RUBBER TYRE COMPOSITION CONTAINING A DIESTER PLASTICIZER
Rubber composition comprising at least one diene elastomer, one reinforcing filler and one 1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylate diester plasticizer corresponding to the formula (R hydrocarbon radical): The invention also relates to the use of such a composition in the manufacture of a tyre or of a tyre semi-finished product made of rubber, in particular of a tyre tread exhibiting an improved wet grip
Rubber tyre composition containing a diester plasticizer
A tire comprising a rubber composition comprising: at least one diene elastomer selected from the group consisting of polybutadienes, synthetic polyisoprenes, natural rubber, butadiene copolymers, isoprene copolymers and the mixtures of these elastomers, a reinforcing filler, and a 1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylate diester plasticizer corresponding to
- How many raw materials go into tire composition?
- Over 200 raw materials go into tire composition. Researchers draw on this extensive array to combine tire components, each of which has a role to play, depending on the type of tire produced. The rubber compounds are made up of elastomers, renforcing fillers, plasticizers and others chemicals elements.
- What type of rubber is used in the tire industry?
- It is used in many parts of the tire, mainly used for truck and earthmover tire tread 60% of rubber used in the tire industry is synthetic rubber, produced from petroleum-derived hydrocarbons, although natural rubber is still necessary for the remaining 40%.
- Why is silica used in tires?
- It represents 25 to 30% of the rubber composition and gives tires their distinctive color. Silica, obtained from sand, has properties that have long been recognized, including the improved resistance of rubber compounds to tearing.
- What is synthetic rubber used for?
- Synthetic rubber also provides other specific properties, most notably in the areas of longevity and rolling resistance. It’s mainly used for passenger car and motorcycle tire as it gives them good grip performances. Discovered in 1915, carbon black added to the rubber compound produces a tenfold increase in wear resistance of the tires.
