Description

本発明は、ゴム組成物の製造方法に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a method for producing a rubber composition.

天然ゴムは、合成ゴムに比べて分子量が大きいため、各種配合剤を直接添加して均一に混練りすることは困難である。このため、天然ゴムを極少量のしゃく解剤(素練り促進剤)とともに混練りし、ゴム分子量を適度な大きさに下げる素練り工程が必要となる。   Since natural rubber has a higher molecular weight than synthetic rubber, it is difficult to add various compounding agents directly and knead them uniformly. For this reason, a kneading process is required in which natural rubber is kneaded with a very small amount of a peptizer (peptizer) and the rubber molecular weight is reduced to an appropriate level.

しかしながら、素練り工程では、天然ゴム中に含まれている臭気成分が温度上昇によって揮発し、また、非ゴム成分が更に酸化、分解して新たな臭気も発生するため、作業場の環境が悪化するという問題がある。   However, in the mastication process, the odor component contained in the natural rubber is volatilized by the temperature rise, and the non-rubber component is further oxidized and decomposed to generate a new odor. There is a problem.

そこで、素練り工程において、天然ゴムに亜鉛華を添加したり、カーボンブラックを添加したり、低温で排出するようにしたり、香料を配合したりすることにより、素練り時の臭気を低減する手法が提案されている(下記特許文献1〜3参照)。これらの従来手法では、天然ゴムの素練り時等、ゴム組成物の製造段階での作業環境を改善することについては開示されているものの、加硫後のゴム製品時における臭気を低減する効果については言及されていない。   Therefore, in the mastication process, a method of reducing odor during mastication by adding zinc white to natural rubber, adding carbon black, discharging at low temperature, or blending fragrances. Has been proposed (see Patent Documents 1 to 3 below). Although these conventional methods have been disclosed to improve the working environment at the manufacturing stage of the rubber composition, such as when masticating natural rubber, the effect of reducing odor at the time of rubber products after vulcanization Is not mentioned.

下記特許文献4には、竹炭又は木炭をゴムに混入するゴム臭脱臭製造工法が開示されている。しかしながら、この文献は、ゴム製造時に接着剤を混合する場合の脱臭を目的として、ゴムと接着剤に竹炭又は木炭を混合するものであり、天然ゴムの臭気を低減するために、天然ゴムの素練り時に竹炭や木炭を配合する点は開示されておらず、また、素練り時に混合することによる有利な効果も開示されていない。   Patent Document 4 below discloses a rubber odor deodorization manufacturing method in which bamboo charcoal or charcoal is mixed into rubber. However, this document is for mixing bamboo and charcoal into rubber and adhesive for the purpose of deodorization when the adhesive is mixed at the time of rubber production, and in order to reduce the odor of natural rubber, The point of blending bamboo charcoal or charcoal at the time of kneading is not disclosed, and the advantageous effect of mixing at the time of kneading is not disclosed.

なお、竹炭粉末はスタッドレスタイヤに用いることで、路面の水を吸着し氷上性能を向上することが知られている(下記特許文献5参照)。しかしながら、竹炭粉末を配合すると、一般には破断強度が低下するため、スタッドレスタイヤ以外には用いられていないのが実情である。従って、竹炭粉末を配合する場合、かかる補強性の低下を抑制することが求められる。   Incidentally, it is known that bamboo charcoal powder adsorbs water on the road surface and improves the performance on ice by using it in a studless tire (see Patent Document 5 below). However, when bamboo charcoal powder is blended, the breaking strength is generally lowered, so that it is actually not used except for studless tires. Therefore, when mix | blending bamboo charcoal powder, it is calculated | required to suppress the fall of this reinforcement.

本発明は、以上の点に鑑みてなされたものであり、天然ゴムに起因する臭気を低減してゴム組成物の製造時における作業環境を改善するとともに、加硫後のゴム製品の臭気も低減し、更にはゴム製品の補強性の低下も抑えることができるゴム組成物の製造方法を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and reduces the odor caused by natural rubber to improve the working environment during production of the rubber composition, and also reduces the odor of the rubber product after vulcanization. Furthermore, it aims at providing the manufacturing method of the rubber composition which can also suppress the fall of the reinforcement of rubber products.

本発明者は、上記課題に鑑み、鋭意検討していく中で、竹炭粉末などの植物の多孔質性炭化物の粉末を天然ゴムの素練り時に配合することにより、ゴム製造の作業環境を改善できるだけでなく、製品後の臭気も低減でき、更には、このような粉末を素練り時に配合することで、臭気の低減効果が大きく、またかかる粉末を配合した際の一般的なデメリットである補強性の低下も抑制できることを見い出し、本発明を完成するに至った。   In view of the above problems, the present inventor can improve the working environment for rubber production by blending plant porous carbide powder such as bamboo charcoal powder during mastication of natural rubber in the course of diligent study. In addition, the odor after the product can be reduced, and by adding such powders during mastication, the effect of reducing odors is great, and reinforcement is a general demerit when such powders are added. As a result, it was found that the decrease in the thickness could be suppressed, and the present invention was completed.

すなわち、本発明に係るゴム組成物の製造方法は、天然ゴムを50質量部以上含むジエン系ゴム100質量部に対し、植物の多孔質性炭化物からなる平均粒径500μm以下の粉末を0.05〜5質量部配合して第1段階の混合操作を行うことにより素練りゴムを作製し、得られた素練りゴムに、フィラーを含む配合剤を配合して第2段階の混合操作を行うものである。   That is, in the method for producing a rubber composition according to the present invention, 0.05 parts of powder having an average particle diameter of 500 μm or less made of a plant porous carbide is added to 100 parts by weight of a diene rubber containing 50 parts by weight or more of natural rubber. Mixing up to 5 parts by mass to produce a kneaded rubber by performing the first stage mixing operation, and blending the resulting kneaded rubber with a compounding agent containing a filler to perform the second stage mixing operation It is.

本発明によれば、植物の多孔質性炭化物粉末を素練り時に混合することにより、天然ゴムから揮発する臭気を吸着させ、作業場の臭気を低減することができる。また、かかる粉末を素練り時に混合することにより、その分散性が改善されると考えられ、加硫後のゴム製品を暴露したときに発生する臭気の低減効果も向上し、またその補強性の低下も抑えることができる。   ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the odor which volatilizes from natural rubber can be adsorb | sucked by mixing the porous carbide powder of a plant at the time of mastication, and the odor of a workplace can be reduced. In addition, it is considered that the dispersibility is improved by mixing such powder during mastication, and the effect of reducing odor generated when the rubber product after vulcanization is exposed is improved. The decrease can also be suppressed.

以下、本発明の実施に関連する事項について詳細に説明する。   Hereinafter, matters related to the implementation of the present invention will be described in detail.

本発明に係るゴム組成物の製造方法では、第1段階の混合操作として、天然ゴムを含むジエン系ゴムの素練りを行い、次いで、第2段階の混合操作として、得られた素練りゴムにフィラーを含む通常の配合剤を混合する混練りを行う。   In the method for producing a rubber composition according to the present invention, the diene rubber containing natural rubber is masticated as the first stage mixing operation, and then the resulting masticated rubber is mixed as the second stage mixing operation. Kneading is performed by mixing a normal compounding agent containing a filler.

第1段階の素練り工程において混合を行うゴム、すなわち素練りを行うゴムは、天然ゴムを主成分とするものであり、天然ゴムを50質量%(ジエン系ゴム全体を100質量部として天然ゴムを50質量部)以上含有するものであれば、天然ゴム単独であってもよく、天然ゴムと他のジエン系ゴムとの併用であってもよい。好ましくは、天然ゴムを70質量%以上含むことである。   The rubber to be mixed in the first mastication process, that is, the rubber to be masticated is mainly composed of natural rubber, and is 50% by mass of natural rubber (100% by mass of the whole diene rubber). Natural rubber alone or a combination of natural rubber and another diene rubber may be used. Preferably, it contains 70% by mass or more of natural rubber.

上記他のジエン系ゴムとしては、特に限定されず、例えば、イソプレンゴム(IR)、ブタジエンゴム(BR)、スチレン−ブタジエンゴム(SBR)、アクリロニトリル−ブタジエンゴム(NBR)、クロロプレンゴム(CR)、スチレン−イソプレン共重合体ゴム、ブタジエン−イソプレン共重合体、スチレン−イソプレン−ブタジエン共重合体ゴム、ブチルゴム等が挙げられる。これらはそれぞれ単独で又は2種以上組み合わせて用いることができる。   The other diene rubber is not particularly limited. For example, isoprene rubber (IR), butadiene rubber (BR), styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR), chloroprene rubber (CR), Examples thereof include styrene-isoprene copolymer rubber, butadiene-isoprene copolymer, styrene-isoprene-butadiene copolymer rubber, and butyl rubber. These can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

素練り工程では、上記ジエン系ゴム100質量部に対して、植物の多孔質性炭化物からなる粉末を0.05〜5質量部配合して混合操作を行うことにより素練りゴムを作製する。植物の多孔質性炭化物は、木や竹などの植物を材料として炭化して得られる炭素を主成分となる固体生成物からなる多孔質性物質であり、本発明ではこのような炭化物を粉砕して得られる粉末状のものが用いられる。かかる多孔質性炭化物の粉末を配合することにより、素練り時に天然ゴムから揮発する臭気を吸着して臭気を低減できるとともに、加硫時及び加硫後のゴム製品暴露により生じる臭いも吸着することができ、よって、作業環境の改善とともに、ゴム製品での臭気も低減することができる。   In the mastication step, 0.05 to 5 parts by mass of a powder composed of a plant porous carbide is blended with 100 parts by mass of the diene rubber to prepare a mastication rubber. A porous carbide of a plant is a porous substance made of a solid product mainly composed of carbon obtained by carbonizing a plant such as wood or bamboo. In the present invention, such a carbide is pulverized. A powdery product obtained in this way is used. By blending such porous carbide powder, it is possible to reduce the odor by adsorbing the odor volatilized from natural rubber during mastication, and also to absorb the odor caused by the rubber product exposure during and after vulcanization. Therefore, the odor in the rubber product can be reduced with improvement of the working environment.

該粉末の平均粒径は500μm以下であることが好ましく、より好ましくは10〜500μmであり、更に好ましくは10〜200μmである。平均粒径が500μmを超えると、臭気の吸着効果が不十分となり、また、素練り時に添加することによる補強性の低下抑制効果が不十分となる。ここで、平均粒径は、レーザ回折式粒度分布測定装置にて測定される値である。   It is preferable that the average particle diameter of this powder is 500 micrometers or less, More preferably, it is 10-500 micrometers, More preferably, it is 10-200 micrometers. When the average particle size exceeds 500 μm, the effect of adsorbing odors becomes insufficient, and the effect of suppressing the reduction in reinforcement by adding during mastication becomes insufficient. Here, the average particle diameter is a value measured by a laser diffraction particle size distribution measuring apparatus.

該粉末の比表面積は特に限定されないが、BET法(JIS K6217−7(多点法))による比表面積が100m/g以上であることが好ましく、より好ましくは150m/g以上、更に好ましくは250m/g以上である。この比表面積が大きいほど多孔質であり臭気成分の吸着性に優れるので、上限は特に限定されないが、通常は350m/g以下である。 The specific surface area of the powder is not particularly limited, but the specific surface area according to the BET method (JIS K6217-7 (multipoint method)) is preferably 100 m 2 / g or more, more preferably 150 m 2 / g or more, and still more preferably. Is 250 m 2 / g or more. The larger the specific surface area, the more porous and the better the adsorption of odor components, so the upper limit is not particularly limited, but it is usually 350 m 2 / g or less.

上記多孔質性炭化物としては、竹炭、木炭が好ましく、特に好ましくは、竹を材料として炭化して得られる竹炭である。ここでいう竹は、孟宗竹、苦竹、淡竹、紋竹などの各種の竹のほか、千鳥笹、仙台笹などの笹も含む概念である。竹炭粉末は、その特有の多孔質性により、天然ゴムから揮発する臭気の吸着性能に優れる。   As the porous carbide, bamboo charcoal and charcoal are preferable, and bamboo charcoal obtained by carbonizing bamboo as a material is particularly preferable. Bamboo here is a concept that includes various bamboos such as 孟 mong bamboo, maitake bamboo, pale bamboo, and crested bamboo, as well as bamboo such as chidori bamboo and Sendai bamboo. Bamboo charcoal powder is excellent in adsorption performance of odors volatilized from natural rubber due to its unique porosity.

竹炭の製法は、備長炭と同様に竹材を炭化するもので、例えば、竹材を窯を用いて蒸し焼きにして炭化することにより得られる。得られた竹炭を公知の粉砕機(例えば、ボールミル)を用いて粉末状に粉砕し、例えばJIS Z8801に記載の標準ふるいによって所定の粒径にふるい分けした粒状体を用いることができる。竹炭粉末の形状は、特に限定されるものではなく、例えば略球状、略立方体状、略柱状や略繊維状などの各種形状のもの、またそれらの混合物を用いることができる。   Bamboo charcoal is produced by carbonizing bamboo material in the same manner as Bincho charcoal. For example, bamboo charcoal is obtained by steaming and baking bamboo material using a kiln. The obtained bamboo charcoal can be pulverized into a powder using a known pulverizer (for example, a ball mill), and a granular material obtained by sieving to a predetermined particle size using a standard sieve described in JIS Z8801 can be used. The shape of the bamboo charcoal powder is not particularly limited, and various shapes such as a substantially spherical shape, a substantially cubic shape, a substantially columnar shape and a substantially fibrous shape, or a mixture thereof can be used.

植物の多孔質性炭化物からなる粉末は、上記ジエン系ゴム100質量部に対して、0.05〜5質量部の範囲内で配合される。該粉末の配合量が0.05質量部未満では、臭気の低減効果が不十分である。逆に配合量が5質量部を超えると、未加硫ゴムのムーニー粘度が高くなって加工性が悪化するとともに、破断強度が低下して補強性が悪化してしまう。   The powder which consists of a plant porous carbide | carbonized_material is mix | blended within the range of 0.05-5 mass parts with respect to 100 mass parts of said diene rubbers. When the blending amount of the powder is less than 0.05 parts by mass, the effect of reducing odor is insufficient. On the other hand, when the blending amount exceeds 5 parts by mass, the Mooney viscosity of the unvulcanized rubber is increased, the workability is deteriorated, the breaking strength is lowered, and the reinforcement property is deteriorated.

第1段階の素練り工程では、上記多孔質性炭化物の粉末とともに、しゃく解剤(素練り促進剤)を配合することが好ましい。しゃく解剤を配合することにより、天然ゴムの可塑化を早め、上記多孔質性炭化物の粉末の分散性を向上することができるものと考えられ、最終的なゴム組成物において補強性の低下をより効果的に抑制することができる。しゃく解剤としては、例えば、芳香族メルカプタン系、芳香族ジスルフィド系、芳香族メルカプタン金属系、またはこれらの混合系を用いることができ、特に限定されない。   In the first mastication step, it is preferable to blend a peptizer (peptizer) together with the porous carbide powder. It is considered that by adding a peptizer, the plasticization of natural rubber can be accelerated, and the dispersibility of the porous carbide powder can be improved. It can suppress more effectively. As the peptizer, for example, an aromatic mercaptan system, an aromatic disulfide system, an aromatic mercaptan metal system, or a mixed system thereof can be used, and it is not particularly limited.

しゃく解剤の配合量としては、特に限定されるものではないが、上記ジエン系ゴム100質量部に対して、0.05〜2質量部であることが好ましく、より好ましくは0.1〜1質量部である。   The blending amount of the peptizer is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.05 to 2 parts by mass, more preferably 0.1 to 1 part per 100 parts by mass of the diene rubber. Part by mass.

第1段階の素練り工程における混合操作は、一般にゴム組成物の調製に用いられるバンバリーミキサーやロール、ニーダー等の混合機を用いて行うことができ、混合機の種類は特に限定されない。混合温度も特に限定されるものではなく、例えば110〜180℃で行うことができ、より好ましくは130〜170℃、特に好ましくは140〜170℃である。   The mixing operation in the first mastication step can be performed using a Banbury mixer, a roll, a kneader or the like that is generally used for preparing a rubber composition, and the type of the mixer is not particularly limited. The mixing temperature is not particularly limited, and can be carried out, for example, at 110 to 180 ° C., more preferably 130 to 170 ° C., particularly preferably 140 to 170 ° C.

第2段階の混合操作では、上記で得られた素練りゴムに、フィラーを含む配合剤を配合して混練りを行う。この混練り工程では、通常、加硫系配合剤を除く配合剤が配合される。具体的には、フィラー(充填剤)、亜鉛華、ステアリン酸、老化防止剤、軟化剤、可塑剤、ワックスなど、ゴム組成物に通常配合される各種添加剤を配合することができる。また、この混練り工程において、天然ゴム以外のジエン系ゴムを追加的に配合し、混練してもよい。なお、上記フィラーとしては、例えば、カーボンブラック、シリカの他、クレーやタルクなどの各種無機充填剤が挙げられ、特に限定されない。   In the mixing operation in the second stage, the compounded rubber containing the filler is mixed with the kneaded rubber obtained above and kneaded. In this kneading step, a compounding agent other than the vulcanizing compounding agent is usually compounded. Specifically, various additives usually blended in the rubber composition, such as filler (filler), zinc white, stearic acid, anti-aging agent, softener, plasticizer, and wax, can be blended. In this kneading step, a diene rubber other than natural rubber may be additionally blended and kneaded. In addition, as said filler, various inorganic fillers, such as clay and a talc other than carbon black and a silica, are mentioned, for example, It does not specifically limit.

第2段階の混合操作の後、得られた混練りマスターバッチに、加硫系配合剤を配合して第3の混合操作を行うことができ、これによりゴム組成物が得られる。加硫系配合剤としては、硫黄などの加硫剤、加硫促進剤が挙げられる。これらの加硫系配合剤は、フィラーとともに第2段階の混練り工程で配合すると、せん断発熱による温度上昇でフィラーが均一に分散しない状態で加硫が進むおそれがあるため、フィラー分散後の第3工程で配合することが好ましい。   After the second stage mixing operation, the resulting kneading master batch can be mixed with a vulcanizing compounding agent to perform a third mixing operation, whereby a rubber composition is obtained. Examples of the vulcanizing compounding agent include vulcanizing agents such as sulfur and vulcanization accelerators. When these vulcanizing compounding agents are blended together with the filler in the second kneading step, vulcanization may proceed in a state where the filler is not uniformly dispersed due to a temperature rise due to shear heat generation. It is preferable to mix | blend in 3 processes.

これらの第2及び第3段階の混合操作も、一般にゴム組成物の調製に用いられるバンバリーミキサーやロール、ニーダー等の混合機を用いて行うことができ、混合操作自体は特に限定されるものではない。   These second and third stage mixing operations can also be performed using a Banbury mixer, a roll, a kneader or the like that is generally used for preparing a rubber composition, and the mixing operation itself is not particularly limited. Absent.

本発明に係るゴム組成物の用途は、特に限定されないが、トレッドやサイドウォール等のタイヤ、コンベアベルト、防振ゴムなどの各種ゴム組成物に用いることができる。該ゴム組成物をタイヤに用いる場合、常法に従い、例えば140〜180℃で加硫成形することにより、各種空気入りタイヤのゴム部分(トレッドゴムやサイドウォールゴムなど)を構成することができる。   Although the use of the rubber composition according to the present invention is not particularly limited, it can be used for various rubber compositions such as tires such as treads and sidewalls, conveyor belts, and vibration-proof rubbers. When the rubber composition is used for a tire, rubber portions (tread rubber, sidewall rubber, etc.) of various pneumatic tires can be formed by vulcanization molding at, for example, 140 to 180 ° C. according to a conventional method.

Regarding the “odor of vulcanized rubber”, a vulcanized sample (thickness 2 mm, length and width 150 mm) obtained by vulcanizing the rubber composition at 160 ° C. for 30 minutes is placed in a polyethylene bag and exposed to the outdoors for 2 weeks. The strength was evaluated. Evaluation was based on the 6-level odor intensity display method based on the 6-level odor intensity display method, and the average value of 3 monitors was adopted.
Intensity 0: No odor Intensity 1: Finally a perceived odor Intensity 2: A weak odor Intensity 3: Easily perceived odor Intensity 4: Strong odor Intensity 5: Strong odor

・破断強度:ゴム組成物を160℃×30分間で加硫した加硫サンプルについて、JIS K6251に準じて3号ダンベル型試験片を用いて、島津製作所製引張り試験機にて引張試験を実施し、比較例1の破断強度の値を100とした指数で示した。 ・ Breaking strength: A vulcanized sample obtained by vulcanizing a rubber composition at 160 ° C. for 30 minutes was subjected to a tensile test using a No. 3 dumbbell-type test piece according to JIS K6251 with a tensile tester manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation. The results are shown as an index with the value of the breaking strength of Comparative Example 1 as 100.

[素練りゴムの調製]
下記表1に示す配合に従って、第1段階混合として素練りを行った。素練り工程では、1.7Lのバンバリーミキサーを用い、ローター回転数100rpmの条件で、3分間素練りした。素練り時の排出温度は表1に示す通りである。なお、比較例4については、混合温度が130℃となった段階で排出した(低温排出の例)。各素練りゴムについて、臭い強度を評価した。結果は表1に示す通りである。
[Preparation of kneaded rubber]
According to the formulation shown in Table 1 below, mastication was performed as the first stage mixing. In the mastication step, a 1.7 L Banbury mixer was used and mastication was performed for 3 minutes under the condition of a rotor rotation speed of 100 rpm. The discharge temperature during mastication is as shown in Table 1. In addition, about the comparative example 4, it discharged | emitted when the mixing temperature became 130 degreeC (example of low temperature discharge | emission). Each masticated rubber was evaluated for odor strength. The results are as shown in Table 1.

[ゴム組成物の調製]
1.7Lのバンバリーミキサーを用い、上記で得られた素練りゴムに、表1の第2段階混合の欄に示した成分を配合して、混練りマスターバッチを得た(排出温度:150℃)。次いで、得られた混練りマスターバッチに、第3段階混合の欄に示した成分を混合して、ゴム組成物を製造した(排出温度:110℃)。得られた各ゴム組成物について、ムーニー粘度を測定するとともに、加硫サンプルについて、破断強度と臭い強度を測定評価した。結果は表1に示す通りである。
[Preparation of rubber composition]
Using a 1.7 L Banbury mixer, the components shown in the second stage mixing column of Table 1 were blended into the kneaded rubber obtained above to obtain a kneaded master batch (discharge temperature: 150 ° C. ). Next, the obtained kneading master batch was mixed with the components shown in the third stage mixing column to produce a rubber composition (discharge temperature: 110 ° C.). About each obtained rubber composition, while measuring Mooney viscosity, the rupture strength and odor strength were measured and evaluated about the vulcanized sample. The results are as shown in Table 1.

表1に示すように、通常の素練りを行った比較例1では、素練り時の臭いが強烈であり、加硫ゴムについても屋外暴露後に強い臭いを感じるものであった。これに対し、従来の作業環境改善手法として素練り時にカーボンブラックを配合した比較例2では、素練り時の臭いについては改善効果が見られたものの、加硫ゴムの暴露後の臭いについては比較例1と同等で改善効果は得られなかった。素練り時に亜鉛華を配合した比較例3でも、比較例2と同様、加硫ゴムの暴露後の臭いについては改善効果は得られなかった。比較例4では、素練り時に低温排出することで、素練り時の臭いについては改善効果に優れていたものの、加硫ゴムの暴露後の臭いについては改善効果は見られず、一方でゴム組成物のムーニー粘度が高くなって加工性が損なわれていた。   As shown in Table 1, in Comparative Example 1 in which normal mastication was performed, the odor during mastication was intense, and the vulcanized rubber also felt a strong odor after outdoor exposure. On the other hand, in Comparative Example 2 in which carbon black was blended during mastication as a conventional work environment improvement method, although an improvement effect was seen with respect to the odor during mastication, the odor after exposure to vulcanized rubber was compared. The improvement effect was not obtained as in Example 1. In Comparative Example 3 in which zinc white was blended at the time of mastication, as in Comparative Example 2, the effect of improving the odor after exposure to the vulcanized rubber was not obtained. In Comparative Example 4, by discharging at a low temperature during mastication, although the odor during mastication was excellent in the improvement effect, the odor after exposure to the vulcanized rubber was not improved, while the rubber composition The Mooney viscosity of the product increased and the processability was impaired.

比較例5は、素練り工程無しで、竹炭粉末を他の配合剤とともに直接天然ゴムに混合したものであり、この場合、破断強度が低下していた。一方、比較例6では、素練り工程で竹炭粉末を配合したものの、竹炭粉末の粒径が大きすぎて、素練り時及び加硫ゴムの状態でも臭気の低減効果が得られなった。比較例7では、素練り工程で配合した竹炭粉末の量が多すぎて、ゴム組成物のムーニー粘度が高く加工性が悪化するとともに、破断強度が大幅に悪化していた。比較例8では、通常の素練りを行った天然ゴムに、竹炭粉末を他の配合剤とともに第2段階で混合しており、この場合、素練り時に竹炭粉末を混合していないため、素練り時の臭気の低減効果が得られないことはもちろんのこと、加硫ゴムの破断強度の抑制効果にも劣っていた。   In Comparative Example 5, bamboo charcoal powder was directly mixed with natural rubber together with other compounding agents without a mastication step, and in this case, the breaking strength was reduced. On the other hand, in the comparative example 6, although bamboo charcoal powder was mix | blended at the mastication process, the particle size of the bamboo charcoal powder was too large, and the odor reduction effect was not acquired at the time of mastication and the state of vulcanized rubber. In Comparative Example 7, the amount of bamboo charcoal powder blended in the mastication process was too large, the Mooney viscosity of the rubber composition was high and processability was deteriorated, and the breaking strength was greatly deteriorated. In Comparative Example 8, bamboo charcoal powder was mixed in the second stage together with other compounding agents in natural rubber that had been subjected to normal mastication. In this case, bamboo charcoal powder was not mixed during mastication. Of course, the effect of reducing the odor at the time was not obtained, and the effect of suppressing the breaking strength of the vulcanized rubber was inferior.

これに対し、実施例1〜5であると、素練り時に竹炭粉末や木炭粉末を配合したことにより、素練り時の臭気を低減することができた。また、最終的なゴム組成物についても、ムーニー粘度の上昇を伴うことなく、即ち加工性の悪化を抑えながら、加硫ゴムの暴露後の臭気を低減することができ、また、竹炭や木炭の粉末を配合する場合のデメリットである破断強度の低下も抑制することができた。   On the other hand, in Examples 1-5, the odor at the time of mastication was able to be reduced by mix | blending bamboo charcoal powder and charcoal powder at the time of mastication. In addition, the final rubber composition can reduce the odor after exposure to vulcanized rubber without increasing Mooney viscosity, that is, while suppressing deterioration of processability. It was also possible to suppress the decrease in breaking strength, which is a disadvantage when blending powder.
