Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、高硬度のゴム組成物、その未加硫ゴム組成物、及びゴム組成物の製造方法に関し、特にビードフィラーゴムなどのタイヤ用ゴムとして有用である。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来より、ラジアルタイヤのビード部には、操縦安定性やリムとのフィッティング性を高める目的で、カーカス層の本体部とビードで巻き返された部分との間に高硬度のビードフィラーゴムが配設されている。ビードフィラーゴムには、硬度を高めるために、カーボンブラック、硫黄などが多量に配合され、逆に、オイルなどの軟化剤は、他の部分のゴムより少量配合されている。
【0003】
このようなビードフィラーゴムに対して、更に硬度を高める方法として、特公昭57−30856号公報には、ノボラック型フェノール系樹脂及び/又はオイル等で変性したノボラック型変性フェノール系樹脂とヘキサメチレンテトラミンを天然ゴムやポリブタジエンゴム等に、カーボンブラックと共に併用配合したビードフィラー用ゴム組成物が提案されている。
【0004】
また、特開平5−51487号公報には、上記樹脂の添加量を低減してゴムの機械的特性の劣化やカーカスコードのアミン劣化を防止する技術として、同様のゴム組成物を調製する際に、特定のオイル等で変性したノボラック型変性フェノール系樹脂に予め硬化剤であるヘキサメチレンテトラミンを内添しておく発明が開示されている。
【0005】
さらに、特開2001−71720号公報には、アクリルニトリル及びカシューナット油変性ノボラック型フェノール樹脂とメチレン供与体との反応性生物を含有するゴム配合物が提案されている。
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、上記のようにノボラック型フェノール系樹脂及び/又はオイル等で変性したノボラック型変性フェノール系樹脂を配合した未加硫ゴムは、粘度が高くなるため、混練時の作業性が劣るという問題があった。これら樹脂を減量すれば加工性は改善するものの、ゴムの硬度が低下してしまう。
【0007】
また、ノボラック型フェノール系樹脂は、ゴム組成物中への分散性が十分でないため、同じ添加量でも、加硫後のビードフィラーゴムの硬度を更に向上させる余地があった。
【0008】
一方、上記のような混練時の作業性や加硫後のゴム硬度に関する問題は、ビードフィラーゴムなどのタイヤ用ゴム組成物に限らず、他の用途の高硬度ゴムに共通する課題である。
【0009】
そこで、本発明の目的は、混練時の作業性が良好で、しかも同じ配合量でも硬度をより高めることができるゴム組成物、その未加硫ゴム組成物、及びゴム組成物の製造方法を提供することにある。
【0010】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは、上記目的を達成すべく、ノボラック型フェノール系樹脂等のゴム組成物中の分散性について鋭意研究したところ、ノボラック型フェノール系樹脂の水酸基による凝集を抑制するような特定の添加剤を使用することで、上記目的を達成できることを見出し、本発明を完成するに至った。
【0011】
即ち、本発明のゴム組成物は、加硫ゴム及びノボラック型フェノール系樹脂の硬化反応物を含有するゴム組成物において、さらにアルコール系化合物、脂肪族系金属化合物、エポキシ基含有化合物、NR (但し、Rはそれぞれ独立に炭素数1〜6のアルキル基、又はフェニル基を示す)、及び脂肪酸アミド系化合物からなる群より選ばれる一種以上の添加剤を含有することを特徴とする。
【0012】
本発明のゴム組成物によると、上記の添加剤を含有するため、実施例の結果が示すように、ノボラック型フェノール系樹脂の分散性が改善され、混練時の粘度を低下させて作業性を良好にし、また同じ配合量でもゴムの硬度をより高めることができる。上記の添加剤により、分散性とゴムの硬度が改善できる理由の詳細は明らかではないが、上記のような添加剤が極性を有するので、ノボラック型フェノール系樹脂の水酸基による凝集を抑制できるためと推測される。
【0013】
本発明においては、前記アルコール系化合物が、ポリグリコール、フェノール系化合物、又は多価アルコールであり、前記脂肪族系金属化合物が脂肪酸金属塩であり、前記脂肪酸アミド系化合物が高級脂肪酸アミドであることが好ましい。
【0014】
一方、本発明の未加硫ゴム組成物は、未加硫のゴム成分、加硫剤、ノボラック型フェノール系樹脂、及び当該樹脂の硬化剤を含有する未加硫ゴム組成物において、さらにアルコール系化合物、脂肪族系金属化合物、エポキシ基含有化合物、NR (但し、Rはそれぞれ独立に炭素数1〜6のアルキル基、又はフェニル基を示す)、及び脂肪酸アミド系化合物からなる群より選ばれる一種以上の添加剤を含有することを特徴とする。本発明の未加硫ゴム組成物によると、前記添加剤を含有することにより、上記の如き作用効果によって、混練時の作業性が良好となり、加硫後のゴムの硬度をより高めることができる。
【0015】
他方、本発明のゴム組成物の製造方法は、上記の未加硫ゴム組成物を混練する混練工程、及び混練工程を経た未加硫ゴム組成物を加硫する加硫工程を含むことを特徴とする。本発明の製造方法によると、未加硫ゴム組成物が前記添加剤を含有するため、上記の如き作用効果により、混練工程における作業性が良好になり、しかも同じ樹脂配合量でもより硬度の高いゴム組成物を製造することができる。

【0036】
本発明では、カーボンブラックの他に、ゴム用に使用されている、加硫促進剤、老化防止剤、カーボンブラック以外の例えばシリカ等の充填剤、プロセスオイルのような加工添加剤、粘着付与樹脂を含む樹脂、、離型剤、活性剤、可塑剤、遅延剤、顔料、脂肪酸、酸化亜鉛、ワックス、素練り促進剤、補強用短繊維等を適宜添加してもよい。これらの含有量は、高硬度ゴムに使用可能な量の範囲で適宜決定すればよい。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a high-hardness rubber composition, an unvulcanized rubber composition, and a method for producing a rubber composition, and is particularly useful as a rubber for tires such as bead filler rubber.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, high-hardness bead filler rubber has been placed between the main part of the carcass layer and the part wrapped around the bead in order to enhance steering stability and fitting with the rim in the bead part of the radial tire. Is established. A large amount of carbon black, sulfur or the like is added to the bead filler rubber in order to increase the hardness, and conversely, a softening agent such as oil is added in a smaller amount than the other parts of the rubber.
[0003]
As a method for further increasing the hardness of such a bead filler rubber, Japanese Patent Publication No. 57-30856 discloses a novolak-type phenolic resin and / or a novolak-type modified phenolic resin modified with oil or the like and hexamethylenetetramine. There has been proposed a rubber composition for a bead filler in which is compounded with natural rubber, polybutadiene rubber or the like together with carbon black.
[0004]
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-51487 discloses a technique for preparing a similar rubber composition as a technique for reducing the amount of the resin added to prevent deterioration of mechanical properties of rubber and amine deterioration of carcass cord. There is disclosed an invention in which hexamethylenetetramine as a curing agent is internally added in advance to a novolak-type modified phenolic resin modified with a specific oil or the like.
[0005]
Furthermore, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-71720 proposes a rubber compound containing acrylonitrile and a reactive product of a cashew nut oil-modified novolak phenol resin and a methylene donor.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, unvulcanized rubber containing a novolak-type modified phenolic resin modified with a novolak-type phenolic resin and / or oil as described above has a problem that the workability at the time of kneading is inferior because the viscosity is high. there were. If the amount of these resins is reduced, the processability is improved, but the hardness of the rubber is reduced.
[0007]
In addition, since novolak-type phenolic resins have insufficient dispersibility in the rubber composition, there is room for further improving the hardness of the vulcanized bead filler rubber even with the same amount of addition.
[0008]
On the other hand, the problems relating to the workability during kneading and the rubber hardness after vulcanization as described above are problems that are not limited to rubber compositions for tires such as bead filler rubber and the like, but are common to high hardness rubbers for other uses.
[0009]
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a rubber composition which has good workability during kneading and can further increase the hardness even with the same compounding amount, an unvulcanized rubber composition, and a method for producing a rubber composition. Is to do.
[0010]
[Means for Solving the Problems]

That is, the rubber composition of the present invention is a rubber composition containing a cured reaction product of a vulcanized rubber and a novolak-type phenolic resin, and further comprises an alcohol compound, an aliphatic metal compound, an epoxy group-containing compound, and NR 3 ( However, R independently represents an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms or a phenyl group), and one or more additives selected from the group consisting of fatty acid amide compounds.
[0012]
According to the rubber composition of the present invention, since it contains the above additives, the dispersibility of the novolak type phenolic resin is improved as shown in the results of the examples, and the workability is reduced by lowering the viscosity during kneading. It is possible to improve the hardness and to increase the hardness of the rubber even with the same compounding amount. The details of the reason why the dispersibility and rubber hardness can be improved by the above-mentioned additives are not clear, but since the above-mentioned additives have polarity, it is possible to suppress aggregation due to hydroxyl groups of the novolak-type phenolic resin. Guessed.
[0013]
In the present invention, the alcohol compound is a polyglycol, a phenol compound, or a polyhydric alcohol, the aliphatic metal compound is a fatty acid metal salt, and the fatty acid amide compound is a higher fatty acid amide. Is preferred.
[0014]
On the other hand, the unvulcanized rubber composition of the present invention comprises an unvulcanized rubber component, a vulcanizing agent, a novolak-type phenolic resin, and an unvulcanized rubber composition containing a curing agent for the resin. Selected from the group consisting of a compound, an aliphatic metal compound, an epoxy group-containing compound, NR 3 (where R independently represents an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms or a phenyl group), and a fatty acid amide compound. It is characterized by containing one or more additives. According to the unvulcanized rubber composition of the present invention, by containing the above-mentioned additive, workability at the time of kneading is improved by the above-mentioned effects, and the hardness of the rubber after vulcanization can be further increased. .
[0015]
On the other hand, the method for producing a rubber composition of the present invention is characterized by comprising a kneading step of kneading the unvulcanized rubber composition and a vulcanizing step of vulcanizing the unvulcanized rubber composition after the kneading step. And According to the production method of the present invention, since the unvulcanized rubber composition contains the additive, the workability in the kneading step is improved by the above-described effects, and the hardness is higher even with the same resin compounding amount. A rubber composition can be manufactured.
