BUTYL RUBBER COMPOUNDS COMPRISING A THREE COMPONENT MIXED MODIFIER SYSTEM

摘要

Rubber compounds containing a halobutyl elastomer, at least one additional elastomer, a mineral filler and at least a three component mixed modifier system comprising a silane compound, a phosphine compound and an additive containing at least one hydroxyl group and a functional group containing a basic amine. A process for preparing the compounds is also disclosed. The compounds are particularly useful in tire treads and exhibit improved processability, traction, rolling resistance and wear properties.
