Sealant material composition and pneumatic tire
As the sealant material composition forming a sealant layer of a pneumatic tire provided with the sealant layer on a tire inner surface, the sealant material composition prepared by blending from 0.1 parts by mass to 20 parts by mass of a crosslinking agent, from 0.1 parts by mass to 40 parts by mass of an organic peroxide, and from 10 parts by mass to 400 parts by mass of a liquid polymer per 100 parts by mass of a butyl rubber is used.
1. A pneumatic tire comprising: a tread portion having an annular shape extending in a tire circumferential direction; a pair of sidewall portions disposed on both sides of the tread portion; and a pair of bead portions disposed on an inner side of the sidewall portions in a tire outer diameter direction, and having at least a sealant layer made of a sealant material composition on an inner side of an innerliner layer in a tire radial direction of the tread portion, the innerliner layer comprising a halogenated butyl rubber; wherein
the sealant material composition forming the sealant layer is a blend of from 0.1 parts by mass to 20 parts by mass of sulfur as a crosslinking agent, from 0.1 parts by mass to 40 parts by mass of an organic peroxide, and from 10 parts by mass to 400 parts by mass of a liquid polymer per 100 parts by mass of a rubber component.
2. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein the sealant layer has a thickness from 0.5 mm to 5.0 mm.
3. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein the sealant layer is a sheet-like molded sealant material made of the sealant material composition and is attached entirely around a circumference of a tire inner surface.
4. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein the sealant layer is a string-like or band-like molded sealant material made of the sealant material composition and is spirally attached to a tire inner surface.
5. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein a center position of the sealant layer in a tire lateral direction is arranged within a range of ±10 mm in the tire lateral direction from a tire equator.
6. The pneumatic tire according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of belt layers are embedded in the tread portion, a layer having a smallest belt width of the plurality of belt layers is a minimum belt layer, a layer having a largest belt width of the plurality of belt layers is a maximum belt layer, a distance from a tire equator to an end portion of the minimum belt layer is La, a distance from the tire equator to an end portion of the maximum belt layer is Lb, a distance from the tire equator to an end portion of the sealant layer in a tire lateral direction is Lc, and distances La, Lb, Lc satisfy a relationship La≤Lc≤1.05×Lb.
