Rubber blend with improved rolling resistance behavior
A rubber blend, particularly for pneumatic vehicle tires, harnesses, straps and hoses. The rubber blend includes at least one rubber blend A of a solid styrene-butadiene rubber with an average molecular weight M n of 100,000 to 5,000,000 g/mol and a liquid butadiene rubber with an average molecular weight M n of 500 to 9000 g/mol, wherein the styrene-butadiene rubber is solution-polymerized or emulsion-polymerized, as well as 30 to 300 phr of at least one silicic acid and further blend components.
1. A rubber mixture comprising:
at least one rubber blend A which is composed of a solid solution-polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber with an average molar mass M n of from 100 000 to 5 000 000 g/mol, extended with a liquid butadiene rubber with an average molar mass M n of from 500 to 5000 g/mol;
from 30 to 300 phr of at least one silica; and
further mixture constituents;
wherein the rubber mixture also comprises at least one further liquid butadiene rubber with average molar mass M n of from 500 to 9000 g/mol as plasticizer,
wherein the rubber mixture is free from additional plasticizers,
wherein the rubber mixture further comprises from 0.1 to 20 phr of carbon black,
wherein a proportion of the solid rubber of the rubber blend A, based on a total amount of the solid rubber in the rubber mixture, is at least 60 phr, and
wherein the rubber mixture also comprises at least one solid butadiene rubber having an average molar mass M n of from 200 000 to 3 000 000 g/mol and a cis-content of at least 80% by weight.
2. The rubber mixture as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an amount of the at least one silica is from 50 to 300 phr.
3. A method of producing a tire comprising preparing the rubber mixture as claimed in claim 1 .
4. The method as claimed in claim 3 for producing the tread or a body mixture of a tire.
5. A method of producing a hose, drive belt or a belt comprising preparing the rubber mixture as claimed in claim 1 .
