- the measurements are carried out on samples of fired rubber plates measuring 50x50x5mm.
- the measurement parameters are:
- Thermomechanical work is then carried out (non-productive phase) in one step, which lasts a total of approximately 6 to 12 minutes, until a maximum “falling” temperature of between 120°C and 150°C is reached.
- the mixture thus obtained is recovered, cooled and then sulfur, a sulfenamide type accelerator and a TBzTD type ultra-accelerator are incorporated into a mixer (homo-finisher) whose temperature is between 30°C and 50°C, in mixing everything (productive phase) for an appropriate time (for example between 8 and 16 min).
- compositions thus obtained are then calendered either in the form of plates (thickness of 2 to 3 mm) or of thin sheets of rubber. These plates are then cross-linked in molds using a compression press at a temperature of between 150°C and 170°C for a period of between 3 and 20 minutes depending on the thickness in a known manner. skilled in the art. These reticulated plates are used to measure their physical or mechanical properties.
- the compositions obtained after calendering can also be transformed directly into a sole. As with plates, cross-linking is done in molds using compression presses.
- compositions in accordance with the present invention C1 to C7
- control compositions T1 and T2
- Table 1 presents the compositions tested (in phr), as well as the results obtained.
- the control composition T1 differs from the compositions in accordance with the invention in that it does not comprise a vegetable oil.
- the control composition T2 differs from the compositions in accordance with the invention in that it comprises more than 95 phr of silica.
- the abrasion resistance performance results are presented in absolute value (in mm 3 ) and in base 100 relative to the control composition TL. A value greater than 100 indicates better abrasion resistance.
- the tear resistance and wet grip performance results are presented on a base of 100 compared to the control composition TL. A value greater than 100 indicates better tear resistance and better wet grip, respectively.
- Glycerol trioleate unsunflower oil with 85% by weight of oleic acid
- “Lubrirob Tod 1880” from the company Novance, as a liquid plasticizer at 20° C.
- compositions C1 and C2 show that the vegetable oils make it possible to improve the abrasion resistance, see also the tearing resistance with a low impact on grip on wet ground.
- compositions C3 to C5 show that the technical effect can be obtained at different levels of silica and of plasticizer in accordance with the invention, the plasticizer being either a vegetable oil, a terpene resin or a mixture thereof.
- witness T2 shows that the technical effect of abrasion resistance is not obtained for silica levels greater than 95 pce.
- compositions in accordance with the invention and having a difference between the level of silica and the level of T, at least one plasticizer comprised in a range ranging from 35 to 65 phr present a compromise of the three improved performances while improving the resistance to abrasion.
