Description

本発明は、白色系又はカラーEPDM発泡体及びその製造方法に関するものである。     The present invention relates to a white or color EPDM foam and a method for producing the same.

従来から知られたゴム発泡体製品は、その使用目的に応じていくつかのゴム原料を混ぜ合わせ、これに配合剤を加え、加硫工程を経て製造されている。その中のエチレンプロピレンジエン共重合体ゴム(EPDM)は、耐熱性、耐トラッキング性や反発弾性がよい為その用途は極めて広く、一般ゴム製品、工業用ゴム製品、自動車用ゴム製品、建築用ゴム製品等に使用されている。例えば、EPDM発泡性組成物を金型内で加熱して1次加熱段階の予備処理を施した後、大型の金型枠内で加熱して2次加熱段階により製造する方法(特許第3181549号公報)が提案されている。     Conventionally known rubber foam products are manufactured through a vulcanization process by mixing several rubber raw materials according to the purpose of use and adding a compounding agent thereto. Among them, ethylene propylene diene copolymer rubber (EPDM) has excellent heat resistance, tracking resistance and rebound resilience, so its use is very wide. General rubber products, industrial rubber products, automotive rubber products, building rubber Used in products. For example, the EPDM foamable composition is heated in a mold and pretreated in the primary heating stage, and then heated in a large mold frame and manufactured in the secondary heating stage (Japanese Patent No. 3181549). Publication).

しかし、従来のEPDM発泡体は補強剤にカーボンブラックを使用している為、発泡体の色を黒以外にすることができなかった。 However, since the conventional EPDM foam uses carbon black as a reinforcing agent, the color of the foam could not be other than black.

従来、白色のEPDMゴム組成物を得る方法としては、酸化けい素、炭酸カルシウム、タルク、クレイなどの白色フィラーを配合したり(特開平11−310673号公報)、シリカおよび活性化炭酸カルシウムを配合する方法(特開2000−302268号公報)が知られている。
