Rubber compositions containing borate compounds

摘要

The present invention relates to rubber compositions containing borate compounds of the formula wherein R1 and R2 are independently selected from the group consisting of alkoxy radicals having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms; R3 is selected from the group consisting of alkylene groups having from 1 to 15 carbon atoms and arylene and alkyl substituted arylene groups having from 6 to 10 carbon atoms; X is selected from the group consisting of and Y is selected from the group consisting of Sx and Sex where x is an integer of from 1 to 8.
