Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tire rubber materials technology, specifically a general-purpose TBR steel wire adhesive formulation and preparation method, which is suitable for key parts such as tire belt layers and carcass cords that require high-strength bonding with steel wire cords, and can be widely used in the industrial production of various all-steel radial tires. Background Technology

[0002] The steel cord adhesive in TBR tires is the core material connecting the steel cords to the rubber matrix. Its adhesive properties, heat generation characteristics, and processing performance directly determine the tire's service life and safety performance. Traditional steel cord adhesives have several technical drawbacks: The contradiction between carbon black dispersion and heat generation: In order to ensure the hardness and tensile stress of the rubber compound, a large amount of carbon black (50-60 parts) is required. However, traditional furnace blacks (such as HAF and ISAF) are difficult to disperse and are prone to agglomeration, resulting in uneven mixing of the rubber compound and a significant increase in heat generation. Especially when driving at high speed, excessive heat generation will accelerate the aging of the rubber compound and reduce the adhesion durability. Insufficient long-term performance of the adhesive system: Traditionally, cobalt salts are used as tackifiers. Although the initial adhesion effect is good, the adhesive tensile strength decreases significantly after long-term use (such as in humid or high-temperature environments), which affects the service life of the tire. Low production efficiency: Existing mixing processes mostly involve one-time feeding, resulting in insufficient mixing of carbon black and rubber matrix, requiring multiple re-mixing processes, which leads to long production cycles and high energy consumption; Poor versatility: The adhesive formulations for different tire specifications vary significantly and require individual adjustments, increasing production and management costs.

[0003] In existing technologies, although attempts have been made to use silica and carbon black together or to optimize the sulfidation system, the problems of synergistic effects of carbon black dispersion, heat generation and long-term adhesion have not been fundamentally solved, and there is a lack of efficient preparation processes suitable for industrial production.

[0004] Therefore, developing a TBR steel wire adhesive formulation and preparation method that is low in heat generation, high in adhesion, uniformly dispersed, and highly versatile has become an urgent problem to be solved in the industry. Summary of the Invention

[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a general-purpose TBR steel wire adhesive formulation and preparation method, which solves the problem that, although attempts have been made to use silica and carbon black together or to optimize the vulcanization system, the synergistic issues of carbon black dispersion, heat generation, and long-term adhesion have not been fundamentally resolved.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A general-purpose TBR steel wire adhesive formulation and preparation method, wherein the formulation comprises, by weight, the following: 90-110 parts natural rubber, 20-30 parts reclaimed rubber, 30-40 parts high-structure abrasion-resistant furnace black N375, 30-38 parts pyrolysis carbon black, 5-9 parts zinc oxide, 0.8-1.2 parts 203 resin, 0.8-1.2 parts antioxidant 4020, 0.8-1.2 parts antioxidant RD, 0.7-1.1 parts borylate nickel, 3-4 parts insoluble sulfur OT20, 2.5-3.5 parts insoluble sulfur 7020, 0.2-0.4 parts accelerator NS, 0.5-0.7 parts accelerator DZ, 0.1-0.2 parts anti-scorching agent, and 0.8-1.2 parts modulus reinforcing agent.

[0007] Further, the formulation preferably comprises, by weight: 100 parts natural rubber, 26 parts reclaimed rubber, 36 parts high-structure abrasion-resistant furnace black N375, 34 parts pyrolysis carbon black, 7 parts zinc oxide, 1 part 203 resin, 1 part antioxidant 4020, 1 part antioxidant RD, 0.9 parts borylated nickel, 3.5 parts insoluble sulfur OT20, 3 parts insoluble sulfur 7020, 0.3 parts accelerator NS, 0.6 parts accelerator DZ, 0.15 parts scorch inhibitor, and 1 part modulus reinforcing agent.

[0008] Furthermore, the pyrolysis carbon black has an iodine absorption value ≥80mg / g, a DBP absorption value ≥100cm3 / 100g, a moisture content ≤1%, and a particle size range of 20-50nm. It synergistically reinforces the N375 carbon black to ensure that the rubber compound has a Shore hardness of 65-75HA.

[0009] Furthermore, the nickel borate has a nickel content of ≥12% and a boron content of ≥3%, exhibits good compatibility with the adhesive at room temperature, and retains ≥95% of the adhesive tensile strength in the later stages of use, which is superior to traditional cobalt salt adhesive systems.

[0010] Furthermore, the reclaimed rubber is tire reclaimed rubber with a Mooney viscosity (ML1+4100℃) of 30-40 and a tensile strength ≥10MPa, which synergistically improves the processing fluidity and cost advantage of the rubber compound when combined with natural rubber.

[0011] Furthermore, a method for preparing a general-purpose TBR steel wire adhesive formulation includes the following steps: Step 1: Initial Mixing Stage Natural rubber, reclaimed rubber, N375 carbon black, 50%-60% pyrolysis carbon black, zinc oxide, 203 resin, antioxidant 4020, antioxidant RD, and nickel borate are put into an internal mixer and mixed for 4-6 minutes at a temperature of 110-120℃ and a rotor speed of 40-50 r / min. After cooling in a cooling open mill, the mixture is transferred to a mixing open mill for a second mixing for 2-3 minutes. Step Two: Mixing Stage The material obtained in step one and the remaining pyrolysis carbon black are fed into an internal mixer and mixed for 3-5 minutes at a temperature of 100-110℃ and a rotor speed of 35-45r / min. After cooling in a cooling open mill, the mixture is continued to be mixed in a mixing open mill for 1-2 minutes. Step 3: Final Mixing Stage The material obtained in step two is put into an internal mixer, and insoluble sulfur OT20, insoluble sulfur 7020, accelerator NS, accelerator DZ, anti-scorching agent, and modulus enhancer are added. The mixture is mixed for 2-4 minutes at a temperature of 80-90℃ and a rotor speed of 30-40 r / min. After discharge, the material is passed through a two-roll mill 3-5 times to obtain TBR steel wire adhesive.

[0012] Furthermore, in step one, the initial feeding sequence of the internal mixer is as follows: first, natural rubber and reclaimed rubber are added, and after plasticizing for 1-2 minutes, the remaining initial mixed materials are added to avoid premature agglomeration of carbon black.

[0013] Furthermore, the final mixing temperature in step three is strictly controlled at 80-90℃ to prevent premature decomposition of insoluble sulfur, ensure uniform dispersion of the sulfidation system, and scorch time ≥8min.

[0014] Furthermore, the performance indicators of the finished adhesive compound are as follows: tensile strength ≥18MPa, tear strength ≥45kN / m, steel wire bonding tensile strength 600-700N, adhesive adhesion rate 100%, Mooney viscosity at 100℃ (1+4) 40-60MU, and heat generation (100℃×20min) ≤60℃.

[0015] Furthermore, this universal TBR steel wire adhesive is suitable for steel wire bonding parts such as the belt layer and carcass cord of all-steel radial tires, and can be adapted to various specifications of TBR tires such as 9.00R20 and 11.00R20, demonstrating strong versatility.

[0016] (III) Beneficial Effects This invention provides a general-purpose TBR steel wire adhesive formulation and preparation method. It has the following beneficial effects: 1. This invention provides a general-purpose TBR steel wire adhesive formulation and preparation method, which uses N375 furnace black and pyrolysis carbon black in a ratio of 36:34. N375 ensures high strength and hardness of the adhesive, while pyrolysis carbon black has good dispersibility and low heat generation, improving processing fluidity and reducing the heat generation of the adhesive by more than 30%, thus solving the contradiction between dispersion and heat generation in traditional single carbon black filling. Furthermore, borosilicate nickel is selected to replace part of the cobalt salt. Although the initial adhesion performance is comparable to that of cobalt salt, the adhesion tensile strength retention rate is ≥95% after long-term use, significantly improving tire durability.

[0017] 2. This invention provides a general-purpose TBR steel wire bonding adhesive formulation and preparation method. By adding carbon black and vulcanization aids in stages through "initial mixing-supplementary mixing-final mixing", carbon black agglomeration and premature sulfur decomposition caused by one-time feeding are avoided. The mixing efficiency is increased by 20%, the uniformity of rubber dispersion is significantly improved, and the formulation is suitable for the steel wire bonding requirements of various specifications of TBR tires. It can be applied to different models of products without major adjustments, thereby reducing production management costs. Detailed Implementation
