Description

The invention relates to compositions, in particular for tires and more particularly to compositions comprising a plasticizer system based on low glass transition temperature resin (Tg).  [002] Since fuel savings and the need to protect the environment have become a priority, it has been necessary to produce tires with reduced rolling resistance without penalizing the other properties of the tire.  Manufacturers have developed tire compositions that make it possible to reduce this rolling resistance, in particular by introducing silica as reinforcing filler, or resin with a high glass transition temperature as plasticizer.  [3] For example, the Applicants have already described the use of high Tg resins, as described in WO-2005/087859 or WO-2006/061064.  [4] Some documents describe the use of low Tg resins, as for example in the document JP-2005213486 which proposes the use of low Tg resin at a rate of between 0.5 and 5 phr to improve the adhesive strength. vintage and the industrial feasibility of the compositions.  Document US-2007/0167557 proposes the use of low Tg resin at a rate of 10 phr to improve the resistance to flaking.  JP-2001144262 discloses compositions which have improved abrasion resistance and adhesion and include low Tg resins.  [5] Nevertheless, manufacturers are still looking for solutions to improve at the same time all the performances of the tire compositions and in particular the rolling resistance, the adhesion on dry ground, the adhesion on wet ground, the hardness of the cooked compositions, associated with the road behavior and driving comfort, along with the viscosity of the raw compositions, associated with the ease of industrial implementation of the compositions (processability).  [6] At present, the Applicants have shown that particular compositions based on low Tg resin, allowed to have an improved compromise between many desired performances for the tire compositions, that is to say rolling, the adhesion on dry ground, the adhesion on wet ground, the hardness of the cooked compositions, at the same time as the viscosity of the raw compositions.  [007] The invention therefore relates to a rubber

Thus, diene elastomers such as butyl rubbers or copolymers of dienes and alpha-olefins of the EPDM type do not fall within the above definition and may in particular be described as "essentially saturated" diene elastomers ( low or very low diene origin, always less than 15%).  In the category of "essentially unsaturated" diene elastomers, the term "highly unsaturated" diene elastomer is particularly understood to mean a diene elastomer having a content of units of diene origin (conjugated dienes) which is greater than 50%.  These definitions being given, the term "diene elastomer" may be understood more particularly as meaning that may be used in the compositions according to the invention: (a) any homopolymer obtained by polymerization of a conjugated diene monomer having from 4 to 12 carbon atoms ; (b) any copolymer obtained by copolymerization of one or more conjugated dienes with each other or with one or more vinyl aromatic compounds having from 8 to 20 carbon atoms; (c) a ternary copolymer obtained by copolymerization of ethylene, an α-olefin having 3 to 6 carbon atoms with a non-conjugated diene monomer having from 6 to 12 carbon atoms, for example elastomers obtained from ethylene, propylene with a nonconjugated diene monomer of the aforementioned type such as in particular 1,4-hexadiene, ethylidene norbornene, dicyclopentadiene; (d) a copolymer of isobutene and isoprene (butyl rubber), as well as the halogenated versions, in particular chlorinated or brominated, of this type of copolymer.  Although it applies to any type of diene elastomer, the person skilled in the art of the tire will understand that the present invention is preferably implemented with essentially unsaturated diene elastomers, in particular of the type (a) or (b) above.  As conjugated dienes 1,3-butadiene, 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene, 2,3-di (1-O-alkyl) -1,3-butadienes are particularly suitable. such as, for example, 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene, 2,3-diethyl-1,3-butadiene, 2-methyl-3-ethyl-1,3-butadiene, 2-methyl 3-isopropyl-1,3-butadiene, aryl-1,3-butadiene, 1,3-pentadiene, 2,4-hexadiene.  Suitable vinylaromatic compounds are, for example, styrene, ortho-, meta-, para-methylstyrene, the commercial "vinyl-toluene" mixture, para-tert-butylstyrene, methoxystyrenes, chlorostyrenes, vinylmesitylene, divinylbenzene, vinylnaphthalene.  The copolymers may contain between 99% and 20% by weight of diene units and between 1% and 80% by weight of vinylaromatic units.  The elastomers may have any microstructure which is a function of the polymerization conditions used, in particular the presence or absence of a modifying and / or randomizing agent and the amounts of modifying and / or randomizing agent used.  The elastomers can be for example block, statistical, sequence, microsequential, and be prepared in dispersion or in solution; they may be coupled and / or starred or functionalized with a coupling agent and / or starring or functionalization.  For coupling with carbon black, there may be mentioned, for example, functional groups comprising a C-Sn bond or amine functional groups such as aminobenzophenone for example;

composition.  In particular, the term "majority reinforcing filler" means any reinforcing filler which represents at least 50% by weight of the reinforcing fillers present, preferably more than 50% and more preferably more than 60%.  According to one embodiment, the composition comprises carbon black as a majority filler, in optional cutting with silica, as a minority filler.  In this case, the

(abbreviated "TBSI"), dibenzyldithiocarbamate zinc (abbreviated as "ZBEC") and mixtures of these compounds.  Preferably, a primary accelerator of the sulfenamide type is used.  1-4 Combination of Plasticizers [0072] The composition according to the invention further comprises a combination of plasticizers or plasticizer system.  This combination of plasticizer is composed of at least one

 The softening point is measured according to ISO 4625 ("Ring and Ball" method).  Tg is measured according to ASTM D3418 (1999).  The macrostructure (Mw, Mn and Ip) of the hydrocarbon resin is determined by steric exclusion chromatography (SEC): solvent tetrahydrofuran; temperature 35 ° C; concentration 1 g / I; flow rate 1 ml / min; filtered solution on 0.45 μm porosity filter before injection; Moore calibration with polystyrene standards; set of 3 columns "WATERS" in series ("STYRAGEL" HR4E, HR1 and HR0. 5); differential refractometer detection ("WATERS 2410") and its associated operating software ("WATERS EMPOWER").  The thermoplastic hydrocarbon resins may be aliphatic or aromatic or alternatively of the aliphatic / aromatic type, that is to say based on aliphatic and / or aromatic monomers.  They may be natural or synthetic, whether or not based on petroleum (if so, also known as petroleum resins).  As aromatic monomers are suitable for example styrene,

resins or terpene copolymers, terpene phenol homopolymer or copolymer resins, homopolymer resins or C5 cutting copolymers, homopolymer resins or C9 cutting copolymers, and mixtures of these resins, which may be used alone or in combination with a liquid plasticizer, for example a MES or TDAE oil.  The term "terpene" here combines in a known manner the alpha-pinene, beta-pinene and limonene monomers; preferably, a limonene monomer is used which is present in a known manner in the form of three possible isomers: L-limonene (laevorotatory enantiomer), D-limonene (dextrorotatory enantiomer), or the dipentene, racemic of the dextrorotatory and levorotatory enantiomers. .  Among the above-mentioned hydrocarbon plasticizing resins, there may be mentioned resins of homo- or

phr to 70 phr, preferably from 15 to 50 phr, more preferably between 20 and 40 phr.  Indeed, below 15 phr of low Tg resin, the composition could have sticky problems and thus industrial processability 1-4-2 High Tg resin [0083] The second plasticizer of the combination of plasticizers of the composition is a thermoplastic hydrocarbon resin whose Tg is greater than 20 ° C.  This resin is a solid at room temperature (23 ° C), as opposed to a liquid plasticizer such as an oil or viscous such as a low Tg resin.  Preferably, the thermoplastic hydrocarbon plasticizing resin has at least one of the following characteristics: a Tg greater than 30 ° C .; a number-average molecular mass (Mn) of between 400 and 2000 g / mol, more preferentially between 500 and 1500 g / mol; a polymolecularity index (Ip) of less than 3, more preferably less than 2 (booster: Ip = Mw / Mn with Mw weight average molecular weight).  More preferably, this thermoplastic hydrocarbon plasticizing resin has all of the above preferred characteristics.  The macrostructure (Mw, Mn and Ip) of the hydrocarbon resin is determined by steric exclusion chromatography (SEC): solvent tetrahydrofuran; temperature 35 ° C; concentration 1 g / I; flow rate 1 ml / min; filtered solution on 0.45 μm porosity filter before injection; Moore calibration with polystyrene standards; set of 3 columns "WATERS" in series ("STYRAGEL" HR4E, HR1 and HR0. 5); differential refractometer detection ("WATERS 2410") and its associated operating software ("WATERS EMPOWER").  The thermoplastic hydrocarbon resins may be aliphatic or aromatic or alternatively of the aliphatic / aromatic type, that is to say based on aliphatic and / or aromatic monomers.  They may be natural or synthetic, whether or not based on petroleum (if

polylimonene.  The preferred resins above are well known to those skilled in the art and commercially available, for example sold with regard to: - polylimonene resins: by the company DRT under the name "Dercolyte L120" (Mn = 625 g / mol, Mw = 1010 g / mol, Ip = 1.6, Tg = 72 ° C.) or by ARIZONA under the name "Sylvagum TR7125C" (Mn = 630 g / mol, Mw = 950 g / mol; Ip = 1.5, Tg = 70 ° C); C5 / vinylaromatic cut copolymer resins, in particular C5 / styrene cut or C5 / C9 cut cut: by Neville Chemical Company under the names "Super Nevtac 78", "Super Nevtac 85" or "Super Nevtac 99", by

copolymer resins: by DRT under the name "Dercolyte TS 105" from the company DRT, by ARIZONA Chemical Company under the names "ZT115LT" and "ZT5100".  By way of examples of other preferred resins, mention may also be made of phenol-modified alpha-methyl-styrene resins.  To characterize these phenol-modified resins, it is recalled that a so-called "hydroxyl number" index (measured according to ISO 4326 and expressed in mg KOH / g) is used in a known manner.  The alpha-methyl-styrene resins, in particular those modified phenol, are well known to those skilled in the art and commercially available, for example sold by Arizona Chemical under the names "Sylvares SA 100" (Mn = 660 g / mol; Ip = 1.5, Tg = 53 ° C); "Sylvares SA 120" (Mn = 1030 g / mol, Ip = 1.9, Tg = 64 ° C); "Sylvares 540" (Mn = 620 g / mol, Ip = 1.3, Tg = 36 ° C, hydroxyl number = 56 mg KOH / g); "Silvares 600" (Mn = 850 g / mol, Ip = 1.4, Tg = 50 ° C., hydroxyl number = 31 mg KOH / g).  Preferably, the level of

20 phr, and more preferably from 5 to 15 phr.  1-4-3 Plasticizing Oil Optionally, the combination of plasticizer may also contain an extender oil (or plasticizing resin) which is liquid at 20 ° C., called "low Tg", that is to say which by definition has a Tg lower than -20 ° C, preferably lower than -40 ° C.  Any extender oil, whether of aromatic or non-aromatic nature known for its plasticizing properties vis-à-vis diene elastomers, is usable.  At ambient temperature (20 ° C), these oils, more or less viscous, are liquids (that is to say, as a reminder, substances having the ability to eventually take the shape of their container), as opposed in particular to hydrocarbon plasticizing resins which are inherently solid at room temperature.  Especially suitable extension oils selected from the group consisting of naphthenic oils (low or high viscosity, including hydrogenated or not), paraffinic oils, oils MES (Medium Extracted Solvates), TDAE oils (Treated Distillate Aromatic Extracts), mineral oils, vegetable oils, ethers plasticizers, ester plasticizers, phosphate plasticizers, sulphonate plasticizers and mixtures of these compounds.  For example, there may be mentioned those containing between 12 and 30 carbon atoms, for example trioctyl phosphate.  By way of examples of non-aqueous and non-water-soluble ester plasticizers, mention may be made in particular of compounds selected from the group consisting of trimellitates, pyromellitates, phthalates, 1,2-cyclohexane dicarboxylates, adipates, azela- sebacates, glycerol triesters and mixtures of these compounds.  Among the triesters above, mention may be made in particular of glycerol triesters, preferably consisting predominantly (for more than 50%, more preferably for more than 80% by weight) of an unsaturated C 18, C 18 fatty acid. that is, selected from the group consisting of oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, and mixtures of these acids.  More preferably, whether of synthetic or natural origin (for example vegetable oils of sunflower or rapeseed), the fatty acid used is more than 50% by weight, more preferably still more than 80% by weight. % by weight of oleic acid.  Such high oleic acid triesters (trioleates) are well known and have been described, for example, in application WO 02/088238, as plasticizers in tire treads.  According to a particular embodiment of the invention, when it is included in the composition, the extension oil content is between 2 and 80 phr, more preferably between 5 and 60 phr, more preferably between 10 and 50 pce.  Below 2 phr of oil or above 80 phr of oil, the composition could be less effective in adhesion on wet ground, with a Tg of the mixture too high or too low.  [0097] According to the invention, the levels of reinforcing filler and of plasticizer are such that the ratio of the total charge rate and the total plasticizer content is within a range from 1.3 to 2.  Below 1.3 the composition may have a lower hardness leading to a lower performance of vehicle behavior while above 2 the composition could have a strong mooney resulting in less industrial processability.  Preferably, the ratio of the total charge rate and the total plasticizer content is in a range from 1.3 to 1.8 and preferably from 1.4 to 1.7.  1-6 Other Possible Additives The rubber compositions in accordance with the invention optionally also include all or part of the usual additives normally used in elastomer compositions intended in particular for the production of treads, such as, for example, pigments. protective agents such as anti-ozone waxes, chemical antiozonants, anti-oxidants, plasticizers other than those previously described, anti-fatigue agents, reinforcing resins, acceptors (for example phenolic resin). novolak) or methylene donors (eg HMT or H3M).  Of course, the compositions according to the invention can be used alone or in a cut (i. e. , in admixture) with any other rubber composition usable for the manufacture of tires.  It goes without saying that the invention relates to the rubber compositions described above both in the said state "raw" or uncrosslinked (i. e. , before cooking) in the so-called "cooked" or crosslinked state, or vulcanized (i. e. after crosslinking or vulcanization).

II- Preparation of rubber compositions The compositions are manufactured in appropriate mixers, using two successive preparation phases well known to those skilled in the art: a first phase of work or thermomechanical mixing (sometimes called phase "non-productive") at high temperature, up to a maximum temperature of between 110 ° C and 190 ° C, preferably between 130 ° C and 180 ° C, followed by a second mechanical working phase (sometimes referred to as "productive" phase) at a lower temperature, typically below 110 ° C, for example between 60 ° C and 100 ° C, finishing phase during which is incorporated the crosslinking system or vulcanization; such phases have been described, for example, in EP-A-0501227, EP-A-0735088, EP-A-0810258, W000 / 05300 or W000 / 05301. The first (non-productive) phase is preferably carried out in several thermomechanical steps. In a first step, the elastomers, the reinforcing fillers, the combination of plasticizers (and optionally the coupling agents and / or other ingredients at the same time) are introduced into a suitable mixer such as a conventional internal mixer. exception of the vulcanization system), at a temperature of between 20 ° C and 100 ° C and preferably between 25 ° C and 100 ° C. After a few minutes, preferably from 0.5 to 2 min and a rise in temperature to 90 ° C to 100 ° C, the other ingredients (ie, those that remain if all were not put initially) are added at once or in portions, except for the vulcanization system during mixing ranging from 20 seconds to a few minutes. The total mixing time, in this non-productive phase, is preferably between 2 and 10 minutes at a temperature of less than or equal to 180 ° C, and preferably less than or equal to 170 ° C. After cooling the mixture thus obtained, the vulcanization system is then incorporated at low temperature (typically below 100 ° C.), generally in an external mixer such as a roller mixer; the whole is then mixed (productive phase) for a few minutes, for example between 5 and 15 min. The final composition thus obtained is then calendered, for example in the form of a sheet or a plate, in particular for a characterization in the laboratory, or extruded, to form for example a rubber profile used for the manufacture semi-finished to obtain products such as a tread. These products can then be used for the manufacture of tires, according to the techniques known to those skilled in the art. The vulcanization (or baking) is conducted in a known manner at a temperature generally between 130 ° C and 200 ° C, under pressure, for a sufficient time which may vary for example between 5 and 90 min depending in particular on the cooking temperature, the vulcanization system adopted, the kinetics of vulcanization of the composition in question or the size of the tire. The examples which follow illustrate the invention without however limiting it. III-Examples of embodiment of the invention III-1 Preparation of examples [00108] In the examples which follow, the rubber compositions were produced as described previously.

III-2 Characterization of the Examples [00109] In the examples, the rubber compositions are characterized before and / or after cooking as indicated below. - Mooney viscosity or Mooney plasticity (before firing): [00110] An oscillating consistometer is used as described in the French standard NF T 43-005 (1991). The Mooney plasticity measurement is carried out according to the following principle: the composition in the green state (i.e., before firing) is molded in a cylindrical chamber heated to 100 ° C. After one minute of preheating, the rotor rotates within the test tube at 2 revolutions / minute and the useful torque is measured to maintain this movement after 4 minutes of rotation. The Mooney plasticity (ML 1 + 4) is expressed in "Mooney unit" (UM, with 1 UM = 0.83 Newton.meter). The lower the Mooney value, the lower the pre-firing viscosity and the better the processability of the composition. Shore A Hardness: The Shore A hardness of the compositions after curing is assessed according to ASTM D 2240-86. Dynamic properties (after firing): The dynamic properties G * and tan (δ) max are measured on a viscoanalyzer (Metravib V A4000), according to the ASTM D 5992 - 96 standard. The response of a sample of vulcanized composition is recorded. (cylindrical specimen with a thickness of 4 mm and a cross sectional thickness of 400 mm2) subjected to a sinusoidal stress in alternating simple shear at a frequency of 10 Hz, under variable temperature conditions, in particular at 0 ° C and 23 ° C, 40 ° C and 100 ° C according to ASTM D 1349-99. A peak to peak strain sweep of 0.1 to 50% (forward cycle) followed by 50% to 1% (return cycle) is performed. . The results exploited are the complex dynamic shear modulus (G *) and the loss factor (tan Ô). For the return cycle, the maximum value of tan 8 observed (tan (8) max), as well as the complex modulus difference (4G *) between the values at 0.1% and at 50% of deformation (effect Payne). For the value of tan (δ) max at 0 ° C, the higher the value, the better the composition will allow good wet adhesion. For the value of tan (δ) max at 100 ° C, the higher the value, the more the composition will allow a good adhesion on dry ground. For values of tan (δ) max at 23 ° C and 40 ° C, the lower the value, the lower the composition will have a low hysteresis and thus a low rolling resistance. EXAMPLES [00112] The compositions are manufactured with an introduction of all the constituents on an internal mixer, with the exception of the vulcanization system. The vulcanizing agents (sulfur and accelerator) are introduced on an external mixer at low temperature (the constituent rolls of the mixer being at about 30 ° C.). The examples presented in Table 1 are intended to compare the different rubber properties of control compositions (T1 to T9) compositions C1 to C4 according to the invention. The measurement results of the properties measured before and after firing are shown in Table 2.
