HIGH PERFORMANCE ADDITIVES FOR GREEN TIRES

Essentially, Green Tires are made possible through the use of technically
advanced polymers and rubber chemicals, such as that which LANXESS
supplies throughout the tire industry. Numerous types of materials are com-
pounded into a tire with one goal; the tire must ultimately achieve top grades
in the most important disciplines – wet grip, tire noise and fuel-efficiency.

Tire labeling makes differences visible

Until now these quality ‘grades’ of the tires could not be seen by the
customer – a shortcoming which was corrected by the EU-wide compulsory
tire labeling. Standardized labeling, which the European Commission intro-
duced in the end of 2012, provides information on three key tire performance
qualities: fuel consumption, wet grip and rolling noise.
There are seven hierarchical grades from A to G. Similar to the energy
classes on refrigerators, there is now also a clear labeling on tires, from
A to G, signaling to which quality class a product belongs.
Tires that offer particularly low rolling resistance and thus lower fuel
consumption receive the top grade: A. As a result of the label, a
customer can immediately tell how “green” his tires really are when making
a purchase. The new EU regulations aim to improve energy efficiency and
safety standards of future tires. It enables consumers to make informed
purchasing decisions.
Beside the EU other countries such as South Korea or Japan introduced a
similar tire label. Countries such as Brasil, the United States
or China have already started
to work on their

Vulcanization with Vulkacit® ZBEC

The use of vulcanization accelerators such as dithiocarbamates (ZDEC,

ZDBC, ZDMC and ZEPC) and thiurams (TMTD), just to mention the most
Theoretical vulcanization curves
important types of latex accelerators, can cause the formation of carcino-

offers the product Vulkacit® ZBEC which, according to current know-

ledge, does not form any dangerous nitrosamines (please see for
example German Technical Regulations on Hazardous Substances,
TRGS 552). It is in chemical compliance with 21 CFR FDA §§ 175.105
(Adhesives) and 177.2600 (Rubber articles intended for repeated use),
subject to the limitations of these regulations and any other applicable
Reversion
regulations. It also is in chemical compliance within certain limits with the
German BfR* Recommendation XXI (Commodities based on Natural and too slow slow ideal fast too fast

Synthetic Rubber)
* BfR = Federal Institute for Risk Assessment.

Safer production
The use of Vulkacit® ZBEC reduces the formation of nitrosamines to such
an extent that they become negligible in the manufacture of products such
as foam coatings for carpet coverings (GuT carpet regulations for Europe),
car seats made of rubberized hair and all kinds of gloves. This is particularly
important when exporting these articles to Europe and the USA where legal
specifications demand the use of “safe amines”.

Technical information
Vulkacit® ZBEC is mainly used as an ultra-accelerator for latex articles such
as dipped goods, impregnated nonwoven fabrics, and foam. It does not
cause discoloration, has a neutral odor but has low resistance to aging which
means that antioxidants must also be used. Vulcanization is slower than with
the nitrosamine-forming dithiocarbamates. The graphs below show different
vulcanization curves that can be controlled using Vulkacit® ZBEC. n One step in the production process of rubber gloves: The pre-dipping

Vulcanization of highly sensitive articles – Colloidal Sulphur 50

Fine-particle Colloidal Sulfur 50 for highly sensitive articles

In the traditional vulcanization technology of latex, sulfur is required as cross-
linker. Colloidal Sulfur 50 is a special product from LANXESS which, due to
its high transparency and outstanding dispersibility, is predominantly suita-
ble for the production of highly sensitive articles, such as the production of
condoms.

Higher product quality

The use of milled and predispersed colloidal sulfur leads to very high trans-
parency in latex films. Due to its special production process the particle size
of Colloidal Sulfur 50 is much smaller compared to standard sulfur grades.
This allows far better distribution in latex compounds, reducing sedimenta-
tion and the risk of overcuring due to poor distribution which is possible with
regular sulfur.

natural latex, for example, is enough to help ensure that for many purposes
vulcanization proceeds at an acceptable rate to give a sufficient degree of
cure. With standard grade or coarser particle size products, higher additions
or longer vulcanization times are required. Further more the articles obtained
by curing with Zinkoxyd aktiv® are more transparent compared to those
produced using other grades.

Zinc Oxide Transparent

Zinc Oxide Transparent is chemically a caustic zinc carbonate. It can be used Zinc++ in wastewater
as alternative to zinc oxide if its higher solubility in rubber and a high trans-
parency of light colored rubber article are desired. Due to its higher molecular
weight and to achieve the same degree of vulcanization, however, it is neces-
sary for stoichiometric reasons to use higher amounts of zinc carbonate than
of standard zinc oxide. Zinc carbonate also has a greater stiffening effect than

incorporated into latex. During preparation of the vulcanization paste the
amount of dispersing agent has to be increased to compensate for the larger
surface area of these highly active products. Zinkoxyd aktiv® in particular has
important benefits in the production of latex articles. Owing to its very fine
particles, Zinkoxyd aktiv® can considerably lower the zinc content of a latex
compound. At the same time, the large surface area of the zinc oxide parti-
cles prevents an increase in the number of zinc ions in the waste water. This
considerably reduces environmental impact and helps to save costs.
The concentration of zinc ions in waste water is regulated for example in the
United States by the Clean Water Act. Even in countries where there are no
such regulations, there is a need for a reduction of zinc ions in waste water
streams in accordance with the Responsible Care initiative. Since the manu-
facture of gloves necessitates several washing routines owing to the proteins,
stabilizers and chemicals contained in natural latex, large amounts of waste
water are generated. The use of finely divided, surface-active zinc oxide will
reduce the likelihood of separate treatment measures being necessary in

Coagulant WS: A product with a variety of effects

Coagulant WS was originally developed as a heat sensitizer. In practice it Coagulant WS as a release agent
turned out that this product could do a lot more. Today it is used as a release In glove manufacturing, Coagulant WS improves the release properties of the
agent, a film former, a film thickness equalizer, a defoaming agent and as a vulcanized latex when added to the pre-dip solution before applying it to the
viscosity regulator in carpet manufacture. former. This helps to avoid overstretching of the latex film while it is not yet
completely vulcanized and reduces the number of flaws. The adhesive effect
Heat sensitization with Coagulant WS of natural latex is also slightly reduced.
Since the initial phase of Coagulant WS the product is used as a coagulator
for heat sensitive latex compounds. Together with the emulsifier Emulvin®
WA, this polysiloxane specifically adjusts the coagulation point of latex com-
pounds. In this way, migration of the latex particles to the surface can be
avoided, for example, when thick textile structures such as nonwovens are
impregnated with heat-sensitive latex compounds. This property is also used
with cleaning cloths: in this case after a specific penetration time the foam
can be spontaneously coagulated into the nonwoven or fabric by infrared
treatment.

Coagulant WS for an even film thickness and more homogeneous

film formation
The addition of Coagulant WS leads to a more even film formation, especially
in the case of gloves made of NBR. Incorporating only a small amount into the
latex compound improves the rate of coagulation and thus prevents visible

improved appearance and also production is more reliable.

Coagulant WS as a defoaming agent

With its silicone-containing structure Coagulant WS has a slight defoaming
effect. In contrast to other silicone defoaming agents, however, it has no
tendency to “fish eye” formation since it was specially designed for aqueous
applications.

Coagulant WS in the carpet industry

In the case of carpet backings, e.g. for drainage knob applications
Coagulant WS can be used as a viscosity regulator in certain latices. Knobs
are mainly applied to textile floor coverings used outdoors. Only the high
viscosity of the compound prevents the knobs from collapsing during
drying, thereby ensuring that the desired drainage effect takes place.
These needlefelts or tufted carpets are then used as “artificial lawns” for the
surrounds of swimming pools or on patios and balconies.

Emulvin® AS as a dispersing agent for latex compounding

n Simplified dispersion of latex chemicals with Emulvin® AS

Dispersing agents are important chemicals in the production of latex

articles.
With Emulvin® AS, LANXESS offers a dispersing agent that has additional
benefits for the quality of latex goods through dispersions of rubber
chemicals. It wets the powder materials used in latex compounding , which
are insoluble in water to bring them into dispersion. Once materials are
dispersed, Emulvin® AS prevents re-aggregation in the latex dispersion.
Emulvin® AS is a light yellow to brown colour powder which is soluble in
water and also free flowing for excellent dosage. Replacing an existing
dispersing agent in a formulation with Emulvin® AS is possible, usually in
the ratio 1:1.
Compared to casein, dispersions based on Emulvin® AS do not show the
tendency of petrification.

Mercaptobenzothiazole products in froth flotation

Flotation is a separation process that clarifies a water phase by the removal

of suspended matter such as oil or solids. The removal is achieved by dis-
solving air in the water or waste water under pressure and then releasing
the air at atmospheric pressure in a flotation tank or basin. The released air
forms tiny bubbles which adhere to the suspended matter causing it to float
to the surface of the water where it may then be removed by a skimming
device. Flotation is very widely used in treating the industrial waste water
from oil refineries, petrochemical and chemical plants, natural gas processing
plants, and paper mills.

The chemical functionality makes MBT an excellent flotation agent used in

the processing of mineral ores. MBT gets ionized in alkaline media and con-
sists of a neutral (-hydrophobic) part and an ionic part. In NaMBT, the MBT is
already ionized. The ionic part will cover ionic parts as metals, whereas the
hydrophobic part will bond to hydrophobic gas bubbles. The gas bubbles
used in flotation processes will float these up.

Vulkacit® Merkapto and sodium mercaptobenzothiazole from LANXESS are

excellent collectors for the flotation of many precious metals like gold, lead, n Froth flotation as a process to collect certain metals from mineral ores
molybdenum, platinum, silver, copper, nickel and zinc.

Corrosion inhibitors based on mercaptobenzothiazole products

The amphiphilic character of NaMBT helps to prevent corrosion in all types of

water circuits. With its ionic part the molecule is bonding to the metal surface,
covering it and forming a film layer. As this layer is hydrophobic, the water is
repelled from the metal surface.
Sodium MBT from LANXESS is used in cooling circuits of power plants as
well as under acidic condition (high load of hydrogensulfide) in for example
gas compression units.

Bonding strength for Cohedur from 0= limited to 5= excellent

Applications
Textile fibers, such as rayon, nylon, and polyester (with special spin finish),
and metal reinforcing materials (brass- or zinc-plated) can be bonded to the
rubber directly with the Cohedur® system. Polyester fibers without a special
spin finish and aramid fibers should be suitably prepared (e.g. isocyanate
treatment).
The bonding agents belonging to the Cohedur® range are most effective
in diene rubbers such as natural rubber, SBR, BR, NBR and CR. They also
improve the adhesion substantially when used with polymers having a higher
degree of saturation, e.g. EPDM.
