Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an anti-vibration rubber composition and an anti-vibration rubber member for use in anti-vibration applications in vehicles such as automobiles and trains. Background Art

[0002] Anti-vibration rubber compositions containing diene rubbers such as natural rubber may revert to vulcanization when in an over-vulcanized state. Reversion is a phenomenon in which polysulfide bonds and disulfide bonds are converted into monosulfide bonds, and the monosulfide bonds undergo a cleavage reaction accompanied by the formation of thiophene rings, thereby reducing the vulcanization density, and there is a concern that various properties may deteriorate.

[0003] Several methods for improving the reversion resistance of the anti-vibration rubber composition have been proposed. For example, as an anti-reversion agent added to the anti-vibration rubber composition, 1,3-bis(citraconimidomethyl)benzene, 1,6-sodium hexamethylene dithiosulfate (for example, see Patent Document 1, etc.), zinc monomethacrylate (ZMMA), etc. have been proposed.

[0041] In the present invention, in the vibration-proof rubber composition containing components (A) to (E), it is important to control the contents of the (B) bismaleimide compound, the (C) sulfenamide vulcanization accelerator, and the (D) sulfur vulcanizing agent within a specific range, and to control the mass ratio of the (C) sulfenamide vulcanization accelerator to the (D) sulfur vulcanizing agent within a specific range. If these are not controlled within a specific range, it is not possible to suppress the decrease in durability while improving the reversion resistance, and thus the problem of the present invention cannot be fully solved.

[0042] Hereinafter, constituent materials and the like of the vibration-proof rubber composition will be described in detail.

[0043] [(A) Diene rubber]

[0044] The vibration-proof rubber composition contains (A) diene rubber as a rubber component. As (A) diene rubber, for example, natural rubber (NR), butadiene rubber (BR), styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), chloroprene rubber (CR), isoprene rubber (IR), acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR), ethylene-propylene-diene rubber (EPDM), butyl rubber (IIR), chloroprene rubber (CR), etc. can be listed. They can be used alone or in combination of two or more. Among them, natural rubber (NR) is preferred from the viewpoint of improving durability.

[0045] The (A) diene rubber used in the vibration-proof rubber composition is preferably a diene rubber containing natural rubber (NR) as a main component. Here, the "main component" means that the (A) diene rubber contains 50% by mass or more, preferably 60% by mass or more, more preferably 70% by mass or more, further preferably 80% by mass or more, and particularly preferably 90 to 100% by mass, relative to the total amount (100% by mass) of the diene rubber.

[0046] In addition, the vibration-proof rubber composition preferably contains substantially no rubber component other than the (A) diene rubber. For example, the content of the rubber component other than the (A) diene rubber is less than 1 part by mass, preferably less than 0.1 part by mass, and more preferably 0 part by mass, relative to 100 parts by mass of the (A) diene rubber.

[0047] The content of the (A) diene rubber contained in the present anti-vibration rubber composition is usually 45% by mass or more, preferably about 45 to 70% by mass, or about 50 to 65% by mass, based on the total amount (100% by mass) of the present anti-vibration rubber composition.

[0048] [(B) Bismaleimide compounds]

[0049] This vibration-proof rubber composition contains a specific amount of (B) bismaleimide compound.

Among them, from the viewpoint of taking into account both vulcanization reversion resistance and durability, N, N'-m-phenylene bismaleimide is preferred.

[0050] From the viewpoint of achieving both reversion resistance and durability, it is important to make the content of the (B) bismaleimide compound 0.6 to 5.5 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the (A) diene rubber. Outside this range, there is a tendency for durability to decrease, making it difficult to achieve both reversion resistance and durability.

[0051] From the viewpoint of further improving the reversion resistance and durability, the content of the bismaleimide compound (B) is preferably 0.7 to 5.2 parts by mass.

[0052] [(C) Sulfenamide-based vulcanization accelerator]

[0061] From the viewpoint of further improving the reversion resistance and durability, the content of the sulfur-based vulcanizing agent (D) is preferably 0.5 to 5.5 parts by mass.

[0062] From the viewpoint of achieving both reversion resistance and durability, it is important to set the mass ratio of the (C) sulfenamide vulcanization accelerator to the (D) sulfur vulcanizing agent [(C) / (D)] to 0.15 to 5.0. Outside this range, durability tends to decrease, making it difficult to achieve both reversion resistance and durability.

[0074] From the viewpoint of achieving both reversion resistance and durability, the DBA (di-n-butylamine) adsorption amount of silica is preferably 20 to 100 mmol / kg, for example. The DBA adsorption amount represents the amount of DBA adsorbed on the hydroxyl groups on the surface of silica, and is expressed as mmol of DBA adsorbed on 1 kg of silica.

[0075] From the viewpoint of achieving both reversion resistance and durability, the content of the (E) inorganic filler is preferably 10 to 90 parts by mass, more preferably 20 to 80 parts by mass, and even more preferably 40 to 70 parts by mass based on 100 parts by mass of the (A) diene rubber.

[0115] Next, the above raw materials were blended and kneaded in the ratio shown in Table 1 to prepare a vibration-proof rubber composition. The above kneading was performed as follows: the raw materials other than the sulfur-based vulcanizing agent and the sulfenamide-based vulcanization accelerator were kneaded at 140° C. for 5 minutes using a Banbury mixer, and then the sulfur-based vulcanizing agent and the sulfenamide-based vulcanization accelerator were blended and kneaded at 60° C. for 5 minutes using an open roll.

[0116] Using the vibration-proof rubber compositions of Examples and Comparative Examples obtained above, various properties were evaluated according to the following criteria.

[0117] <Reversion resistance evaluation test>

[0118] For each anti-vibration rubber composition, a vulcanization test was carried out at 170°C using a vibration type vulcanization tester (rheometer tester), and the maximum elastic torque (MH) and the torque (ML) after 30 seconds to 5 minutes from reaching the maximum elastic torque (MH) were measured, and the vulcanization reversion rate (%) was calculated using the following formula.

[0138] The anti-vibration rubber component formed from the vulcanized product of the anti-vibration rubber composition can improve the anti-vulcanization reversion resistance while suppressing the decrease in durability, and thus can exhibit excellent performance as a material for anti-vibration rubber. For example, it can be used as a component of an engine mount, a stabilizer bushing, a suspension bushing, a motor mount, a subframe mount, etc. used in a vehicle such as an automobile.
