Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cobalt salt preparation, and in particular relates to a method for preparing a vulcanization-accelerating cobalt salt for rubber. Background Art

[0002] The rubber industry is one of the important basic industries of the national economy, and its products are widely used in tires, hoses, tapes, seals and other fields.

[0003] Vulcanization is a key step in rubber processing. It forms a cross-linked network between rubber molecular chains, thereby endowing rubber products with excellent mechanical properties, heat resistance, and aging resistance. This directly impacts the performance and service life of rubber products. However, traditional vulcanization systems rarely consider the impact on the adhesion between rubber and metal frameworks.

[0004] Traditional cobalt salts are irreplaceable in rubber with metal skeleton formulas due to their excellent adhesion-promoting function. The effect of cobalt ions requires vulcanization. Only during the vulcanization process can cobalt ions promote the cross-linking of sulfur ions in the rubber and metal ions in the skeleton, thereby enhancing the adhesion between the rubber and the metal skeleton. For this reason, we propose a method for preparing vulcanization-promoting cobalt salts for rubber. Summary of the Invention
