Description

RUBBER COMPOSITION AND AUTOMOBILE FUEL SYSTEM PART USING SAME
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a rubber composition for use in an automobile fuel system part and an automobile fuel system part using the same and, more specifically, to: a rubber composition for use in an automobile fuel delivery hose which is brought into contact with a fuel (such as gasoline or gasoline steam); a rubber composition for use in an automobile fuel seal which is brought into contact with a fuel (such as gasoline or gasoline steam), such as a tank packing, a gasket, or an 0-ring; and an automobile fuel system part using the rubber composition.
Background Art
Hitherto, compositions containing, a blended rubber (NJBR-PVC) of acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or NBR as a main component and further containing a low-molecular-weight thiuram-based vulcanization accelerator or sulfenamide-based vulcanization accelerator such as tetramethyithiuram disulfide (TMTD) have been used as rubber compositions to be used for an automobile fuel system part such as an automobile fuel delivery hose (see Patent Literatures 1 to 4).
Citation List Patent Literature 1)JP2001-72804A 2) JP 2001-317663 A 3) JP 2008-208267 A 4) JP 2009-1657 A
Summary of Invention
Technical Problem However, the low-molecular-weight thiuram-based vulcanization accelerator or sulfenamide-based vulcanization accelerator such as TMTD has high reactivity, has poor storage stability when the rubber is unvulcanized, and causes an increase in vulcanization density.
Therefore, the rubber composition tends to cause cracks when immersed in a fuel oil and is poor in solvent stress cracking resistance (performance in suppressing the occurrence of solvent * cracks). On the other hand, when the content of the low-molecular-weight thiuram-based vulcanization accelerator or sulfenamide-based vulcanization accelerator such as TMTD is reduced, the storage stability and solvent stress cracking resistance are improved, but there arises another problem in that the permanent compression set property is poor.
The present invention has been made in view of the circumstances as described above, and an object of the present invention is to provide a rubber composition that has excellent storage stability, solvent stress cracking resistance, and permanent compression set property, and an automobile fuel system part using the same.
Solution to Problem In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a first aspect of the present invention is a rubber composition to be used for an automobile fuel system part, including: the following component (A) as a main component; and the following components (B) alone as vulcanization accelerators, in which the content of the components (B) exceeds 2.5 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the component (A).
(A) A blended rubber (NBR-PVC) of acryloriitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or NBR.
(B) Both tetrabenzylthiuram disulfide (TBZT) and tetrabis(2-ethylhexyi)thiuram disulfide (TOT-N).
In addition, a second aspect of the present invention is an automobile fuel system part, including the above-mentioned rubber composition in at least one part of the automobile fuel system part.
The inventor of the present invention has made extensive studies on a vulcanization accelerator alternative to the ow-molecular-weight thiuram-based vulcanization accelerator or sulfenamide-based vulcanization accelerator such as tetramethyithiuram disulfide (TMTD). In the course of the studies, the inventor of the present invention has focused attention on * tetrabenzylthiuram disulfide (TBZT) and tetrabis(2-ethylhexyl)thiuram disulfide (TOT-N), which have high molecular weights, among the thiuram-based vulcanization accelerators. The inventor has found that when TBZT and TOT-N only are used as the vulcanization accelerators, the occurrence of cracks when immersed in a fuel oil can be suppressed to improve the solvent stress cracking resistance because the components can reduce the reactivity to lower the vulcanization start speed, improve the storage stability when the rubber is unvulcanized, and suppress the increase in the vulcanization density. Further, the inventor has found that, when the content of the TBZT and TOT-N is set so as to exceed 2.5 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of NBR-PVC or NBR, the permanent compression set property is improved without deteriorating both the storage stability and solvent stress cracking resistance, thereby obtaining a rubber composition having excellent storage stability, solvent stress cracking resistance, and permanent compression set property, thus achieving the present invention.
Advantageous Effects of Invention As mentioned above, the rubber composition for use in an automobile fuel system part (hereinafter, sometimes simply referred to as "rubber composition") of the present invention is excellent in each and every performance of storage stability, solvent-stress-cracking resistance, and permanent compression set property because the composition contains tetrabenzylthiuram disulfide (TBZT) and tetrabis(2-ethylhexyl)thiuram disulfide (TOT-N) only as vulcanization accelerators! in which the content of both the TBZT and TOT-N (components (B)) (hereinafter, sometimes simply abbreviated as "TBZT and TOT-N (components (B))" is set so as to exceed 2.5 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of NBR-PVC or NBR (component (A)).
In addition, when the mixing ratio by weight of TBZT (81) to TOT-N (82) of the components (B) falls within the range of B1/B2=99/1 to 50/50, the composition is excellent in a balance among each and every performance of storage stability, solvent stress cracking * resistance, and permanent compression set property.
When the rubber composition of the present invention further contains stearic acid and zinc oxide in addition to the component (A) and components (B), in which the content of the stearic acid is 0.5 to 1.5 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the component (A), and the content of the zinc oxide is 3 to 10 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the component (A), the composition is better in the balance among storage stability, solvent stress cracking resistance, and permanent compression set property because a reaction of stearic acid with zinc oxide preferentially occurs compared with a reaction of degraded products of the components (B) with zinc oxide.
Further, the automobile fuel system part (automobile fuel delivery hose or automobile fuel seal) that includes, the rubber composition of the present invention in at least one part (or for the whole) can suppress the occurrence of cracks when immersed in a fuel oil and hence is excellent in solvent stress cracking resistance.

The fuel delivery hoses thus obtained in the examples and comparative examples were used to evaluate characteristics in accordance with the following criteria. Table 1 above shows the results together.
Storage stability The rubber compositions were used to evaluate the storage stability in accordance with JIS K6300. That is, Mooney viscosities (ML1+3, 125°C) at the initial time (untreated) and after heat aging (40°Cx72 hours) were measured to evaluate the storage stability as follows.
Evaluation a: The value of (Mooney viscosity after dry aging/Mooney viscosity at the initial time) is less than 1.25.
: The value of (Mooney viscosity after heat aging/Mooney viscosity at the initial time) is 1.25 or more.
Solvent stress cracking resistance A notch (2.5 mm) was made at the center of a JIS No.1 dumbbell cut out from each hose. The dumbbell was immersed in a fuel liquid (Fuel C) and left to stand in a 40°C environment, and a time until the dumbbell was broken was measured.
Evaluation c: The time until the dumbbell is broken is 2 minutes or more.
: The time until the dumbbell is broken is less than 2 minutes.
Permanent compression set property Each rubber composition was used to prepare a large test piece (thickness: 12.5±0.5 mm, diameter: 29.0±0.5 mm), and the permanent compression set property was evaluated in accordance with JIS K 6262 at a temperature of 100°C for a test time of 72 hours at a compressibility of 25%.
Evaluation 0: The permanent compression set property is 55% or less.
K: The permanent compression set property exceeds 55%, As can be seen from the results of Table 1 above, the compositionè of Exarriples 1 to 6 were found to have excellent storage stability, solvent stress cracking resistance, and permanent compression set property because the compositions contained predetermined amounts of TBZT and TOT-N only as specific vulcanization accelerators (components (BD.
