Use <strong>of</strong> antioxidant <strong>modified</strong> precipitated <strong>silica</strong> <strong>in</strong> natural rubber,<br />

chloroprene rubber <strong>and</strong> styrene butadiene rubber<br />

USE OF ANTIOXIDANT MODIFIED SILICA IN<br />

7.4 Experimental<br />

Materials:<br />

CHLOROPRENE RUBBER<br />

Neoprene W, light magnesium <strong>oxide</strong>, stearic acid, precipitated <strong>silica</strong>,<br />

antioxidant IPPD, dioctyl phthalate (DOP), c<strong>on</strong>venti<strong>on</strong>al <strong>z<strong>in</strong>c</strong> <strong>oxide</strong>, Na22.<br />

Preparati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> compounds<br />

Antioxidant <strong>modified</strong> <strong>silica</strong> <strong>and</strong> neat precipitated <strong>silica</strong> were mixed<br />

with neoprene W as per <strong>the</strong> formulati<strong>on</strong> given <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> Table 7.8.<br />

Compounds were prepared by mill mix<strong>in</strong>g <strong>on</strong> a laboratory size (16 x<br />

33 cm) two roll mill at a fricti<strong>on</strong> ratio <strong>of</strong> 1:1.25 as per ASTM D 3184-89 (2001).<br />

After complete mix<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>gredients <strong>the</strong> stock was passed out at a fixed<br />

nip gap. The samples were kept overnight for maturati<strong>on</strong>.<br />
