Method for processing a crosslinkable elastomeric composition comprising Silica

摘要

A method for processing a crosslinkable elastomeric composition including at least one silica reinforcing filler and at least one sulfur-containing organosilane compound by using at least one processing apparatus having an internal metal surface, includes the following steps: (a) pretreating at least one portion of the internal metal surface of the at least one processing apparatus with at least one sulfur-free organosilane compound having at least one hydrolizable group; (b) feeding the crosslinkable elastomeric composition including silica to the at least one processing apparatus; and (c) processing the crosslinkable elastomeric composition.
