Abstract

The invention relates to a rubber mixture which is formed from an elastomer component, which promotes adhesiveness, and from an easily processable component, at least 10% by weight of styrene-butadiene copolymer with a bound styrene content of approximately 45% by weight, at least 30% by weight of reinforcing soot, and approximately 0.5% by weight of sulphur, and is cross-linkable in the presence of at least 5% by weight of a condensation product formed from a mono- or bivaient hydrogen phenol and formaldehyde. The vulcanisates, which are obtained, have a Shore A hardness of 98 DEG and a modulus of elasticity of 8.8 M Pa, and they are especially suitable for hard tyre components, such as, for example, a bead core reinforcement, bead protective strip or an underplate for tread strips.

Description

A cross-linkable, especially anS-vulcanisable, rubber mixture The invention relates to a rubber mixture, especially an S-vulcanisable, rubber mixture, comprising at least one elastomer component of high adhesiveness and at least one further elastomer component, reinforcing soot and sulphur, for the production of hard rubber components for a vehicle tyre.
At present, the general travel behaviour of a pneumatic vehicle tyre and its rolling resistance depend partly on the hardness of the rubber of the bead core reinforcement and bead protective strip, on the one hand, and on the hardness of the rubber of the tread strip underplate, on the other hand.
A low rolling resistance and an improved general travel behaviour would be achieved if it were possible to increase the hardness of the rubber portion of the above-mentioned tyre components up to a region around 1000 according to the Shore A scale. An attempt has been made to achieve this by utilising high proportions of reinforcing soots. Such additions, which have to be added in relatively large amounts, present problems insofar as, from an operational point of view, there is a limit, beyond which such a large, required amount of reinforcing soot can no longer be absorbed by the rubber mixture.
According to German Patent Specification No. 36 00 427, it is known to produce a very hard bead core reinforcement from a rubber substance which contains, per 100 parts by weight of rubber, e.g. natural rubber or synthetic diene rubber or a mixture of these rubbers, 40 to 120 parts by weight of soot as well as 5 to 40 parts by weight of a novolac resin and a melamine derivative as the hardener for such resin. According to Table 2, a hardness (HS) of 95 to 98 or 99 is attained (HS hardness according to Japanese specifications).
This arrangement is disadvantageous because of the use of high proportions of soot which lead to operational problems in respect of the production, and because of the use of high proportions of phenol resin, whereby the elasticity expansion of the vulcanisates is substantially impaired.
In addition, the known rubber mixture is not suitable for processing by means of extrusion and calendering.
An object of the invention is to obtain relatively hard rubber portions from rubber mixtures which can be produced from mixtures of blended rubber which contain both components which promote adhesiveness and reinforcing, readily processable rubber components, yet they do not require relatively high proportions of reinforcing soots.
The technical object of the invention resides in producing a ready-to-use rubber mixture, on the basis of a mixture of blended rubber formed from styrene-butadiene copolymers and at least one further elastomer, especially natural rubber, as well as from a relatively low proportion of reinforcing soot and an additional binding agent, such a rubber mixture producing hard rubber portions after the vulcanisation process, especially after the vulcanisation process caused by condensation in the presence of sulphur.
According to the invention, this object is achieved in that there are at least 10 per cent by weight of an elastomer component formed from an emulsion- or solution-polymerised styrene-butadiene copolymer or from a mixture of blended copolymers, where the content of bound styrene in the elastomer molecule is at least 45 per cent by weight, and in that the additional elastomer component is an elastomer which promotes adhesiveness, natural rubber being preferred, in that there are approximately at least 30 per cent by weight of soot, and in that these components are cross-linkable or vulcanisable in the presence of at least 5 parts per 100 parts of rubber of a condensation product formed from a mono- or bivalent hydrogen phenol and formaldehyde.
At least 10 parts per 100 parts of rubber of said condensation product are preferably used.
Rubber portions are to be obtained hereby, which have a Shore A hardness of at least 980. These are preferably to be used for hard core ring reinforcements as well as hard bead protective strips and for hard underplates of a two-layered tread strip (cap and base).
In a preferred embodiment according to the invention, a vulcanisable mixture of blended rubber substantially comprises Natural rubber (NR) 60 parts per 100 parts of rubber Butyl rubber (BR) 20 parts per 100 parts of rubber Styrene-butadiene Rubber 1907 (SBR) 20 parts per 100 parts of rubber Soot (HAF) 65 parts per 100 parts of rubber Phenol/formaldehyde 20 parts per 100 parts of rubber Sulphur 0.5 parts per 100 parts of rubber The vulcanisates contain further, common additions, such as zinc oxide, stearic acid, process oil, anti-oxidation agents, ozone protecting agents and vulcanisation accelerators.
The Shore A hardness of this vulcanisate is 980, and its modulus of elasticity is 8.8 M Pa, measured at ambient temperature.
The mixture of blended rubber is easily processable, contains the reinforcing additions'in a relatively small amount and does not present problems from an operational point of view, and hard rubber vulcanisates of almost 1000 according to the Shore A hardness scale can easily be obtained in a simple manner.
