They are made from the corresponding N, N'-substituted 2 ' 4-diamino-6-mercaptotriazines by oxidation such as iodine, sodium hypochlorite or hydrogen peroxide. The best known compound in this group is bis- (2-ethylamino-4-diethylaminotriazin-6-yl) disulfide. Disulfides of this group can be used in rubber mixtures as accelerators.

CS Patent No. 276,589 discloses tetrasulfides of Formula I

R ¹ represents a hydrogen atom, o "

R ⁴ is hydrogen or benzyl and each of R ² , R ³ and R ⁴ is C 1 -C 8 alkyl, preferably C 1 -C 4, which is branched or unbranched; allyl, C 3 -C 8 cycloalkyl optionally substituted with 1 to 3 methyl groups; 2-hydroxyethyl; 3-hydroxypropyl; Or 2-hydroxypropyl;

R ³ and R ⁴ together represent an alkylene group having 4 to 6 carbon atoms or a group of the formula wherein

- (ch ₂ -chx) ₂ y,

X is methyl or hydrogen; and

Y represents oxygen or sulfur.

These tetrasulfide was produced by an aqueous alkaline solution of the corresponding Ν, Ν'-substituted 2,4-diamino-6-mercaptotriazine is reacted in a two phase system with a solution of sulfur monochloride (S2C1 ₂₎ in an inert organic solvent in which the reaction insoluble or sparingly soluble product, at a temperature in the range of -5 ° C to <20 ° C, preferably at 10 ° C.

Preferably, an alkaline aqueous solution of mercaptotriazine is used which contains the alkali hydroxide in at least a stoichiometric amount relative to the reactions. Preferably, the alkaline solution contains an excess of alkaline hydroxide of 1 to 20 mol%, based on the mercaptotriazine used.

This solution is mixed with a solvent in which the end product of the reaction is insoluble or sparingly soluble, preferably with C 5 -C 10 alkanes or C 5 -C 8 cycloalkanes optionally substituted with 1 to 3 methyl groups, or mixtures thereof. The resulting mixture is vigorously stirred and cooled, preferably to + 10 ° C and sulfuric chloride (S ₂ Cl ₂ ) in the solvent used is added dropwise while cooling.

The sulfur trichloride is used at a ratio of at least 2 moles of mercaptotriazine per mole of sulfur trichloride, depending on the excess of alkali, but this ratio may also be 2: 1.1 to 1.2.

Under these conditions, sulfur trichloride (S ₂ Cl ₂ ) is exclusively condensing.

The blast product is separated by a known method and is preferably dried at a temperature of up to 50 ° C under vacuum.

The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of oligosulfides of the general formula II. ?. ⁴ ??

X..X \, X where \ -2

R ¹ , R ² , R ³ and R ⁴ are as defined above and

S _x represents a sulfur chain with a mean statistical length corresponding to n = 4.

These oligosulfide mixtures, also referred to hereinafter as disproportionates, as they are prepared by disproportionation of the tetrasulfides of formula (I), can be prepared by various methods.

The reaction conditions must be controlled in such a way that no free sulfur is formed.

One method is characterized in that the isolated tetrasulfide of formula (II) is heated above its melting point, preferably by 20 to 50 ° C.

According to another method, the tetrasulfide of formula II is dissolved in an inert organic solvent and disproportionate

the reaction is carried out at a temperature ranging from 20 ° C (the solution is allowed to stand at room temperature) to the boiling point of the solvent used.

A particularly elegant method is to react an aqueous alkaline solution of the corresponding Ν, Ν-substituted 2,4-diamino-6-mercaptotriazines in a two-phase system with a solution of sulfur trichloride in an inert organic solvent in which the tetrasulfide formed is soluble. The resulting linear tetrasulfide then immediately disproportionates to the composition of the invention.

Suitable solvents are, in particular, chlorinated hydrocarbons, for example methylene chloride or chloroform, but ethers, esters, aromatic hydrocarbons and ketones are also suitable for the disproportionation reaction in the absence of water. Alternatively, they can be used to form a two-phase mixture with water. The reaction conditions for the production of disproportionates are otherwise the same as those for the preparation of pure tetrasulfide.

The above-defined oligosulfides, i.e. the tetrasulfide disproportionates prepared according to the invention, have a similar effect to the corresponding tetrasulfides and as crosslinkers or vulcanization accelerators significantly exceed the standard compounds currently used.

The rubber industry has a wide variety of accelerators at its disposal (J. van Alphen, Rubber Chemicals (1977, pp. 1 to 46)), mainly used for sulfur vulcanization, for example benzthiazolylsulfonamides, benzthiazolyl disulfide and 2-mercaptobenzthiazole or zinc salts thereof. In addition, there are a number of special compounds, such as thiuram disulfides and peroxides, which act as crosslinkers even without the addition of sulfur, but are often used as accelerators in combination with sulfur. The method of use depends on the effect to be achieved in each case.

Benzthiazolylsulfenamides are currently of great importance in practical applications, including in particular the acceleration of vulcanization of elastomers.

Due to new manufacturing processes, new products and constant pressure on rationalization, the demands placed on accelerators have recently changed to such an extent that it can now be difficult to meet the qualitative requirements for the vulcanization process and vulcanizate properties using accelerators or crosslinking agents. which are currently available for accelerated sulfur vulcanization.

Another disadvantage of some conventional accelerators (for example some sulfenamides and thiurams) is that they can release amines during the vulcanization process which, if nitrosatable, lead to the formation of nitrosamines in the vulcanizate. If these accelerators lead to the formation of toxic nitrosamines, the potential for their application can be expected to decrease over time.

A major disadvantage of benzthiazolyl accelerators, especially benzthiazolylsulfenamides, is their tendency to reverse, which is becoming more pronounced with increasing vulcanization temperature with often inevitable overheating of the vulcanizates, in particular using types of rubber which are no longer prone to reversion such as natural rubber. and polyisoprene and mixtures thereof with synthetic rubbers. However, the situation is similar for synthetic rubbers of all kinds, unless the reverse process is covered by thermal sieving. Especially as the vulcanization temperature rises, the reversal rate increases so strongly that, firstly, even with optimum vulcanization, there is a noticeable decrease in crosslinking density; secondly, vulcanization optimum takes the form of peaks instead of plateau, making it extremely difficult to reproduce retention of optimal vulcanizate properties; , in many cases the re-vulcanization required leads to a decrease in the crosslinking density which cannot be avoided, which leads, in particular in the case of thick-walled rubber products, to the cross-linking of the vulcanizate not being uniform. As much as the reversal increases, the properties of the vulcanizate, such as the modulus at 300% elongation or abrasion resistance, deteriorate.

To some extent, it leads. reducing the proportion of sulfur and increasing the proportion of accelerator, i.e. the use of so-called Semi-EV systems (L. Bateman, 1963, The Chemistry and Physics of Rubber-Like Substances, pp. 522 et seq.), to alleviate said reverse effects. However, attenuation of this reversion is achieved through a change in the structure of the crosslinking (-S 4 -, -S-S- and -S- bonds) in favor of monosulfide crosslinking. structures, which may adversely affect the properties of the vulcanizate. This measure, however, is the less effective the higher the vulcanization temperature is.

These disadvantages of benzthiazole accelerators limit their applicability at increasing temperatures and to some extent limit the effort of the rubber industry to increase productivity using higher vulcanization temperatures.

Surprisingly, it has been found that the disproportionation products of N, N'-substituted bis- (2,4-diamino-s-triazin-6-yl) tetrasulfides prepared by the process of the invention are compounds which, when used as accelerators in sulfur vulcanization, thus, when used as crosslinkers, i.e. without the addition of sulfur, they impart an extremely high reverse stability even at very high overheating, even at high vulcanization temperatures. The otherwise customary reverse process using them either does not occur at all or to a small extent. In fact, the surprising fact that the cross-linking structures formed using the disproportionation products of N, N'-substituted bis- (2,4-diamino-s-triazin-6-yl) tetrasulfides of the formula II is exceptionally reversible and thermally stable results in their use in rubber mixtures even at high vulcanization temperatures to achieve a high level of physical-mechanical properties of the vulcanizate after completion of the cross-linking reaction and, on the other hand, to maintain a high level of physical-mechanical properties for a long time.

Together, these effects make it possible to increase productivity in the rubber industry by increasing the vulcanization temperature without causing loss of performance properties of the vulcanizate.

Not even approximately the same reverse stability can be achieved with commercially available polysulfides such as Robac ^R P 25 (Robinson, dipentamethylenethiurametetrasulfide) and Tetron ^R A (Du Pont, dipentamethylenethiuramhexasulfide) or with dibenzthiazolyltetrasulfide.

The disproportionation products of N, N'-substituted bis- (2,4-diamono-s-triazin-6-yl) tetrasulfides prepared according to the invention are suitable for prior art rubber mixtures containing natural rubber (NR), isoprene rubbers (IR ), butadiene rubbers (BR), styrene-butadiene rubbers (SBR), isobutylene-isoprene rubbers (IIR), ethylene-propylene terpolymers (EPDM), nitrile rubbers (NBR), halogen-containing rubbers, as well as epoxidized natural rubbers (ENR) . Of particular importance is the use of the disproportionation products of N, N'-substituted bis- (2,4-diamino-s-triazin-6-yl) tetrasulfides prepared according to the invention for those types of rubber which tend to be reversed, such as natural rubber , isoprene and butadiene rubbers and mixtures thereof or mixtures thereof with other rubbers.

The disproportionation products of N, N'-substituted bis- (2,4-diamino-s-triazin-6-yl) tetrasulfides prepared according to the invention are used as crosslinkers in rubber mixtures in an amount of 0.2 to 15 parts by weight, preferably 0.3 up to 8 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of rubber.

In accelerated sulfur vulcanization, the disproportionation products of the N, Ν'-substituted bis- (2,4-diamino-s-triazin-6-yl) tetrasulfides prepared according to the invention are used as accelerators in an amount of 0.01 to 10, and preferably 0, 1 to 5 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of rubber at a sulfur dosage of 0.1 to 10 parts by weight.

Preferably, the molar ratio of accelerator to sulfur according to the invention, (S ₈₎ is in the range from 1: 0.5 to 1.5. To extend the possibilities of variation in the vulcanization kinetics, it may be effective to use two or more of the N, N'-substituted bis- (2,4-diamino-s-triazin-6-yl) tetrasulfides prepared according to the invention in a mixture of disproportionation products while maintaining the above these amounts, in particular the preferred accelerator / sulfur ratio, need to be replaced by one on a molar basis. The same applies to the use of the disproportionation products N, N'-substituted bis- (2,4-diamino-s-triazin-6-yl) tetrasulfides prepared according to the invention as crosslinkers in the absence of sulfur.

Also, for reasons of kinetics, it may be useful to use the disproportionation products of N, N'-substituted bis- (2,4-diamino-s-triazin-6-yl) oligosulfides in admixture with conventional accelerators, for example sulfenamides and thiurams. These measures are sometimes due to reverse stability compared to vulcanizates whose vulcanization has been accelerated using the disproportionation products of N, N'-substituted bis- (2,4-diamino-s-triazin-6-yl) tetrasulfides prepared according to the invention alone. Conversely, the reverse behavior of the vulcanizates may have a positive effect when the disproportionation products of N, N'-substituted bis- (2,4-diamino-s-triazin-6-yl) tetrasulfides obtainable by the process of the invention are used instead of a portion of conventional accelerators.

Further substantial influence on the incubation time can be achieved by using the compounds prepared according to the invention in rubber mixtures by combining them with commercially available vulcanization retardants such as Santoguard ^R PVI (N-cyclohexylthio) phthalimide) and ^R E (N-phenyl-N-trichloromethylsulfenyl) benzenesulfonamide ). Vulkalent ^R E from p

Bayer AG. As the addition of Vulcalent E increases, the incubation time of the mixture containing disproportionates of N, N'-substituted bis- (2,4-diamino-s-triazin-6-yl) tetrasulfides is linearly increased.

When using the disproportionation products of N, N'-substituted bis- (2,4-diamino-s-triazin-6-yl) tetrasulfides as cross-linkers, it has proved useful to maintain the molar ratio of pr, N'-substituted bis- (2, 4-diamino-s-triazin-6-yl) tetrasulfides to vulcanent E at 1: 0.5 to 1.5, preferably 1: 0.8 to 1.2 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of rubber.

More important is the use of retarders, particularly Vulcalent E, in accelerated sulfur vulcanization using N, N'-substituted disproportionates; bis- (2,4-diamino-s-triazin-6-yl) tetrasulfides or mixtures thereof. A slight decrease in the crosslinking rate is sometimes observed in addition to the intended incubation time of the crosslinking reaction, but this can be compensated by an increase in temperature and a slight decrease in reverse stability. In this case, the molar ratio of the disproportionation products of the Ν, Ν'-substituted bis- (2,4-diamino-s-triazin-6-yl) tetrasulfides obtainable according to the invention to Vulcalent E was also found to be 1: 0.5. to 1.5, preferably 1: 0.8 to 1.2, wherein the sulfur content is maintained between 0.1 and 10, preferably 0.5 to 8 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of rubber, depending on the type of mixture.

Using the recommended dosage, many of these vulcanization problems can be solved without at the same time substantially deteriorating the properties of the vulcanizate that is foreign to the present invention.

Mixtures containing only silicic acid or a mixture of carbon black and silicic acid with a proportion of silicic acid greater than 15 parts per 100 parts of rubber are difficult to crosslink with conventional sulfur-based vulcanization systems, if such crosslinking is even feasible. On the one hand, they are particularly reversed and, on the other hand, it is impossible to set the cross-linking density to a predetermined value for the finished product. This is one of the reasons why silicas are preferably used in soles, but so far rarely in dynamically stressed products.

Surprisingly, using the disproportionation products of N, N'-substituted bis- (2,4-diamino-s-triazin-6-yl) tetrasulfides obtainable according to the invention, mixtures containing black and white mixtures in which the proportion of silicic acid is more than 15 parts per 100 parts of rubber, and also for silica-filled compositions, virtually eliminating the reverse while increasing the crosslink density, which in silica-containing compositions exhibits a high level of stress for silica-containing compositions. This effect is achieved when the compounds of the invention are used as both accelerators and crosslinkers (without sulfur).

Another possibility of using the disproportionation products of N, N'-substituted bis- (2,4-diamino-s-triazin-6-yl) tetrasulfides obtainable according to the invention lies in their combined application with oligosulfide organosilanes, for example by compounds of the general formulas [(RO) ₃ Si - (CH ₂ ) _n ] ₂ · ^s x or (RO) ₃ -Si- (CH ₂ ) _n -SH, where n is 2 or 3, x is 2 to 6, and

R is C 1 -C 6 alkyl; . cyclohexyl • CH3.

x is from 2 to 6, preferably 3 and

R is methyl or ethyl, preferably with bis- (3-triethoxysilylpropyl) tetrasulfide (Si 69, Degussa AG). The disproportionation products of the N, N'-substituted bis- (2,4-diamino-s-triazin-6-yl) tetrasulfides obtainable according to the invention can advantageously be used both in the organosilane crosslinking in the absence of sulfur instead of the accelerators described in DE patent No. 25 36 674, as well as in sulfur vulcanization in the presence of organosilanes according to DE Patent No. 2,255,577 and also in the production of reverse stable organosilane-containing rubber compositions, by constructing equilibrium curing systems according to DE patent

No. 2,848,559.

This applies to both carbon black-filled mixtures and mixtures containing mixtures of carbon black and silicic acid, as well as mixtures made using only silicic acid. Also, the addition of mineral fillers does not adversely affect any of the above mixtures.

In the presence of silica-based fillers or mixtures of carbon black and silicic acid, rubber / filler bonds are formed (Kautschuk + Gummi, Kunststoffe, Vol. 8, 1977, pp. 516-523, Vol. 10, 1979, pp. 760-765 and Vol. 4, 1981, pp. 280-284) or, in the case of carbon black, rubber-rubber bonds.

The formation of rubber / rubber crosslinking sites in the presence of carbon black, or rubber / filler crosslinking sites, in the presence of silicic acid, or both, in the case of mixtures of carbon black and silicic acid in all ratios, occurs when disproportionation products N, N ' -substituted bis- (2,4-diamino-s-triazin-6-yl) tetrasulfides obtainable according to the invention are used alone or in admixture with or with a mixture of conventional accelerators together with conventional sulfur donors such as Sulfasan ^R R ( morpholinedisulfide).

The compounds obtainable according to the invention are used in rubber compositions which may contain other conventional components, such as, for example

- conventional reinforcing systems, ie retort aze, gas black, lamp black, thermal black, acetylene black, arc black, CK black, etc., as well as synthetic fillers such as silicas, silicates, hydrates · oxide aluminum, various types of calcium carbonate and natural fillers such as clays, siliceous chalks, chalks, talc, etc., and silane-modified fillers and mixtures thereof in an amount of 5 to 300 parts per 100 parts of rubber, especially silicas and silicates;

zinc oxide and stearic acid as vulcanization promoters in amounts of 0.5 to 10 parts per 100 parts of rubber; commonly used antioxidants, antiozonants and anti-fatigue agents such as IPPD, TMQ etc. as well as waxes as light stabilizers and mixtures thereof;

- any emollients such as aromatic, naphthenic, paraffinic or synthetic emollients and mixtures thereof;

optionally other silanes such as (1-chloropropyl) trialkoxysilanes, vinyltrialkoxysilanes and aminoalkyltrialkoxysilanes, and mixtures thereof in an amount of 0.1 to 15, preferably 1 to 10 parts per 100 parts of fillers containing silanol groups such as silicas, silicates, clays , etc .;

- colorants and processing aids, if any, in the usual dosage.
