Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of tire rubber technology, and particularly relates to a tire tread rubber composition, its preparation method, and a tire thereof. Background Technology
[0002] To comply with tire labeling regulations, green tire technology has been promoted. Modified solution-polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber and silica are widely used in the tread formulations of passenger car radial tires, giving them high wet grip and low rolling resistance. Silica is extensively used as a filler in tread compounds. The accelerator DPG can promote the silanization reaction of silica, improve the efficiency of the silanization reaction, adjust the pH of the silica surface, and improve the dispersion of silica. With the increase in silica usage, the amount of DPG in passenger car radial tire tread compounds is also increasing.
[0003] However, the implementation of the EU REACH regulation has also restricted the use of DPG accelerators. This is mainly because DPG decomposes at high temperatures to produce aniline, which is highly harmful to humans and the environment. Meanwhile, the use of silica in the tread rubber of high-performance passenger car radial tires is increasing. High silica adsorption of accelerators slows down the vulcanization process, making the tread a weak point. To ensure finished product performance, the vulcanization time is extended, significantly increasing costs. A contradiction arises when using DPG to balance the vulcanization rate: too much DPG results in an excessively high rubber modulus, which is detrimental to tread chipping and breakage; too little DPG leads to poor silica dispersion, resulting in decreased mechanical and dynamic properties of the rubber compound. Resolving this contradiction is a crucial issue for passenger car treads with high silica usage.
[0004] Dialkyl dithiophosphate zinc, an environmentally friendly sulfur-containing organic zinc salt, has been studied for its potential to replace DPG. The study, "Application of Alkyl Dithiophosphate Zinc in SBR / Silica System," indicates that replacing DPG with an equal amount of TPZ in the SBR / Silica system provides a similar activating effect to DPG, reducing the rolling resistance of the rubber compound. A small amount of TPZ used as a coupling activator in the masterbatch of the SBR / Silica system can reduce the amount of silane coupling agent used, improve filler dispersibility and coupling efficiency. Furthermore, the combined use of dialkyl dithiophosphate zinc and coupling agent Si69 has a synergistic effect on improving the tread rubber's resistance to reversion and reducing the interfacial energy of the filler surface.
[0005] However, in existing technologies, zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate and silane coupling agents are used in combination through physical blending, without forming chemical bonds between them. In this approach, the promoting activity and coupling efficiency of zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate still have room for improvement, and its compatibility with the rubber matrix and its directional anchoring ability on the silica surface are insufficient, limiting further optimization of vulcanization rate and hysteresis loss. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the technical problem to be solved by this invention is that the physical blending of zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate and silane coupling agents in rubber systems in existing technologies results in limited promotion and coupling efficiency. This invention proposes a tire tread rubber composition, its preparation method, and a tire that can replace DPG while achieving faster vulcanization speed and lower hysteresis loss, and can reduce the amount of silane coupling agent used, which is beneficial to reducing VOC emissions.

The masterbatch, accelerator, and vulcanizing agent are mixed, then pressed and mixed again after being lifted and pressed, and finally the rubber is discharged, sheeted, and cooled to obtain the final rubber.

The internal mixer rotor speed is 45-60 rpm, and the top bolt pressure is 60 N / cm. 2 The internal mixer is cooled to 40-50℃, and the rubber is pressed and mixed to 135-150℃.

[0031] In some embodiments, the rubber component is selected from at least one of natural rubber, polybutadiene rubber, solution-polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber, and emulsion-polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber; the silica is precipitated silica with a specific surface area of 100-300 m². 2 / g; the silane coupling agent is a polysulfide alkoxysilane, selected from at least one of Si69, Si75, KH-580, NXT, and Si818; the vulcanizing agent is selected from sulfur and / or insoluble sulfur; and other rubber additives are selected from at least one of carbon black, processing oil, resin, zinc oxide, stearic acid, antioxidant, accelerator, and scorch inhibitor.
[0032] Another aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing a tire tread rubber composition according to any of the above technical solutions, comprising: mixing rubber components, silica, silane coupling agent and modifying additives, as well as zinc oxide, stearic acid, carbon black, resin, antioxidant, protective wax and softener in an intensive manner; pressing and mixing the rubber; mixing at a constant temperature; and discharging the rubber into sheets and cooling them to obtain masterbatch.

[0034] The present invention also provides a tire, the tread of which is made of the tire tread rubber composition of any of the above claims.
[0035] To provide a clearer and more detailed description of the tire tread rubber composition, its preparation method, and the tire provided in the embodiments of the present invention, the following description will be based on specific embodiments.
[0036] Example 1 1. Preparation of modified additives (using triethoxychlorosilane for modification) (1) Under N2 protection, 22.2 g (100 mmol) of P2S5 was added to a 250 mL three-necked flask, and 50 mL of anhydrous ethanol was slowly added dropwise.

[0039] 2. Preparation of rubber compositions Prepare rubber compositions according to the formulations (parts by weight) in Table 1.
[0040] Table 1 Raw Material Formula
[0041] In Table 1, the butadiene rubber grade 9104 is a product of Zhejiang Chuanhua Co., Ltd.; the solution-polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber is composed of 50 parts SSBR1 (styrene content 21%, vinyl content 43%, dry rubber) and 41.25 parts SSBR2 (styrene content 36%, vinyl content 26%, TDAE oil 37.5 parts), a product of Kumho Petrochemical Co., Ltd., South Korea; the precipitated silica is traded as 1165MP, a product of Zhuzhou Xinglong New Materials Co., Ltd.; the silane coupling agent is traded as liquid Si75, a commercially available product; the microcrystalline wax is HG72, a product of Shandong Yanggu Huatai; the heavy naphthenic oil is V700, a product of Ningbo Hansheng Chemical Co., Ltd.; the stearic acid is SA-1845, a product of Hangzhou Zanyu Oil Technology Co., Ltd.; and the anti-slip resin is CSR6383, a product of Jiangsu Qixiang High-tech Materials Co., Ltd.
[0042] The preparation method of the above rubber composition is as follows: First stage of mixing: Butadiene rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, zinc oxide, stearic acid, silica, carbon black, silane coupling agent, resin, antioxidant, bimodal microcrystalline wax, and heavy naphthenic oil are mixed in an internal mixer to obtain the masterbatch. The rotor speed is 50 rpm, and the pressure of the top bolt is 60 N / cm². 2 The internal mixer cooling water temperature is 60℃, and the glue discharge temperature is 145℃.
[0043] Second-stage mixing: The above-mentioned masterbatch, crosslinking agent, accelerator, and silane-modified dialkyl dithiophosphate zinc are mixed in an internal mixer to obtain the final rubber. The rotor speed is 50 rpm, and the top bolt pressure is 60 N / cm. 2 The internal mixer cooling water temperature is 40℃, and the glue discharge temperature is 100℃.
[0044] The final rubber is vulcanized to obtain vulcanized rubber compound.
[0045] Example 2 The difference from Example 1 is that DPG is used to replace silane-modified dialkyl dithiophosphate zinc in an equal amount of 1.2 parts (replacing half of the DPG), while other components and processes remain unchanged.
[0046] Example 3 The difference from Example 1 is that the amount of silane-modified dialkyl dithiophosphate zinc used is 2.4 parts, the amount of silane coupling agent is 6 parts, and the other components and processes remain unchanged.
[0047] Comparative Example 1 The difference from Example 1 is that DPG is used to replace silane-modified dialkyl dithiophosphate zinc in an equal amount of 2.4 parts, while other components and process conditions remain unchanged.
[0048] Comparative Example 2 The difference from Example 1 is that an equal amount of unmodified zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate was used to replace the silane-modified product prepared in Example 1, while other components and process conditions remained unchanged.
[0049] Comparative Example 3 The difference from Example 1 is that the silane-modified product prepared in Example 1 is replaced with an equal amount of unmodified zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate, and an additional 1.5 g of triethoxysilane is added (to maintain the same molar number of silane functional groups), while other components and process conditions remain unchanged.
[0050] Performance testing The products obtained from the above embodiments and comparative examples were subjected to performance tests, and the test results are shown in Table 2.
[0051] Table 2 Performance Test Results
[0052] In Table 2, the vulcanization characteristics were tested according to the requirements of the national standard GB / T 16584-1996, with a test temperature of 161℃ and a test time of 40min; the dynamic mechanical properties were tested using temperature scanning, with a temperature range of -40℃ to 80℃, a heating rate of 2℃ / min, and a strain of 7%±0.25%; the DIN test was conducted according to GB / T 9867-2008.
[0053] Comparative Example 1 is all DPG, Example 1 is a complete replacement, Example 2 is a 1:1 replacement, Example 3 is a complete replacement with a reduction in the amount of silane coupling agent, Comparative Example 2 is unmodified zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate completely replacing DPG, and Comparative Example 3 is unmodified zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate physically mixed with silane modifier to completely replace DPG (compared with Example 1).
[0054] As can be seen from Table 2, compared with Comparative Example 1, Example 1 showed faster vulcanization speed, comparable hardness, slightly better wet slip resistance, hysteresis decreased by 22%, and improved wear resistance; Example 2 also showed similar effects, but the effect was in between; Example 3 still showed good hysteresis even after reducing the amount of silane, indicating that the filler was well dispersed and the modified product played a role in promoting the silane coupling agent.
[0055] Compared with Comparative Example 2, the silane-modified product of Example 1 has a faster vulcanization speed and lower hysteresis. This may be because the silane groups in the silane-modified dialkyl dithiophosphate zinc can form strong chemical bonds with the silanol groups on the surface of silica. At the same time, the zinc dithiophosphate partially participates in the construction of the vulcanization network, which enhances the interaction between filler and rubber and weakens the interaction between fillers. This is manifested in a reduced Payne effect and a significant reduction in the tanδ value at 70°C, thereby effectively reducing the rolling resistance of the tire and improving its wear resistance.
[0056] Compared with Comparative Example 3, Example 1 is a chemical pre-reaction, which may contain bridging structures such as Si-OP, Si-SP or Si-S-Zn. It has better synergistic effect than simple physical mixing, with faster vulcanization speed, lower hysteresis loss and slightly better wear resistance.
[0057] During the tire vulcanization process, the shortest time during which the tire rubber compound does not produce bubbles is defined as the "foaming point." Using this as a benchmark and setting a safety factor, the "positive vulcanization time" that ensures tire quality can be obtained. The test is conducted on a tire with the weakest point of vulcanization on the tread, specifically a specification 215 / 55R17 98V. The procedure involves directly dissecting the tire after vulcanizing at the weakest point of the tread at the shortest vulcanization time to confirm whether bubbles have been generated. This is generally called the bubble estimation test in industry.
[0058] Using Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, a bubble estimation test was conducted on tires with weak vulcanization points on the tread. The results are shown in Table 3.
[0059] Table 3. Bubble estimation results for 215 / 55R17 98V tires
[0060] The production formula in Table 3 refers to Comparative Example 1, and the experimental formula refers to Example 1.
[0061] Combined with Table 3 and Figure 1 , 2 It was found that the experimental method was 1.5 minutes faster than the production formula, significantly reducing vulcanization costs and enhancing competitiveness.
[0062] Combination Figure 3 , 4 The DMA temperature scan graphs of the examples and comparative examples show that Example 1 has the least hysteresis loss and higher wear resistance, and can completely replace DPG (Comparative Example 1). Example 3 shows that it can reduce the amount of silane used and reduce VOC emissions. After modification, Example 1 is better than the unmodified (Comparative Example 2) and the simple physical mixing (Comparative Example 3).
[0063] In summary, the above-mentioned technical solution of the present invention has the following characteristics: 1. The vulcanization rate is significantly accelerated. This invention uses silane-modified dialkyl dithiophosphate zinc to replace DPG. Because the silane group is chemically bonded to the zinc dithiophosphate molecule, this modified product can participate more effectively in the silanization and sulfidation reactions on the surface of silica during the sulfidation process, thereby significantly shortening the positive sulfidation time (t). 90 ).
[0064] 2. The lag loss is significantly reduced. Because the silane groups in silane-modified dialkyl dithiophosphate zinc can form strong chemical bonds with the silanol groups on the surface of silica, and the zinc dithiophosphate partially participates in the construction of the vulcanization network, the interaction between filler and rubber is enhanced and the interaction between fillers is weakened. This is manifested as a reduction in the Payne effect and a significant reduction in the tanδ value at 70℃, thereby effectively reducing the rolling resistance of the tire.
[0065] 3. Completely replaces DPG, achieving environmental protection. The composition of this invention does not contain DPG, thus eliminating the environmental hazard of aniline substances released during the processing and use of guanidine promoters.
[0066] 4. Synergistic effect, reducing the amount of silane coupling agent used In this invention, the silane-modified dialkyl dithiophosphate zinc itself contains silane functional groups, which can partially replace the added silane coupling agent, reducing the amount of expensive silane coupling agent while ensuring or improving performance.
[0067] 5. When the precipitated silica tire tread is a weak point in vulcanization, the vulcanization time can be shortened, the vulcanization cost can be significantly reduced, and competitiveness can be enhanced.
