Preparation of test sample The vulcanization accelerator and the components other than sulfur in the formulations shown in Table 1 below were kneaded for 5 minutes in a 1.7 liter closed Banbury mixer, and were released when the temperature reached 165 ± 5 ° C. A rubber composition was obtained by kneading the vulcanization accelerator and sulfur with the prepared masterbatch using an 8-inch open roll. The Mooney viscosity of the obtained rubber composition was measured. Then, this rubber composition was press-vulcanized in a mold of 15 × 15 × 0.2 cm at 160 ° C. for 20 minutes to prepare a desired test piece, which had a hardness (Hs) and a tensile strength.

From the results shown in Table 1 above, in the rubber compositions of the examples in which the sulfur-based extreme pressure additive of the present invention was used as a processing aid, the Mooney viscosity was higher than that of the standard example in which nothing was added. It can be seen that although the rubber processability is low and the rubber processability is improved, the hardness and the tensile strength are not decreased, but rather improved. In contrast, in the comparative example using the conventional processing aid aroma oil, although the Mooney viscosity is lowered and the workability is improved, in terms of hardness and tensile strength,
It can be seen that it has dropped significantly. Therefore, the rubber composition of the present invention, while suppressing the deterioration of its hardness and mechanical properties, has improved its workability, particularly when this is used for each member of the pneumatic tire, It is useful.
