The invention relates to a mercaptosilane-polymer blend, a process for production thereof, and also use of said blend.
In the tyre industry, sulphur silanes are sometimes used in order, in combination with silica, to improve rolling resistance, wet skid performance and abrasion resistance. The sulphur silanes normally used are liquid, and introduction of these therefore requires that the liquid silane be weighed out in advance to give portions sealed within a film or that liquid is metered directly into the mixer. In order to avoid this complicated mode of addition (most kneaders not having any liquid metering system), the sulphur silanes can be absorbed onto a carrier. The intention is that the carrier does not react with the sulphur silane, in order that the complete amount of silane is available within the tyre mixture.
EP 1285926, EP 1683801 and EP 1829922 disclose mercaptosilanes or polysulphidic silanes having polyether groups. The silanes can also have been absorbed on an organic carrier.
Furthermore, KR 850000081 discloses silane/filler blends and DE 102012205642 discloses mercaptosilane/carbon black blends.
U.S. Pat. No. 7,078,551 moreover discloses blocked mercaptosilanes on carrier.
Disadvantageous aspects of the known mercaptosilane/carrier blends are impairment of storage stability, of processability, of reinforcement performance, and of dynamic stiffness and/or dispersibility.
It is an object of the present invention to provide blends of mercaptosilanes with polymers which exhibit good storage stability and processability, good reinforcement performance, and good dynamic stiffness and dispersibility.
The invention provides a mercaptosilane-polymer blend, characterized in that this comprises at least one mercaptosilane of the general formula I

The process of the invention can be carried out continuously or batchwise.
The ratio by weight of mercaptosilane of the general formula I to polymer can be from 30:70 to 60:40, preferably from 40:60 to 50:50.
The process of the invention can be carried out at temperatures of from 5 to 150° C., preferably from 10 to 100° C., particularly preferably from 15 to 60° C. In order to avoid condensation reactions, it can be advantageous to carry out the reaction in an anhydrous environment, ideally under inert gas.
The process of the invention can be carried out at atmospheric pressure or at reduced pressure.
The mixing process in the process of the invention can use mechanical mixers. The mechanical mixers can firstly achieve uniform movement and mixing of product and can secondly avoid any excessive destruction of the granulated carrier material.
A parameter frequently used for the classification of solids mixers here is the Froude number (Fr), which gives the ratio of centrifugal acceleration to gravitational acceleration.
It is possible to use not only low-speed mixers where Fr<1, for example tumbling mixers or displacement mixers, but also high-speed mixers where Fr>1, for example impeller mixers, and also centrifugal mixers where Fr>>1.
Examples of a low-speed displacement mixer that can be used are drum mixers (for example from Engelsmann) and twin-shaft mixers (for example from Gericke or Forberg). Examples of high-speed mixers that can be used for the region where Fr>1 are ploughshare mixers (for example from Lödige) and vertical twin-shaft mixers (for example from Amixon). In the region where Fr>>1 it is possible to use centrifugal or intensive mixers (for example from Eirich or Mixaco).
Ploughshare mixers can particularly preferably be used for the process of the invention.
The mercaptosilane-polymer blend of the invention can be used as coupling agent between inorganic materials, for example glass fibres, metals, oxidic fillers, or silicas, and organic polymers, for example thermosets, thermoplastics or elastomers, or as crosslinking agent and surface modifier.

In a preferred embodiment, the rubbers can be sulphur-vulcanizable. For the production of car tyre treads it is in particular possible to use anionically polymerized S-SBR rubbers (solution SBR) with a glass transition temperature above −50° C., and also mixtures of these with diene rubbers. It is particularly preferably possible to use S-SBR rubbers whose butadiene portion has more than 20% by weight vinyl fraction. It is very particularly preferably possible to use S-SBR rubbers whose butadiene portion has more than 50% by weight vinyl fraction.
It is preferably possible to use mixtures of the abovementioned rubbers which have more than 50% by weight, particularly more than 60% by weight, S-SBR content.
The following fillers can be used as fillers for the rubber mixture of the invention:
It is preferably possible to use amounts of from 5 to 150 parts by weight, based in each case on 100 parts of rubber, of amorphous silicas produced by precipitation from solutions of silicates, with BET surface areas of from 20 to 400 m2/g, particularly from 100 m2/g to 250 m2/g.
The filler mentioned can be used alone or in a mixture.
The rubber mixture can comprise from 5 to 150 parts by weight of filler (B) and from 0.1 to 35 parts by weight, preferably from 2 to 20 parts by weight, particularly preferably from 5 to 15 parts by weight, of mercaptosilane-polymer blend (C) of the invention, where the parts by weight are based on 100 parts by weight of rubber.
The rubber mixture can also comprise silicone oil and/or alkylsilane.
The rubber mixture of the invention can comprise other known rubber auxiliaries, e.g. crosslinking agents, vulcanization accelerators, reaction accelerators, reaction retarders, antioxidants, stabilizers, processing aids, plasticizers, waxes or metal oxides, and also optionally activators such as triethanolamine, polyethylene glycol or hexanetriol.
The amounts that can be used of the rubber auxiliaries are conventional, depending inter alia on the intended use.
Conventional amounts can by way of example be amounts of from 0.1 to 50% by weight, based on rubber.
Sulphur or organic sulphur donors can be used as crosslinking agents.
The rubber mixture of the invention can comprise other vulcanization accelerators. Examples of suitable vulcanization accelerators that can be used are mercaptobenzothiazoles, sulphenamides, guanidines, dithio-carbamates, thioureas, thiocarbonates, and also zinc salts of these, for example zinc dibutyldithiocarbamate.
The rubber mixture of the invention can preferably also comprise
(D) a thiuram sulphide accelerator and/or carbamate accelerator and/or the corresponding zinc salts,
(E) a nitrogen-containing Co-activator,
(F) optionally other rubber auxiliaries and
(G) optionally other accelerators,
where the ratio by weight of accelerator (D) to nitrogen-containing Co-activator (E) is equal to or greater than 1.
The rubber mixture of the invention can comprise at least 0.25 part by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of rubber, of (D) tetrabenzylthiuram disulphide or tetramethylthiuram disulphide, at most 0.25 part by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of rubber, of (E) diphenylguanidine, and more parts by weight than (D) of (G) cyclohexyl- or dicyclohexylsulphenamide.
It is preferably possible to use sulphenamides together with guanidines and thiurams, particularly cyclohexylsulphenamide or dicylohexylsulphenamide together with diphenylguanidine and tetrabenzylthiuram disulphide or tetramethylthiuram disulphide.
Amounts that can be used of the vulcanization accelerators and sulphur are from 0.1 to 10% by weight, preferably from 0.1 to 5% by weight, based on the rubber used. It is particularly preferably possible to use amounts of from 1 to 4% by weight of sulphur and sulphenamides, amounts of from 0.2 to 1% by weight of thiurams and amounts of from 0% by weight to 0.5% by weight of guanidines.
The invention further provides a process for the production of the rubber mixture of the invention, where said process is characterized in that at least one rubber (A), at least one filler (B), at least one mercaptosilane-polymer blend (C) of the invention and optionally other rubber auxiliaries are mixed in a mixing assembly.
The blending of the rubbers with the filler and optionally rubber auxiliaries and with the mercaptosilane-polymer blend of the invention can be carried out in or on conventional mixing assemblies, such as rolls, internal mixers and mixing extruders. Rubber mixtures of this type can usually be produced in internal mixers, by first incorporating the rubbers, the filler, the mercaptosilane-polymer blend of the invention and the rubber auxiliaries by mixing at from 100 to 170° C., in one or more sequential thermomechanical mixing stages. The addition sequence and the juncture of addition of the individual components here can have a decisive effect on the resultant properties of the mixture. It is usually possible to admix the crosslinking chemicals with the resultant rubber mixture in an internal mixer or on a roll at from 40 to 110° C. and to process the mixture to give what is known as the crude mixture for the subsequent steps of the process, for example shaping and vulcanization.
The rubber mixture of the invention can be vulcanized at temperatures of from 80 to 200° C., preferably from 130 to 180° C., optionally under a pressure of from 10 to 200 bar.
The rubber mixture of the invention can be used for the production of mouldings, for example for the production of pneumatic and other tyres, tyre treads, cable sheathing, hoses, drive belts, conveyor belts, roll coverings, shoe soles, sealing elements, such as sealing rings and damping elements.
The invention further provides mouldings obtainable from the rubber mixture of the invention by vulcanization.
The mercaptosilane-polymer blends of the invention have the advantage that the mercaptosilane does not undergo any alteration even during a prolonged storage time.
Another advantage is good processability, good reinforcement performance, and good dynamic stiffness and dispersibility.
The polymer is dried for 8 hours at 26° C. and 80 mbar in a vacuum drying oven. The polymer is then weighed directly into a Somakon MP-L mechanical mixer (Somakon Verfahrenstechnik UG) and mixed at a rotation rate of 250 rpm and room temperature (Table 1), in such a way that the material rises up the outer wall. The scraper is set to a constant rotation rate of 30 rpm. The corresponding silane is applied dropwise by way of a 1.5 mm nozzle to the granulated materials by using a rotary piston pump. The metering rate varies from 7 to 7.5 g/min. The resultant product is post-treated overnight at room temperature in vacuo (50 mbar).

Technical testing takes place according to the test methods stated in Table 4.
Determination of Dispersion Coefficient
The dispersion coefficient can be determined by a topographic method described in: “Entwicklung eines Verfahrens zur Charakterisierung der Füllstoffdispersion in Gummimischungen mittels einer Oberflächentopographie [Development of a surface-topography method for characterizing filler dispersion in vulcanized rubber mixtures]” A. Wehmeier; Degree thesis 1998 at the Münster University of Applied Sciences, Steinfurt site, in Chemical Engineering Department and “Filler dispersion Analysis by Topography Measurements” Degussa AG, Applied Technology Advanced Fillers, Technical Report TR 820.
The dispersion coefficient can also alternatively be determined by means of the DIAS method (optically) at the Deutsches Institut für Kautschuktechnologie in Hanover (see H. Geisler, DIK aktuell, 1st Edition (1997) and Medalia, Rubber Age, April 1965).
The best achievable degree of dispersion is 100%, and accordingly the theoretically poorest would be 0%. Silicas with a dispersion coefficient above or equal to 90% can be classified as having high dispersibility (HD).
Explanation of the determination of dispersion coefficient by means of surface topography:
dispersion coefficient in %
total areas underlying peaks (measure of roughness)
in mm2
filler volume in %
total area tested in mm2
Table 5 states the technical data for crude mixture and vulcanisate.
In comparison with the isomolar in-situ mixture or mercaptosilane-polymer blend with polyamide, the rubber mixtures comprising the mercaptosilane-polymer blends of the invention exhibit improved processing performance (lower Mooney viscosities in the 1st mixing stage), improved reinforcement performance (higher moduli), improved dynamic stiffness and excellent dispersion.
