Abstract

Rubber mixtures are disclosed comprising (A) at least one styrene-butadiene rubber, (B) at least one filler and (C) at least one polysulphidic organo(alkyl polyether silane) of the general formula I [(X)(X′)(X″)Si—R I ] 2 —S m   I. The mixtures are prepared by mixing at least one styrene-butadiene rubber, and at least one filler and one polysulphidic organo(alkyl polyether silane) of the formula (I). The rubber mixtures can be used for the production of mouldings.

Claims (44)

1. A rubber mixture, comprising

(A) at least one styrene-butadiene rubber,

(B) at least one filler,

(C) more than one polysulphidic organo(alkyl polyether silane) compound of the general formula I

where

X is an alkyl polyether group —O—((CR II 2 ) w —O—) t -Alk having from 14 to 29 carbon atoms, t=from 2 to 9, w=from 2 to 9,

R II is, each independently of the other, H, a phenyl group or an alkyl group,

Alk is a branched or unbranched, saturated or unsaturated, aliphatic, aromatic or mixed aliphatic/aromatic monovalent C 10 -C 25 -hydrocarbon group,

X′ is branched or unbranched alkyl, branched or unbranched alkoxy, a branched or unbranched C 2 -C 25 alkenyloxy group, a C 6 -C 35 aryloxy group, a branched or unbranched C 7 -C 35 alkylaryloxy group, a branched or unbranched C 7 -C 35 aralkyloxy group, or an X,

X″ is branched or unbranched alkyl, branched or unbranched alkoxy, a C 2 -C 25 alkenyloxy group, a C 6 -C 35 aryloxy group, a branched or unbranched C 7 -C 35 alkylaryloxy group, a branched or unbranched C 7 -C 35 aralkyloxy group, or an X,

R I is a branched or unbranched, saturated or unsaturated, substituted or unsubstituted, aliphatic, aromatic or mixed aliphatic/aromatic divalent C 1 -C 30 hydrocarbon group,

m is from 1 to 12,

wherein the alkyl polyether groups of the polysulphidic organo(alkyl polyether silane) compounds are variously ethoxylated,

(D) a thiuram sulphide accelerator and/or carbamate accelerator and/or the corresponding zinc salts,

(E) a nitrogen-containing co-activator,

(F) optionally additional rubber auxiliaries, and

(G) optionally additional accelerators.

2. The rubber mixture according to claim 1 , wherein the polysulphidic organo(alkyl polyether silane) compounds have been absorbed onto an inert organic or inorganic carrier or has been previously reacted with an organic or inorganic carrier.

3. A process for preparation of the rubber mixture according to claim 1 comprising mixing together at least one styrene-butadiene rubber, and at least one filler and more than one polysulphidic organo(alkyl polyether silane) compound of the formula (I) are mixed.

4. A molding formed of the rubber mixture according to claim 1 .

5. An article of manufacture made from the rubber mixture according to claim 1 .

6. The article of manufacture according to claim 5 which is selected from the group consisting of a pneumatic tire, tire tread, cable sheathing, hose, drive belt, conveyor belt, roll coverings, tire, shoe soles, sealing ring and damping element.

7. The rubber mixture according to claim 1 , wherein the alkyl polyether groups of the polysulphidic organo(alkyl polyether silane) compounds have an average degree of ethoxylation of 5.

8. The rubber mixture according to claim 1 , wherein the Alk is a C 13 -hydrocarbon group.

9. The rubber mixture according to claim 1 , wherein

Alk is a C 13 -hydrocarbon group, and

the alkyl polyether groups of the polysulphidic organo(alkyl polyether silane) compounds are variously ethoxylated and have an average degree of ethoxylation of 5.

10. A rubber mixture, comprising

(A) at least one styrene-butadiene rubber,

(B) at least one filler,

(C) more than one polysulphidic organo(alkyl polyether silane) compound of the general formula I

where

X is an alkyl polyether group —O—((CR II 2 ) w —O—) t -Alk having from 14 to 29 carbon atoms, t=from 2 to 9, w=from 2 to 9,

R II is, each independently of the other, H, a phenyl group or an alkyl group,

Alk is a branched or unbranched, saturated or unsaturated, aliphatic, aromatic or mixed aliphatic/aromatic monovalent C 10 -C 25 -hydrocarbon group,

X′ is branched or unbranched alkyl, branched or unbranched alkoxy, a branched or unbranched C 2 -C 25 alkenyloxy group, a C 6 -C 35 aryloxy group, a branched or unbranched C 7 -C 35 alkylaryloxy group, a branched or unbranched C 7 -C 35 aralkyloxy group, or an X,

wherein the alkyl polyether groups of the polysulphidic organo(alkyl polyether silane) compounds have different t,

(D) a thiuram sulphide accelerator and/or carbamate accelerator and/or the corresponding zinc salts,

(E) a nitrogen-containing co-activator,

(F) optionally additional rubber auxiliaries, and

(G) optionally additional accelerators.
