2. Description of the Related Art Silica powder as a filler is an essential component of silicone rubber. In order to obtain a silicone rubber elastic body having practical strength, silica powder having a specific surface area of 50 m 2 / g or more is usually filled as a reinforcing filler. As a conventional reinforcing filler, generally, fumed silica of a dry method obtained by hydrolyzing silicon tetrachloride in an oxygen / hydrogen flame or an alkali metal silicate and a mineral acid are subjected to a neutralization reaction. Wet method synthetic silicic acid obtained by the above method is used.
When these silica powders are used by blending with the raw silicone rubber, their surface activity is suppressed to facilitate blending with the raw silicone rubber, the storage stability and processability of the compound are improved, and crosslinked products are used. In order to improve the physical properties of the above, a low molecular weight siloxane called a wetting agent (Wetter), an ester, a silanol group-containing silane, an alkoxy-containing silane or the like is used as a dispersant.

In addition, instead of using a wetting agent in combination, hydrophobic silica whose silica surface is previously surface-treated with siloxane or silane may be used, and the hydrophobic silica is useful as a reinforcing filler for silicone rubber. Are known [for example, Japanese Examined Patent Publication Nos. 33-9296 and 36.
-5991, Japanese Patent Publication No. 49-20739]. It is also disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 04-82023 that the wet synthetic silica is substantially hydrophobized when kneading the silicone rubber composition. The hydrophobic silica is obtained by making fumed silica hydrophobic (typically, trade name Aerosil R
972), and a wet method synthetic silicic acid made hydrophobic (typically, a trade name Nipseal SS-30P). In general, fumed silica is more expensive than wet-process silica and can provide high reinforcement and transparency, but it has a high viscosity and deteriorates the fluidity of the silicone compound. The hydrophobized product obtained by surface-treating fumed silica has a lower thickening property than the untreated product, but still has a thickening property.

Regarding the problem of thickening, it is required to have a lower thickening in injection molding, particularly in injection molding of liquid rubber having a viscosity which is about an order of magnitude lower than that of general millable rubber. To be Therefore, the hydrophobic silica of wet-process synthetic silicic acid has an advantage that it has a lower viscosity than the hydrophobic silica of fumed silica and has a high degree of freedom in blending (excellent processability). However, the conventional wet-process synthetic silicic acid hydrophobic silica has a problem that the rubber-reinforcing property is insufficient. Therefore, the object of the present invention is suitable for a reinforcing filler for silicone rubber, which has a higher viscosity than conventional hydrophobic wet synthetic silica while maintaining the physical properties of low viscosity increase and excellent workability. It is to provide a hydrophobic wet method synthetic silicic acid. That is, it is an object of the present invention to provide a silicone rubber composition having excellent processability and reinforcing properties by using only hydrophobic wet synthetic silica without adding a wetting agent.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The inventors of the present invention have conducted intensive studies to achieve the above object. As a result, the processability (thickening) and crosslinkable physical properties (tensile strength, etc.) of the hydrophobic wet-process synthetic silicic acid blended with the silicone rubber are greatly related to the degree of hydrophobization of the wet-process synthetic silicic acid. It has been found that the particle properties of wet-process synthetic silicic acid are greatly affected. That is, by blending the hydrophobic wet method synthetic silicic acid in which the degree of hydrophobization and particle property is controlled with the silicone rubber, a crosslinked silicone rubber having excellent processability and practical strength can be obtained without using a wetting agent. The present invention has been completed by discovering that it is possible. Even if a surface treatment agent is used for inexpensive and practical silicone oil, it is possible to provide an excellent hydrophobic wet synthetic silica as a reinforcing filler for silicone rubber by controlling the degree of hydrophobization and particle property. The invention is particularly useful.

The amount of di-n-butylamine adsorbed is 30 to 10
The range is 0 m · mol / kg. When the amount of adsorbed di-n-butylamine is lower than the above range, the degree of hydrophobicity is high and the viscosity increase is low, but the reinforcing performance is also low. On the other hand, if it exceeds the above range, the hydrophobicity is low and the reinforcing performance is high, but the workability is lowered. The amount of adsorbed di-n-butylamine is preferably in the range of 30 to 50 · mol / kg. In addition, the amount of adsorbed di-n-butylamine (hereinafter, "DBA
Sometimes referred to as "adsorption amount") is an index indicating the degree of hydrophobicity. It is known that ordinary silica has a large amount of silanol groups on its surface and exhibits hydrophilicity. It is also known that di-n-butylamine is ionically adsorbed on the surface of silica particles (R. Meyer: kautsc.
huku.Gummi, 7 [8], 180 ─182WT (1954)). Therefore, the degree of hydrophobicity of silica can be known from the amount of di-n-butylamine bonded to the silanol groups remaining in the hydrophobically surface-treated silica.

The secondary average particle diameter of the hydrophobic wet synthetic silica of the present invention is in the range of 1 to 5 μm, preferably 2 to 4 μm. In particular, those subjected to classification for the purpose of removing coarse particles as well as the secondary average particle diameter are more preferable. If the secondary average particle diameter becomes coarser than the above range, the desired reinforcing property cannot be obtained. The secondary average particle size of nip seal LP, which is a wet-process synthetic silicic acid that has been widely used in conventional silicone rubber, is about 8 μm, but further adjusted particle properties are required to obtain the reinforcing property for the purpose of the present invention. . As a matter of course, if it becomes extremely rough, it causes a problem of poor dispersion and deteriorates the reinforcing property. On the other hand, even if the secondary average particle diameter is smaller than the above range, the reinforcing performance is not further improved, but rather the dust scattering is increased and the workability is deteriorated. The secondary average particle diameter is related to the dispersibility of silica. Generally, silica exists as so-called secondary agglomerated particles in which primary particles, which are the ultimate particles, are complexly bound and agglomerated. Since the reinforcing property is considered to be governed by this complicated particle structure and surface activity, it is considered that adjusting the average particle size of the secondary particles is an important factor for the reinforcing property.

The hydrophobic wet method synthetic silicic acid of the present invention can be produced by a known production method. For example, in the production method for obtaining wet-process synthetic silicic acid, commercially available sodium silicate and sulfuric acid are generally used when an aqueous solution of an alkali metal silicate and a mineral acid are reacted to cause precipitation. As a method of causing precipitation, for example, in a reaction tank filled with a sodium silicate solution adjusted to a predetermined concentration, sulfuric acid is added in several steps while maintaining a constant temperature, a one-sided addition reaction method, Alternatively, there is a simultaneous addition method in which a sodium silicate solution and sulfuric acid are added for a certain period of time while maintaining a certain pH and temperature in a reaction tank in which a certain amount of warm water has been previously filled.

Further, if necessary, classification can be performed using a wind power classifier or the like to obtain a synthetic silicic acid having a desired secondary average particle diameter. The adjustment of the particle properties (pulverization and classification) in the method for obtaining the hydrophobic wet synthetic silica of the present invention may be performed before or after the hydrophobization.

However, in view of the effect of hydrophobization and its practical purpose, straight silicone oil is desirable,

By the hydrophobic treatment of silicone oil, the amount of adsorbed di-n-butylamine is decreased and the M value is increased (hydrophobicization is promoted). On the other hand, the BET specific surface area is reduced by the hydrophobic treatment of silicone oil. Therefore, the mixing ratio of the wet method synthetic silicic acid and the silicone oil is appropriately adjusted in consideration of the target degree of hydrophobicity of the present invention and according to the BET specific surface area of the wet method synthetic silicic acid used. For example,
When wet-process synthetic silicic acid having a relatively high BET specific surface area is subjected to a hydrophobic treatment with silicone oil, even if a relatively large amount of silicone oil is used, a hydrophobized wet-process synthetic silicic acid having a BET specific surface area within a predetermined range can be obtained. The obtained hydrophobized synthetic silica has a relatively high degree of hydrophobicity. For the unprocessed wet-process synthetic silicic acid having a BET specific surface area of about 200 m 2 / g, for example, wet-process synthetic silicic acid 1
By using about 4 to 10 parts by weight of silicone oil with respect to 00 parts by weight, the hydrophobized wet process synthetic silicic acid of the present invention having physical properties within a predetermined range can be obtained.

From the results of Table 1, Example 1 is comparative example 1
(Compared with untreated wet method synthetic silicic acid and wetting agent)
It can be seen that workability and reinforcement are comparable. Comparative Example 2
It can be seen that when the hydrophobicity is too high, the workability is good, but the reinforcing property is poor. In Comparative Example 3, when the degree of hydrophobicity is too low, the reinforcing property is high, but the workability is poor. Comparative Example 4
It can be seen that, with the conventional particles, the reinforcing property is insufficient even if the hydrophobicity is adjusted. The results in Table 2 also show that Example 2 is comparable in processability and reinforcement to Comparative Example 5 (combined use of untreated wet synthetic silica and a lubricant). In Comparative Example 6, when the degree of hydrophobicity is too high, the workability is good, but the reinforcing property is poor. Comparative Example 7
It can be seen that when the hydrophobicity is too low, the reinforcing property is high, but the processability is poor.
