Abstract

A high damping elastomer composition that has a high damping capability and is superior in the temperature dependency of rigidity. The high damping elastomer composition has at least one styrene block polymer as a main component. The ratio of a diblock component in the overall styrene block polymer is in the range of 50 to 95 wt. %.

Claims (10)

1. A high damping elastomer composition for controlling and damping vibrations in the field of construction, the composition comprising the following (A), (B) and (C), wherein a ratio of (B) is 20 to 100 weight parts relative to 100 weight parts of (A), and a ratio of (C) is 50 to 120 weight parts relative to 100 weights parts of (A):

(A) a styrene block copolymer consisting of styrene-isoprene-styrene block copolymer, wherein the styrene-isoprene-styrene block copolymer contains a styrene-isoprene diblock component at 50 to 95 wt. % in the overall styrene-isoprene-styrene block copolymer;

(B) a tackifier; and

(C) a plasticizer.

2. The high damping elastomer composition according to claim 1 , wherein the tackifier is at least one of a hydrogenated terpene resin and a maleic modified rosin.

3. The high damping elastomer composition according to claim 1 , wherein the plasticizer is naphthene oil.

4. The high damping elastomer composition according to claim 1 , further comprising a reinforcing material in addition to the above mentioned (A), (B) and (C).

5. The high damping elastomer composition according to claim 4 , wherein the reinforcing material is a precipitated calcium carbonate light.

6. The high damping elastomer composition according to claim 1 , further comprising an antioxidant in addition to the above mentioned (A), (B) and (C).

7. The high damping elastomer composition according to claim 6 , wherein the antioxidant is a phenol-based antioxidant.
