PROCESS FOR PRODUCING TYRES, TYRES THUS OBTAINED AND ELASTOMERIC COMPOSITIONS USED THEREIN

摘要

Process for producing tyres, wherein crosslinking is carried out on a composition comprising: (a) an elastomeric polymer containing carboxylic groups, and (b) an epoxidized liquid organic compound containing epoxide groups located internally on the molecule. Upon heating, the elastomeric material reaches a high degree of crosslinking without the addition of conventional crosslinking agents, with crosslinking times maintained within limits which are acceptable for an industrial use. These compositions are particularly suitable for producing tread bands.
