of an increase in man-hours and an increase in production cost. Further, the problem of processability of the rubber composition is not necessarily sufficiently solved.

Disclosure of Invention
Problems to be solved by the invention
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a rubber composition for a tire, which has excellent hardness, low rolling resistance, and processability in addition to wet grip performance.
Means for solving the problems
The method for producing a rubber composition for a tire according to the present invention for achieving the above object is a method for producing a rubber composition comprising 100 parts by mass of a diene rubber, 30 to 220 parts by mass of silica and 3 to 50 parts by mass of an aromatic oil, and a silane coupling agent in an amount of 5 to 18% by mass relative to the amount of silica, wherein the silica, the silane coupling agent, and the aromatic oil are charged into a mixer together, mixed, and then the diene rubber is charged and kneaded.
ADVANTAGEOUS EFFECTS OF INVENTION
According to the production method of the present invention, since the total amount of silica, silane coupling agent, and aromatic oil is charged into the mixer and mixed, and then the diene rubber is charged and kneaded, the silica and silane coupling agent are easily brought into contact with each other, and the diene rubber is charged while the temperature of the mixer is lowered, and then a high shearing force is applied, so that the dispersibility of the silica can be further improved, and a rubber composition for a tire excellent in at least 1 selected from the group consisting of low rolling resistance, processability, and hardness in addition to wet grip performance can be obtained. Further, the pneumatic tire using the rubber composition for a tire can improve the wet performance and the steering stability by the excellent wet performance and the good hardness of the rubber composition for a tire.
In the production method of the present invention, carbon black may be put and mixed together with silica, a silane coupling agent, and an aromatic oil. The silica has a CTAB specific surface area of 150m2/g～300m2The ratio of the acid to the acid is preferably in terms of/g. The modified diene rubber may be contained in an amount of 40 mass% or more based on 100 mass% of the diene rubber.
In the production method of the present invention, a silane coupling agent represented by the general formula (1) can be used as the silane coupling agent. Further, zinc oxide may be added together with the diene rubber and mixed.

(in the formula (1), p represents an integer of 1 to 3, q represents an integer of 1 to 3, r represents an integer of 1 to 15, and t represents an integer of 0 to 2.)
In the production method of the present invention, when the mixing step in the first stage of mixing silica, a silane coupling agent and a diene rubber and the mixing step in the final stage of mixing a vulcanization-based compounding agent thereafter are performed, the mixing completion temperature in the mixing step in the first stage is preferably 150 ℃ or higher.
Detailed Description
Generally, a method for producing a rubber composition for a tire includes at least 2 steps of: a kneading step (first-stage mixing step) of mixing and kneading a diene rubber, silica, a silane coupling agent, zinc oxide, carbon black, an aromatic oil, and a compounding agent other than a vulcanization-based compounding agent; and a step (final-stage mixing step) of cooling the mixture obtained in the kneading step and then mixing a vulcanization-based compounding agent. The method for producing a rubber composition for a tire of the present invention is characterized in that the kneading step (first-stage mixing step) is composed of at least 2 steps including: 1, putting all the silicon dioxide, the silane coupling agent and the aromatic oil into a mixer for mixing; and a 2 nd charging/mixing step of charging and kneading the diene rubber in a mixer containing silica and a silane coupling agent after the 1 st charging/mixing step. The zinc oxide may be added and kneaded at the same time as the diene rubber, or may be added and kneaded while maintaining the kneading after the diene rubber is added.
The manufacturing method of the present invention starts the first stage mixing process by performing a step of charging and mixing the entire amounts of silica, silane coupling agent, and aromatic oil in a mixer 1 st time. Thereby, the silica and the silane coupling agent are easily brought into contact with each other, and the silane coupling agent acts on the silica more effectively. This reduces the number of steps and production cost as compared with the case where the surface treatment of silica is performed in a separate step in the related art. Further, by mixing silica, a silane coupling agent and an aromatic oil first, the temperature of the mixer can be lowered, and the temperature at the time of subsequently kneading the diene rubber can be lowered, whereby the kneading strength in the mixer can be increased, and the dispersibility of silica can be improved. In the conventional first-stage mixing step in which a diene rubber is first put into a mixer and kneaded, and then various compounding agents are put into the mixer and kneaded, the temperature in the mixer increases and the viscosity of the diene rubber decreases due to the kneading of the diene rubber, and therefore, a high shearing force cannot be applied when silica is put into the mixer and kneaded later, and thus silica cannot be dispersed well.
The amount of the silica and the silane coupling agent charged into the mixer is 5 to 18 mass%, preferably 6 to 15 mass%, based on the amount of the silica. By setting the amount of the silane coupling agent to 5% by mass or more of the amount of silica, the dispersion of silica can be improved. Further, by setting the amount of the silane coupling agent to 18 mass% or less of the amount of silica, condensation of the silane coupling agents can be suppressed, and a rubber composition having desired hardness and strength can be obtained.
The silica, the silane coupling agent and the aromatic oil may be mixed by a mixer generally used for producing a rubber composition for a tire. The form of the rotor constituting the mixer may be either a mesh type or a non-mesh type. The rotation speed of the rotor may be set to a normal rotation speed in the production of the rubber composition for a tire.
In the present invention, the temperature at which the silica, the silane coupling agent and the aromatic oil are mixed is preferably 20 to 90 ℃, more preferably 30 to 70 ℃ by adjusting the set temperature of the mixer and the initial temperature of the silica. In particular, by setting the upper limit temperature at the time of mixing to 70 ℃, the step of charging and kneading the diene rubber after this step can be performed, whereby the shearing force can be increased and the dispersibility of silica can be improved.
The time for mixing the silica, the silane coupling agent, and the aromatic oil may be preferably 5 seconds to 2 minutes, and more preferably 20 seconds to 90 seconds. By setting the mixing time to 20 seconds or more, the silica, the silane coupling agent, and the aromatic oil can be mixed and sufficiently contacted. Further, by setting the mixing time to 90 seconds or less, the decrease in productivity can be suppressed.
In the production method of the present invention, carbon black may be charged and mixed together with silica, a silane coupling agent, and an aromatic oil, and rolling resistance and abrasion resistance may be made smaller. The carbon black is preferably put into the mixer together with the silica, the silane coupling agent and the aromatic oil. The mixing conditions for charging the carbon black may be the same as described above.
In the present invention, the diene rubber is put into a mixer after mixing of the silica, the silane coupling agent and the aromatic oil is completed, and the mixture is kneaded. The diene rubber may be charged into the mixer under the usual charging conditions. The conditions for kneading the silica, the silane coupling agent, and the aromatic oil with the diene rubber may be within the usual ranges.
The compounding agents other than the vulcanization-based compounding agent, which are compounded in the rubber composition for a tire, may be simultaneously charged with the diene-based rubber and kneaded, or may be charged and mixed after the completion of the kneading of the diene-based rubber. Examples of compounding agents other than the vulcanization-based compounding agent include various additives generally used in rubber compositions for tires, such as an antioxidant, a plasticizer, a processing aid, a liquid polymer, a terpene-based resin, and a thermosetting resin. These compounding agents may be used in conventional general amounts as long as the object of the present invention is not impaired. For example, a filler other than silica such as carbon black and the diene rubber may be simultaneously introduced and kneaded, or so-called rubber aids such as zinc oxide, stearic acid, and an antioxidant may be simultaneously introduced and kneaded with the diene rubber, or after the completion of the kneading of the diene rubber, aromatic oil may be introduced and mixed.
In the present invention, after the kneading step (the first mixing step) of mixing and kneading the diene rubber, silica, the silane coupling agent, carbon black, the aromatic oil, and the compounding agent other than the vulcanization-based compounding agent, the step (the final mixing step) of cooling the obtained mixture and mixing the vulcanization-based compounding agent is performed. The mixing completion temperature in the first mixing step is not particularly limited, but is preferably 150 ℃ or higher, more preferably 150 to 170 ℃, and still more preferably 150 to 165 ℃. By setting the mixing completion temperature in the first mixing step to 150 ℃ or higher, the viscosity of the rubber composition can be reduced, and the processability can be further improved.
Examples of the vulcanization-based compounding agent include a vulcanization or crosslinking agent, a vulcanization accelerator, and a vulcanization retarder. The method of mixing the vulcanization-based compounding agent can be performed in the same manner as in the production method of a general rubber composition for a tire. Further, the second-stage mixing step of further kneading the mixture obtained in the first-stage mixing step and the third-stage mixing step may be performed before the final-stage mixing step. The second mixing step is a step of taking out the kneaded product from the mixer in the first mixing step, cooling the kneaded product as necessary, and then feeding the cooled kneaded product into the same mixer or another mixer to mix the kneaded product. The third mixing step is a step of mixing the mixture obtained in the second mixing step in the same manner as described above. In the second-stage mixing step and/or the third-stage mixing step, the mixture obtained in each of the preceding-stage mixing steps may be charged and mixed as it is, or a compounding agent may be further additionally charged and mixed to the mixture.
The rubber composition for a tire produced in the present invention contains 30 to 220 parts by mass of silica and 3 to 50 parts by mass of aromatic oil per 100 parts by mass of diene rubber, and contains a silane coupling agent in an amount of 5 to 18% by mass of the amount of silica.
The diene rubber is not particularly limited as long as it is a diene rubber used in a usual rubber composition for a tire, and examples thereof include natural rubber, isoprene rubber, butadiene rubber, styrene-isoprene-butadiene rubber, nitrile rubber and the like. Among them, natural rubber, butadiene rubber and styrene-butadiene rubber are preferable.
These diene rubbers may be diene rubbers in which the terminal and/or side chain of the molecular chain is modified with a functional group having a hetero atom. Examples of the hetero atom include oxygen, nitrogen, silicon, and sulfur islands. Further, the modified diene rubber may be one modified with an epoxy group, a carboxyl group, an amino group, a hydroxyl group, an alkoxy group, a silyl group, an amide group, an oxysilyl group, a silanol group, an isocyanate group, an isothiocyanate group, a carbonyl group, an aldehyde group, or the like as a functional group.
Examples of the modified diene rubber include epoxy-modified natural rubber, epoxy-modified isoprene rubber, amino-modified styrene-butadiene rubber, hydroxy-modified styrene-butadiene rubber, silyl-modified styrene-butadiene rubber, oxysilyl-modified styrene-butadiene rubber, silanol-modified styrene-butadiene rubber, imino-modified styrene-butadiene rubber, carboxy-modified styrene-butadiene rubber, tin-modified styrene-butadiene rubber, and epoxy-modified styrene-butadiene rubber.
The modified diene rubber is preferably contained in an amount of 30% by mass or more, more preferably 35% by mass or more, based on 100% by mass of the diene rubber. The modified diene rubber is preferably contained in an amount of 100% by mass or less, more preferably 95% by mass or less, and still more preferably 90% by mass or less. By setting the content of the modified diene rubber to 40% by mass or more, the dispersibility of silica can be further improved, and the wet grip performance, low rolling resistance, processability and abrasion resistance can be further improved.
The zinc oxide may be blended with zinc oxide which is generally used for a rubber composition for a tire. The amount of zinc oxide blended is preferably 1.0 to 5.0 parts by mass, more preferably 1.5 to 4.5 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the diene rubber. By setting the amount of zinc oxide to 1.5 parts by mass or more, deterioration of physical properties due to aging can be suppressed. Further, by making zinc oxide 4.5 parts by mass or less, the retardation of the vulcanization rate can be suppressed.
Examples of the silica include wet silica (hydrated silicic acid), dry silica (anhydrous silicic acid), calcium silicate, and aluminum silicate, and these can be used alone or in combination of 2 or more. Further, a surface-treated silica obtained by subjecting the surface of silica to surface treatment with a silane coupling agent can be used.
The CTAB adsorption specific surface area of the silica is not particularly limited, and is preferably 150m2/g～300m2G, more preferably 160m2/g～260m2The ratio of the acid to the acid is preferably in terms of/g. By making the CTAB adsorption specific surface area of the silica 150m2(ii) at least one of the rubber composition and the rubber composition has an abrasion resistance. Further, the CTAB adsorption specific surface area of the silica was set to 300m2Lower than g, the wet grip performance and the low rolling resistance can be improved. In the present specification, the CTAB specific surface area of the silica is a value determined by ISO 5794.
The silica is contained in an amount of 30 to 220 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the diene rubber. When importance is particularly attached to the abrasion resistance, it is preferable to add 30 to 180 parts by mass, and more preferably 70 to 140 parts by mass to 100 parts by mass of the diene rubber. When importance is attached to processability, the amount of the rubber is preferably 40 to 220 parts by mass, more preferably 50 to 200 parts by mass, based on 100 parts by mass of the diene rubber. By setting the amount of silica to 30 parts by mass or more, wet grip performance and low rolling resistance can be improved. Further, workability can be ensured by setting the amount of silica to 220 parts by mass or less, and abrasion resistance can be ensured by setting the amount of silica to 180 parts by mass or less.
The silane coupling agent is not particularly limited as long as it can be used for a rubber composition containing silica, and examples thereof include a silane coupling agent containing sulfur, a silane coupling agent containing an amino group, and the like. Further, a silane coupling agent represented by formula (1) and a polysiloxane represented by the average composition formula of formula (2) described later can be preferably used. Examples of the silane coupling agent include sulfur-containing silane coupling agents such as bis- (3-triethoxysilylpropyl) tetrasulfide, bis (3-triethoxysilylpropyl) disulfide, 3-trimethoxysilylpropylbenzothiazole tetrasulfide, gamma-mercaptopropyltriethoxysilane, 3-octanoylthiopropyltriethoxysilane, 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, N-2- (aminoethyl) -3-aminopropylmethyldimethoxysilane, N-2- (aminoethyl) -3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, 3-triethoxysilyl-N- (1, 3-dimethyl-butylidene) propylamine, Amino group-containing silane coupling agents such as N-phenyl-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane and hydrochloride of N- (vinylbenzyl) -2-aminoethyl-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane. These silane coupling agents may be used alone or in combination.
In the production method of the present invention, a silane coupling agent represented by the following formula (1) can be preferably used.

In the formula (1), p is preferably 2 to 3, more preferably 2, from the viewpoints that the affinity with silica is high, the processability of the rubber composition for a tire is good, and the dispersibility of silica in the rubber composition for a tire is good.

The method for producing the cyclic amine compound containing the piperazine derivative, morpholine derivative and thiomorpholine derivative is not particularly limited, and can be obtained by a usual production method. For example, the compound can be obtained by reacting at least 1 kind selected from piperazine, morpholine and thiomorpholine which may have substituents, and a hydrocarbon compound having 3 to 30 carbon atoms of at least 1 kind selected from a halogen atom (chlorine, bromine, iodine, etc.), an acid halide group (acid chloride group, acid bromide group, acid iodide group, etc.) and a glycidyloxy group, if necessary, in a solvent.

Further, as a method for producing a piperazine derivative having a (poly) oxyalkyl group, for example, a method in which a piperazine derivative having a hydroxyl group is reacted with an alkylene oxide in the presence of a metal alkoxide can be cited.
In the rubber composition for a tire, the amount of the cyclic amine compound blended is preferably 0.5 parts by mass or more, more preferably 0.5 to 10 parts by mass, and still more preferably 0.8 to 5 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the diene rubber. By setting the amount of the cyclic amine compound to 0.5 parts by mass or more, the rolling resistance can be reduced and the wet grip performance can be improved when the tire is manufactured.
Examples of the silane-based compound include alkylalkoxysilanes, such as monoalkyltrialkoxysilanes, dialkyldialkoxysilanes, and trialkylmonoalkoxysilanes. Among them, alkyltrialkoxysilanes are preferable, and alkyltriethoxysilane is more preferable.

Among them, from the viewpoint of compatibility with the diene rubber, an alkyl group having 8 to 10 carbon atoms is more preferable, and an octyl group or nonyl group is further preferable.
The amount of the alkyltriethoxysilane blended is preferably 0.5 to 10 mass%, more preferably 2 to 6 mass%, based on the amount of the silica blended. If the amount of the alkyltriethoxysilane is less than 0.5% by mass, the effect of inhibiting aggregation of silica and the effect of inhibiting increase in viscosity of the rubber composition cannot be sufficiently obtained. Further, if the amount of the alkyltriethoxysilane blended exceeds 10 mass%, the retention of the rubber composition on the roll increases. Further, the rolling resistance of the rubber composition may become large, and the abrasion resistance may be lowered.
The rubber composition for a tire of the present invention may contain various additives generally used in rubber compositions for a tire, such as a vulcanization or crosslinking agent, a vulcanization accelerator, an antioxidant, a plasticizer, a processing aid, a liquid polymer, a terpene resin, and a thermosetting resin, within a range not to impair the object of the present invention. Such additives can be kneaded by a general method to prepare a rubber composition, and used for vulcanization or crosslinking. The amount of these additives may be a conventional general amount unless the object of the present invention is not impaired.
The present invention will be further described with reference to the following examples, but the scope of the present invention is not limited to these examples.
Examples
Rubber compositions 10 to 19 having the compositions shown in table 4 were produced by different production methods. The rubber compositions prepared in the following examples and comparative examples had the compounding of the corresponding rubber compositions in Table 4 shown in the column of "recipe of rubber composition" in tables 1 to 3. The compounding of the rubber compositions in table 4 describes the compounding amount with respect to 100 parts by mass of the diene rubber (SBR and/or modified SBR), and describes the abbreviations of the respective components and whether or not they are charged into the mixer in which mixing step of the first stage and the final stage. For the first-stage mixing, the total amount of each component described in the column of "first-stage mixing" in table 4 was repeatedly charged and kneaded in a mixer (internal banbury mixer with a capacity of 1.7 liters, manufactured by kyoto steel company) in the order of "1 st charge", "2 nd charge" and "3 rd charge" shown in tables 1 to 3 to obtain a kneaded product, which was discharged from the mixer and cooled. After cooling, the kneaded mixture was put into a mixer again, and the ingredients described in the column "mixing at the final stage" in Table 4 were put and mixed, thereby preparing rubber compositions by 19 production methods (examples 1-1 to 1-14, Standard example 1, and comparative examples 1-1 to 1-4).
The temperature of the banbury mixer was adjusted to 60 ℃ and the mixing of the respective raw materials was started at normal temperature (23 ℃). In the first-stage mixing, as mixing conditions, the mixing time and the temperature after completion of mixing of the 1 st input of the components and the mixing initial temperature of the 2 nd input of the components are shown in tables 1 and 2. The mixing time of the components to be added at the 2 nd and 3 rd times was set to 1 minute. The kneaded product obtained in the first mixing step was cooled to 23 ℃ by air cooling outside the machine, and mixing with a vulcanizing agent was performed in a banbury mixer for 1.5 minutes.
The obtained rubber composition for a tire was vulcanized at 170 ℃ for 10 minutes using a mold (inner dimension; length 150mm, width 150mm, thickness 2mm) having a predetermined shape to prepare a vulcanized rubber test piece. The obtained vulcanized rubber test piece was used to measure wet performance, rolling resistance and abrasion resistance by the test methods shown below.
Wet road performance
The dynamic viscoelasticity of the vulcanized rubber test piece obtained was measured under the conditions of a tensile strain rate of 10. + -. 2%, a frequency of 20Hz, a temperature of 0 ℃ and a temperature of 60 ℃ using a viscoelasticity spectrophotometer manufactured by Wako K.K., to determine tan. delta. (0 ℃). The obtained results are shown in the columns of "wet performance" in tables 1 to 3 as an index in which the value of standard example 1 is 100. The larger the index of wet grip performance, the larger the tan. delta. (0 ℃ C.) and the more excellent the wet grip performance.
Hardness of
The resulting vulcanized rubber test piece was measured at a temperature of 20 ℃ by means of a type A durometer in accordance with JIS K6253. The results obtained are used as a standard example1The value of (d) is expressed in the column of "hardness" in tables 1 to 3 as an index of 100. The larger the index, the higher the hardness. Further, it shows that the steering stability is excellent when the tire is manufactured.

As is clear from tables 1 to 3, it was confirmed that the rubber compositions obtained by the production methods of examples 1-1 to 1-14 can improve the wet performance (tan. delta. at 0 ℃ C.) and the hardness. In examples 1-11 to 1-14 in which the amount of silica was large, the wet performance (tan. delta. at 0 ℃) and the hardness were improved as compared with comparative examples 1-4 in which the amount of silica was increased in the standard example 1.
On the other hand, in the rubber composition obtained in comparative example 1-1, in the first stage of mixing, the silica was added and mixed only for the 1 st time and the silane coupling agent was not added for the 1 st time to the mixer, and therefore, the silica and the silane coupling agent did not react sufficiently, and the wet performance and the abrasion resistance could not be improved. Since the rubber composition obtained in comparative example 1-2 contained a large amount of aromatic oil, the hardness could not be sufficiently maintained even if silica, a silane coupling agent, and aromatic oil were added and mixed in the first mixing step 1 time in the mixer. In the rubber compositions obtained in comparative examples 1 to 3, only silica and a silane coupling agent were charged and mixed in the 1 st time of the mixing in the mixer in the first stage of the mixing, and the aromatic oil was not charged in the 1 st time, so that the wet performance was deteriorated. In the rubber compositions obtained in comparative examples 1 to 4, only silica and an aromatic oil were charged and mixed in the 1 st time of the first-stage mixing in the mixer, and the silane coupling agent was not charged in the 1 st time, so that the wet performance was deteriorated.
Rubber compositions 20 to 22 having the compositions shown in Table 7 were produced by different production methods. The rubber compositions prepared in the following examples and comparative examples had the compounding of the corresponding rubber compositions in Table 7 shown in the column of "recipe of rubber composition" in tables 5 to 6. The compounding amounts of the rubber compositions in table 7 are described with respect to 100 parts by mass of the diene rubber (SBR), and the abbreviations of the respective components and whether or not the components are charged into the mixer in any mixing step of the first stage, the second stage and the final stage are described. In the production of the rubber compositions other than examples 2 to 3 and comparative examples 2 to 3, in the first-stage mixing, all the amounts of the respective components described in the column of "first-stage mixing" in table 7 were charged into a mixer (internal banbury mixer having a capacity of 1.7 liters, manufactured by shenkou steel works) in the order of "1 st charge", "2 nd charge" and "3 rd charge" shown in tables 5 to 6, and kneaded to obtain a kneaded product, which was discharged from the mixer and cooled. After cooling, the kneaded mixture was put into a mixer again, and the ingredients described in the column "mixing at the final stage" in Table 7 were put into the mixer and mixed, thereby preparing a rubber composition by the production method 9 (examples 2-1, 2-2, 2-4 to 2-7, reference example 2, and comparative examples 2-1 to 2-2). In the production of the rubber compositions of examples 2 to 3 and comparative examples 2 to 3, in the first-stage mixing, the total amount of the components except for the coupling agent 1 and zinc oxide described in the column of "first-stage mixing" in table 7 was charged into a mixer (internal banbury mixer having a capacity of 1.7 liters, manufactured by shenkou steel works) in the order of "1 st charge", "2 nd charge" and "3 rd charge" shown in tables 5 to 6, kneaded to obtain a kneaded product, and the kneaded product was discharged from the mixer and cooled. After cooling, the kneaded mixture is again put into the mixer, and as the second-stage mixing, the coupling agent or zinc oxide is put into the mixer and kneaded to obtain a kneaded mixture, which is discharged from the mixer and cooled. After cooling, the kneaded mixture was put into the mixer again, and the ingredients described in the column entitled "mixing at the final stage" in Table 7 were put into the mixer and mixed, thereby preparing rubber compositions of examples 2 to 3 and comparative examples 2 to 3.
The temperature of the banbury mixer was adjusted to 60 ℃ and the mixing of the respective raw materials was started at normal temperature (23 ℃). In the first-stage mixing, as mixing conditions, the mixing time and the temperature after completion of mixing of the 1 st input of the components and the mixing initial temperature of the 2 nd input of the components are shown in tables 5 and 6. The mixing time of the components to be added at the 2 nd and 3 rd times was set to 1 minute. The kneaded material obtained in the first mixing step was cooled with air outside the machine until it became 23 ℃. In the second-stage mixing of examples 2 to 3 and comparative examples 2 to 3, the mixing time was set to 3 minutes as the mixing conditions, and the kneaded material obtained in the second-stage mixing was cooled by air passing through the outside of the machine until it became 23 ℃. The mixing after compounding the vulcanizing agents (mixing at the final stage) was carried out for 1.5 minutes by using a Banbury mixer.
The mooney viscosity of the obtained rubber composition for a tire was measured by the following method. Further, a rubber composition for a tire was vulcanized at 170 ℃ for 10 minutes using a mold (inner dimension; length 150mm, width 150mm, thickness 2mm) of a predetermined shape to prepare a vulcanized rubber test piece. The obtained vulcanized rubber test piece was used to measure wet performance, rolling resistance and abrasion resistance by the test methods shown below.
Mooney viscosity (processability)
According to JIS K6300-1: 2001, the Mooney viscosity of the rubber composition obtained was measured by using a Mooney viscometer using an L-shaped rotor under the conditions of a preheating time of 1 minute, a rotation time of 4 minutes of the rotor and 100 ℃. The results are shown in the columns of "workability" in tables 5 to 6, which are indicated by an index in which the value of Standard example 2 is 100. When the Mooney viscosity index is 95 or less, it means that the Mooney viscosity is low and the processability is good.
Wet road Property and Rolling resistance [ tan. delta. at 0 ℃ and 60 ]
The dynamic viscoelasticity of the vulcanized rubber test piece obtained was measured under the conditions of a tensile strain rate of 10. + -. 2%, a frequency of 20Hz, a temperature of 0 ℃ and a temperature of 60 ℃ using a viscoelasticity spectrophotometer manufactured by Wako K.K., to determine tan. delta. (0 ℃) and tan. delta. (60 ℃). The obtained results are shown in the columns of "wet performance" and "rolling resistance" in tables 5 to 6 as indexes in which the values of standard example 2 are 100, respectively. When the wet performance index is 110 or more, it means that tan. delta. (0 ℃ C.) is large and wet grip performance is excellent. When the index of rolling resistance is 95 or less, it shows that tan δ (60 ℃ C.) is small, heat build-up is low, and rolling resistance is small when a tire is produced.

As is clear from Table 6, it was confirmed that the rubber compositions obtained by the production methods of examples 2-1 to 2-7 can improve wet grip performance (tan. delta. at 0 ℃), low rolling resistance (tan. delta. at 60 ℃), and processability.
As is clear from table 5, in the method for producing the rubber composition of comparative example 2-1, the silane coupling agent charged 2 nd time was changed to the silane coupling agent 3 represented by the general formula (1) in the method for producing the rubber composition of the standard example, but the temperature of the mixer increased by the charging of the SBR1 st time, similarly to the method for producing the standard example. In the production method of comparative example 2-1, the effect of improving the wet performance of the rubber composition was inferior to that of the rubber compositions obtained in examples 2-1 to 2-7. In the method for producing the rubber composition of comparative example 2-2, the silane coupling agent charged at the 1 st time is not represented by the general formula (1), and therefore the effect of improving the wet performance and the rolling resistance of the rubber composition is inferior to those of the rubber compositions obtained in examples 2-1 to 2-7. In the method for producing the rubber compositions of comparative examples 2 to 3, zinc oxide was charged and mixed in the second mixing step, and therefore, the workability was poor.
