【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、シリカ配合系ゴム組成物に関し、更に詳しくは、シリカの多量配合に伴う加硫遅延および粘度増加の問題を解消すると共に引張物性等の加硫物性を向上させたシリカ配合系のタイヤトレッド用ゴム組成物に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
シリカ配合系ゴム組成物において、シリカを大量に配合すると、加硫促進剤の吸着によると見られる加硫遅延があり、またシリカのゴム中への分散性が悪く、そのため物性および性能が低下するという種々な問題があった。この問題を解消する技術として、例えば、特開平9−194641号公報では、シリカ配合系ゴム組成物に特定のアルコキシシリル基またはアシロキシシリル基を有するポリシロキサンとシランカップリング剤とを配合する技術が提案されている。
【0003】
【特許文献1】
特開平9−194641号公報
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明では、上記問題を解消すべく、先行技術とは異なる配合剤を配合することで、加硫時間が短縮でき、シリカの分散性が向上し、かつゴムの加硫物性が向上したシリカ配合系のタイヤトレッド用ゴム組成物を提供することを目的とする。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明によれば、少なくとも1種のジエン系ゴム100重量部に対し、シリカ10〜90重量部および安息香酸アンモニウム0.2〜10重量部を配合したタイヤトレッド用ゴム組成物が提供される。
【0006】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明では、シリカ配合系のタイヤトレッド用ゴム組成物、特に、シリカ高配合のシリカ配合系のタイヤトレッド用ゴム組成物に所定の安息香酸アンモニウムを所定量配合すると、上記目的が容易に達成できることを見出したものである。
【0007】
本発明のタイヤトレッド用ゴム組成物におけるゴム成分としては、天然ゴム(NR)、ポリイソプレンゴム(IR)、各種スチレン−ブタジエン共重合体ゴム(SBR)、各種ブタジエンゴム(BR)、アクリロニトリル−ブタジエン共重合体ゴム(NBR)、クロロプレンゴム(CR)等のジエン系ゴムを単独で、あるいはこれらの二種以上を併用して使用することができる。
【0008】
本発明のタイヤトレッド用ゴム組成物では、当該ジエン系ゴム100重量部に対して、シリカを10〜90重量部および安息香酸アンモニウムを0.2〜10重量部、好ましくは、0.3〜3.0重量部配合することにより、本発明の所期の目的・効果を達成することができる。シリカは、10重量部未満の配合量では、初期の補強効果を発揮することができず、また90重量部を超えると、ゴム中へのシリカ分散を良好に保つことが困難なため好ましくない。また、安息香酸アンモニウムは、0.2未満の配合量では所期の効果が得られず、また10重量部を超えると、スコーチし易くなるため好ましくない。
【0009】
当該安息香酸アンモニウムをシリカ配合系のタイヤトレッド用ゴム組成物に所定量配合することにより、スコーチを防止しながら、シリカ多量配合の問題である加硫遅延を防止できた。従来から慣用的に使用されてきた1,3−ジフェニルグアニジン等の二次促進剤では、加硫は速くなるものの、スコーチや粘度増加といった問題があるが、本発明の安息香酸アンモニウムではかかる問題は発生しなかった。また、当該安息香酸アンモニウムを所定量配合することにより、シリカ分散性が改善され、モジュラスの向上、および0℃でのtanδ値の増加といった加硫物性の改善があり、したがって、本発明のシリカ配合系のタイヤトレッド用ゴム組成物は、タイヤトレッド用ゴムとして極めて有用である。
【0010】
本発明のタイヤトレッド用ゴム組成物では、前記した成分に加えて、加硫または架橋剤、加硫または架橋促進剤、シリカ以外のカーボンブラック等の補強剤、シランカップリング剤、各種オイル、老化防止剤、充填材、可塑剤などのタイヤ用、その他一般ゴム用に配合されている各種配合剤を配合することができ、かかる配合剤は、一般的な方法で混練、加硫してゴム組成物とし、加硫または架橋するのに使用することができる。これらの配合量も、本発明の目的に反しない限り、従来の一般的な配合量とすることができる。
【0011】
【実施例】
以下、実施例および比較例によって本発明を更に説明するが、本発明の技術的範囲をこれらの実施例によって限定するものでないことは言うまでもない。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a silica-containing rubber composition, and more particularly, a silica-containing tire that eliminates the problems of vulcanization delay and viscosity increase associated with a large amount of silica and improves vulcanized physical properties such as tensile properties. The present invention relates to a rubber composition for treads .
[0002]
[Prior art]
In a silica compounded rubber composition, when a large amount of silica is compounded, there is a vulcanization delay that appears to be due to adsorption of the vulcanization accelerator, and the dispersibility of the silica in the rubber is poor, so the physical properties and performance are reduced. There were various problems. As a technique for solving this problem, for example, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-194461, a technique for blending a silica compounded rubber composition with a specific alkoxysilyl group or acyloxysilyl group-containing polysiloxane and a silane coupling agent Has been proposed.
[0003]
[Patent Document 1]
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-194641
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the present invention, in order to solve the above problem, by blending a compounding agent different from the prior art, vulcanization time can be shortened, silica dispersibility is improved, and rubber vulcanization physical properties are improved. An object of the present invention is to provide a rubber composition for tire treads .
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
According to the present invention, there is provided a rubber composition for a tire tread in which 10 to 90 parts by weight of silica and 0.2 to 10 parts by weight of ammonium benzoate are blended with 100 parts by weight of at least one diene rubber.
[0006]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In the present invention, when a predetermined amount of a predetermined ammonium benzoate is blended in a silica-blended rubber composition for tire treads , particularly a silica-blended rubber composition for tire treads , the above object can be easily achieved. Is found.
[0007]
Examples of the rubber component in the rubber composition for a tire tread of the present invention include natural rubber (NR), polyisoprene rubber (IR), various styrene-butadiene copolymer rubbers (SBR), various butadiene rubbers (BR), and acrylonitrile-butadiene. Diene rubbers such as copolymer rubber (NBR) and chloroprene rubber (CR) can be used alone or in combination of two or more thereof.
[0008]
In the rubber composition for a tire tread of the present invention , 10 to 90 parts by weight of silica and 0.2 to 10 parts by weight of ammonium benzoate, preferably 0.3 to 3 parts per 100 parts by weight of the diene rubber. By blending 0.0 part by weight, the intended purpose and effect of the present invention can be achieved. If the amount of silica is less than 10 parts by weight, the initial reinforcing effect cannot be exhibited, and if it exceeds 90 parts by weight, it is difficult to keep the silica dispersed well in the rubber. Also, ammonium benzoate is not preferable if the blending amount is less than 0.2, and the desired effect cannot be obtained, and if it exceeds 10 parts by weight, scorching is likely to occur.
[0009]
By blending a predetermined amount of the ammonium benzoate into a rubber composition for a tire tread based on silica, vulcanization delay, which is a problem of a large amount of silica, could be prevented while preventing scorching. The secondary accelerators such as 1,3-diphenylguanidine conventionally used conventionally have problems such as scorch and increased viscosity, although the vulcanization speeds up. However, the problem with the ammonium benzoate of the present invention is such a problem. Did not occur. Further, by adding a predetermined amount of the ammonium benzoate, the silica dispersibility is improved, the modulus is improved, and the vulcanization property is improved such that the tan δ value is increased at 0 ° C. Therefore, the silica compound of the present invention is improved. The rubber composition for tire treads is extremely useful as a rubber for tire treads.
[0010]
In the tire tread rubber composition of the present invention, in addition to the aforementioned components, a vulcanization or crosslinking agent, a vulcanization or crosslinking accelerator, a reinforcing agent such as carbon black other than silica, a silane coupling agent, various oils, aging Various compounding agents compounded for tires such as inhibitors, fillers, plasticizers, and other general rubbers can be compounded, and these compounding agents are kneaded and vulcanized by a general method to form a rubber composition. And can be used for vulcanization or crosslinking. These blending amounts can also be the conventional general blending amounts as long as they do not contradict the object of the present invention.
