Using carbon black as a rubber reinforcement material

Using carbon black as a reinforcing material has been accompanied by the rubber industry, in particular the development of the tire industry for more than a century. The use of carbon black is the most important role of the substantial increase in wear resistance. Furnace technology through the development of law, increased the production of carbon black of different flexibility. At present, with furnace production processes of different surface area and the special structure of the carbon black. As the performance, flexibility and price advantages of carbon black in the tire industry has become the car and truck tires of the main filler.
As the major tire manufacturers in Europe in 1992 to market the concept of introducing a green tire, so the situation started to change. Car tire development, that is, special SSBR with 150 ~ 170m2/gCTAB high surface area silica, as well as dispersion, I1ESfrr [a double (three ethoxy silane A-n-propyl) four-sulfide Materials], Si69 ~ double (3 Jan. 3 ethoxylation Silylation) four-sulfur] with the tread rubber, so that the car (PC) tire performance has been greatly improved. By adopting this system of filling may seem contradictory at the same time increase the rolling resistance and wet road traction performance, but also to maintain a high tread wear. This makes the tire performance in Europe and the original car's tires level of technological development has been greatly improved. L map icon that tire performance improvements. In the past, just as carbon black filler is not such a performance. Recently, has been released by silica / silane system filled with carbon black and reinforcing the comments.
At the same time substantially improve the performance of rolling resistance, wet pavement performance and pulling resistance so that the silica / silane system in Europe filler car tire tread formula in a good position. At present, the filling of this system in the United States to take advantage of the market. This may be because of tire safety and durability requirements of higher right reasons.
In addition, the upcoming Y times (Y-generation) seems to be more concerned about the environment, in the United States, low fuel consumption will also be a problem. At present, the major tire manufacturers in the United States have begun to raise the sales performance of the wet road traction tires of the new series. Automobile tires for cars and higher performance demands need to optimize the filling of this system in order to further reduce rolling resistance and clinging to improve, while maintaining high mileage. As a result, is a different surface area and contribute to the response of the new silane coupling agent of silica, as well as a new silane coupling agent. However, there are alternative silica / silane system filled way or the other is studying alternative methods.
