Description

Rubber composition and conveyor belt
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a rubber composition and a conveyor belt.
Background
Conventionally, it is known that a rubber composition containing natural rubber and butadiene rubber can be used for a conveyor belt (for example, patent document 1).
In addition, in recent years, it has been demanded to impart flame retardancy to a conveyor belt.
In general, flame retarding of rubber is carried out by adding a halogen flame retardant, a phosphorus flame retardant, a metal hydroxide, an antimony compound, or other flame retardant to a rubber composition.
However, it is known that the addition of the flame retardant as described above is a factor of deteriorating physical properties of rubber (for example, patent document 2), and is a factor of deteriorating low tan δ of vulcanized rubber (for example, patent document 3).
Patent document 2 discloses that when an antimony-based flame retardant such as antimony trioxide is blended, the rubber composition is preferably not blended with the antimony-based flame retardant because it may adversely affect the physical properties of the rubber (see paragraph [0021] of patent document 2, comparative example 1).
Patent document 3 discloses that by adding a flame retardant to a diene rubber, the tan δ (under 20 ℃) of a vulcanized rubber is increased as compared with the case where no flame retardant is added to a diene rubber (the comparison results of comparative example 3 and comparative examples 4 to 6 of patent document 3).

Problems to be solved by the invention
As described above, conventionally, even if flame retardant performance can be imparted to a vulcanized rubber obtained from the rubber composition by adding a flame retardant to a rubber composition containing a diene rubber, it has been difficult to maintain the same level of power saving performance (low tan δ) as that of a vulcanized rubber obtained from a rubber composition without adding a flame retardant to the vulcanized rubber.
In addition, when the power saving performance (low tan δ) of the vulcanized rubber obtained from the rubber composition to which the flame retardant is not added is excellent at a temperature condition of-20 ℃, 0 ℃ and +20 ℃, it is more difficult to maintain the same excellent power saving performance as described above with respect to the rubber composition to which the flame retardant is added to the rubber composition.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a rubber composition which is excellent in flame retardant performance when produced into a vulcanized rubber and which can maintain excellent power saving performance of a vulcanized rubber obtained from a rubber composition to which no flame retardant is added even if a flame retardant is added.

< evaluation >
(Electricity saving Property)
Production of vulcanized sheet

Evaluation method
Using each of the vulcanized sheets produced as described above, dynamic viscoelasticity was measured under the conditions of measuring a chuck pitch of 10mm, a dynamic strain of 2% and a frequency of 20Hz by using a viscoelasticity spectrometer (manufactured by Toyo Seisakusho Co., ltd.), and loss tangents (tan. Delta.) at-20℃and 0℃and +20℃were measured. The results are shown in the column "tan δ" of table 1.
Further, tan δ at each temperature is represented by an index. Regarding tan δ at-20 ℃, tan δ "0.3950" at-20 ℃ is expressed as an index "100". Regarding tan δ at 0 ℃, tan δ "0.1835" at 0 ℃ is expressed as an index "100". For tan delta at +20 ℃, tan delta at +20 ℃ of "0.1660" is denoted as an index of "100". The case where tan δ (index) at each temperature is 100 or less is denoted as "good", and the case where tan δ (index) at each temperature exceeds 100 is denoted as "x".

The smaller the index of tan δ at each temperature, the more excellent the power saving performance.
On the other hand, even if the tan δ (index) at-20 ℃, 0 ℃ and +20 ℃ of the vulcanized rubber obtained from the rubber composition to which the flame retardant is not added is 100 or less, when the tan δ (index) at-20 ℃, 0 ℃ and +20 ℃ of the vulcanized rubber obtained from the rubber composition to which the flame retardant is added exceeds 100, the power saving performance of the vulcanized rubber obtained from the rubber composition to which the flame retardant is added is evaluated as not being able to maintain the excellent power saving performance of the vulcanized rubber obtained from the rubber composition to which the flame retardant is not added.
When the tan δ (index) of the vulcanized rubber obtained from the rubber composition to which the flame retardant was not added exceeds 100 at any one of-20 ℃, 0 ℃ and +20 ℃, the power saving performance of the vulcanized rubber was evaluated as originally poor.

According to the results shown in Table 1, comparative example 1 containing no flame retardant was excellent in power saving performance but poor in flame retardant performance.
Comparative examples 2 and 3 containing only antimony trioxide or the compound represented by the formula (1) as a flame retardant were inferior in flame retardant performance and inferior in power saving performance to comparative example 1.
Comparative examples 4 and 5, which do not contain the compound represented by formula (1) as a flame retardant, but contain chlorinated paraffin or aluminum hydroxide, have inferior power saving performance to comparative example 1.
Containing N 2 Comparative example 19, in which SA was outside the specified range of carbon black and no flame retardant was contained, was inferior in power saving performance and flame retardant performance. In addition, comparative example 6, which is the same as comparative example 19 except that the compound represented by formula (1) and antimony trioxide were included as flame retardants, was further deteriorated in power saving performance as compared with comparative example 19.
Containing N 2 The comparative example 20 having SA deviated from the carbon black of the prescribed range and containing no flame retardant was inherently inferior in power saving performance and flame retardant performance. In addition, comparative example 7, which is the same as comparative example 20 except that the compound represented by formula (1) and antimony trioxide were included as flame retardants, was further deteriorated in power saving performance as compared with comparative example 20.
Comparative example 8, which does not contain BR but SBR and does not contain flame retardant, is inherently inferior in power saving performance and flame retardant performance. In addition, comparative example 9, which is the same as comparative example 8 except that the compound represented by formula (1) and antimony trioxide were included as flame retardants, was further deteriorated in power saving performance as compared with comparative example 8.
Comparative example 10 containing no NR but SBR and no flame retardant had originally poor power saving performance and flame retardant performance. In addition, comparative example 11, which is the same as comparative example 10 except that the compound represented by formula (1) and antimony trioxide were included as flame retardants, was further deteriorated in power saving performance as compared with comparative example 10.
The comparative examples 12 and 13, which have a mass ratio of natural rubber to butadiene rubber outside the prescribed range and do not contain a flame retardant, are inferior in power saving performance and flame retardant performance.
The comparative examples 14 and 15 having a specific carbon black content outside the specified range and containing no flame retardant were inferior in power saving performance and flame retarding performance.
On the other hand, examples 1 to 3 were excellent in flame retardant performance as compared with comparative example 1, and even when the compound represented by the formula (1) and antimony trioxide were contained as flame retardants, the same excellent power saving performance as in comparative example 1 could be maintained.
Example 4 when a vulcanized rubber was produced, flame retardant performance was superior to that of comparative example 16 (the same as in example 4 except that the flame retardant was not contained), and even if the compound represented by formula (1) and antimony trioxide were contained as flame retardants, the same excellent power saving performance as in comparative example 16 could be maintained.
The same results as described above were obtained also in the comparison of example 5 and comparative example 17 and the comparison of example 6 and comparative example 18.
Thus, the rubber composition of the present invention is excellent in flame retardant performance when it is used in the production of a vulcanized rubber, and even if a flame retardant is added, it is possible to maintain excellent power saving performance of the vulcanized rubber obtained from the rubber composition without the flame retardant.
As described above, the rubber composition of the present invention can achieve both flame retardant properties and power saving properties.
In addition, the rubber composition of the present invention is excellent in power saving performance at a temperature of-20℃and 0℃and +20℃.
