The present invention relates to a rubber composition, and particularly to an ethylene-propylene rubber composition having excellent heat resistance and abrasion resistance. Conventionally, ethylene-propylene rubber has been widely used in fields that require heat resistance, such as heat-resistant conveyor belts for transporting high-temperature objects. However, although ethylene-propylene rubber has excellent heat resistance mainly in terms of bending resistance, it does not have sufficient abrasion resistance and is therefore not suitable for applications that involve severe abrasion. In addition, if the ethylene content in ethylene-propylene rubber is increased and the crosslinking density by organic peroxide is increased, both heat resistance and abrasion resistance will improve, but on the other hand, if the ethylene content exceeds 55% by weight, This results in a loss of viscosity suitable for processing by roll mills, calenders, etc., and processability such as surface tackiness required for adhesion between rubbers, making it particularly unsuitable for manufacturing belts. For this reason, it has been proposed to improve wear resistance by blending ethylene-propylene rubber and ethylene-propylene-diene rubber (Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 1982-98250).
The heat resistance is rather inferior to ethylene-propylene rubber, making it unsuitable for use at high temperatures. The present invention has been made to solve the various problems described above, and aims to provide an ethylene-propylene rubber composition that has improved heat resistance and abrasion resistance while maintaining good processability. purpose. The rubber composition according to the present invention comprises ethylene propylene rubber A having an ethylene/propylene weight ratio of 40/60 to 55/45, and ethylene propylene rubber A having an ethylene/propylene weight ratio of 40/60 to 55/45.
It is characterized in that ethylene-propylene rubber B having a ratio of 70/30 to 80/20 is blended in a weight ratio of A/B in a range of 90/10 to 50/50. The ethylene-propylene rubber A used in the present invention has an ethylene/propylene weight ratio (hereinafter referred to as E
It is called ratio. ) is 40/60 to 55/45, and the E ratio is
When it is smaller than 40/60, the vulcanized rubber has poor heat resistance and abrasion resistance, and when it is larger than 55/45, the mixed rubber of rubber A and B has the appropriate viscosity and surface tackiness necessary for processing and adhesion. does not have In contrast to the above A, ethylene-propylene rubber B has a high E ratio of 70/30.
~80/20 is required. When the E ratio is smaller than 70/30, the vulcanized rubber has poor heat resistance and abrasion resistance, and when it is larger than 80/20, it becomes difficult to mix uniformly with the ethylene-propylene rubber A, and the mixed rubber However, like the above, it does not have appropriate viscosity or surface tack. In addition, in the present invention, ethylene-
Propylene rubber does not contain dienes or polyenes. In the present invention, ethylene-propylene rubber A
The blending ratio of and B is from 90/10 in terms of weight ratio A/B.
Specified in the 50/50 range. Weight ratio A/B is 90/
When the ratio is larger than 10, the abrasion resistance of the vulcanized rubber is hardly improved compared to the vulcanized rubber of ethylene-propylene rubber A alone, while when it is smaller than 50/50, the mixed rubber has poor processability, especially This is because the appropriate viscosity, Mooney viscosity ML 1+4 (100°C), is about 30 to 65, making processing with a roll mill, calender, etc. difficult. An organic peroxide is used to vulcanize the mixed rubber. The organic peroxide is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of processing stability, it is preferable that the decomposition temperature is 100°C or higher, and specific examples include dicumyl peroxide and di-1,1-bis(t-butylperoxy).
-3,3,5-trimethyl cyclohexane,
2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di(t-butyl peroxy)hexane and the like are preferably used. The amount of organic peroxide blended is per 100 parts by weight of compounded rubber.
It is 0.005 mol to 0.05 mol. Outside this range, the vulcanized rubber does not have good heat resistance. In the rubber composition of the present invention, a co-crosslinking agent is used together with an organic peroxide during vulcanization. Examples of co-crosslinking agents include ethylene glycol dimethacrylate,
Methacrylate compounds such as trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate, allyl compounds such as triallyl cyanurate and triallyl isocyanurate, and maleimide compounds such as N,N'-m-phenylene bismaleimide are used. These co-crosslinking agents range from 0.005 to 0.05 per 100 parts by weight of mixed rubber.
When incorporated molarly, it gives the vulcanized rubber excellent heat and abrasion resistance. When the rubber composition of the present invention further contains 40 to 80 parts by weight of carbon black, 10 to 50 parts by weight of process oil and 1 to 10 parts by weight of anti-aging agent per 100 parts by weight of mixed rubber, the rubber composition has particularly good heat resistance and abrasion resistance. It can be suitably used as a rubber composition for conveyor belts with excellent properties. The type of carbon black used is not particularly limited, but if it is less than 40 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of compounded rubber, it will have poor abrasion resistance, and if it is more than 80 parts by weight, it will have poor heat resistance such as elongation and flexibility at high temperatures. inferior to Preferably it is 40 to 80 parts by weight. Moreover, paraffin oil with a low degree of unsaturation is preferably used as the process oil. If the amount is less than 10 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of rubber, heat resistance such as elongation and flexibility at high temperatures will be poor, and if it exceeds 50 parts by weight, abrasion resistance will be poor, and the content is preferably 10 to 50 parts by weight. The antiaging agent used is not particularly limited, but preferably 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline polymer, 2-mercaptobenzimidazole, N,N'-diphenyl-p-phenylenediamine, etc. are used. It will be done. The amount added to rubber is
If it is less than 1 part by weight per 100 parts by weight, the vulcanized rubber will have poor heat resistance, while if it is more than 10 parts by weight, there is no particular advantage. Preferably 2
~8 parts by weight. Various processing aids are also added as necessary. The rubber composition of the present invention has improved abrasion resistance in addition to heat resistance, and also maintains viscosity and surface tackiness suitable for processing by roll mills, calenders, etc. is E
It can only be obtained by blending ethylene-propylene rubber A with a ratio of 40/60 to 55/45 and ethylene-propylene rubber B with a high E ratio of 70/30 to 80/20 in a specific weight ratio. be. Furthermore, the rubber composition of the present invention has a high E content as described above.
Although it contains a ratio of ethylene to propylene, it has excellent processability and is therefore particularly suitable for producing heat-resistant and wear-resistant conveyor belts. The conveyor belt can be manufactured by a conventional method. For example, carbon black, an anti-aging agent, a co-crosslinking agent and, if necessary, a processing aid are added to ethylene-propylene rubbers A and B, and then the conveyor belt is manufactured using a Banbury mixer. After kneading, an organic peroxide is mixed and kneaded with rolls at a roll temperature of 40 to 100°C to prepare a rubber compound. This compounded rubber is formed into a belt shape using a roll, a calender, etc., and the belt is obtained by heating and vulcanizing at 140 to 170°C. Of course, the belt may have a core. Examples of the present invention are listed below, but the present invention is not limited to the examples. In addition, parts mean parts by weight. Examples For 100 parts of the rubber shown in Table 1, 60 parts of carbon black N330, 2 parts of anti-aging agents 2-mercaptobenzimidazole and 2,2,4-trimethyl-
A rubber compound containing 0.5 parts of 1,2-dihydroquinoline polymer, 3.0 parts of dicumyl peroxide, 3.0 parts of ethylene dimethacrylate, and 25 parts of paraffin oil was prepared, and after vulcanization at 160°C for 30 minutes, the physical properties of the rubber were examined. Ta. The results are shown in the table. In addition, the E ratio is approximately 51/49 for rubber A, approximately 74/26 for rubber B 1 , and 75/25 for rubber B 2 .
