Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、ゴム用軟化剤及びゴム組成物に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、タイヤ用トレッドゴム組成物には、天然ゴム及びジエン系ゴムが用いられ、同時に、これらのゴムと親和性が良い高芳香族系のプロセス油が軟化剤として用いられてきた。
しかし、この高芳香族系のプロセス油は、IP346/92法によるDMSO抽出物である多環芳香族化合物の含有量(以下、PCA分という)が3質量%以上と多いため、発癌性を有する可能性があることが、1989年よりEU指令で勧告されている。従って、このようなプロセス油を用いることは、安全性の面からは好ましくない。
一方、PCA分が3質量%未満のパラフィン系及びナフテン系プロセス油を配合すると、これらは、ゴム成分との親和性が悪いため、オイルブリードが発生したり、また、ブリードは発生しないが、ゴム物性が大きく低下してしまうという問題があった。
【0003】
そこで、このような問題を解決するため、従来の高芳香族系のプロセス油を特殊処理(例えば、溶剤抽出又は水素化処理)した、PCA分が3質量%未満であり、かつ、安全性が高く、ゴム成分との親和性にも優れた軟化剤が望まれており、多くの検討がなされている。
例えば、発癌性を示さない(PCA分が3質量%未満)芳香族系油が開示されている(例えば、特許文献1−5参照)。しかし、いずれも高芳香族系油を複数回溶剤抽出又は水素化処理したり、減圧蒸留残渣油の脱歴処理及び溶剤抽出等の処理による工夫がなされているが、精製工程における収率が低く、経済性が悪化する結果となっている。
また、アスファルトを混合したゴム用軟化剤が開示されている(例えば、特許文献6及び7参照)。しかし、いずれもストレートアスファルトが使用されており、粘稠で取り扱いが困難である。また、安全性に関しても、従来の高芳香族系油を混合しているため、発癌性の問題については、依然として解決されていない状況である。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a rubber softener and a rubber composition.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, natural rubber and diene rubber have been used for tire tread rubber compositions, and at the same time, highly aromatic process oils having good affinity with these rubbers have been used as softeners.
However, this highly aromatic process oil has carcinogenicity because the content of the polycyclic aromatic compound (hereinafter referred to as PCA), which is a DMSO extract by the IP346 / 92 method, is as high as 3% by mass or more. It is recommended by the EU Directive since 1989 that there is a possibility. Therefore, using such process oil is not preferable from the viewpoint of safety.
On the other hand, when paraffinic and naphthenic process oils with a PCA content of less than 3% by mass are blended, these oils have poor affinity with rubber components, so oil bleed occurs or bleed does not occur. There was a problem that the physical properties were greatly reduced.
[0003]
Therefore, in order to solve such problems, the conventional high-aromatic process oil is specially treated (for example, solvent extraction or hydrogenation treatment), the PCA content is less than 3% by mass, and safety is high. A softening agent that is high and excellent in affinity with a rubber component is desired, and many studies have been made.
For example, aromatic oils that do not exhibit carcinogenicity (PCA content is less than 3% by mass) have been disclosed (see, for example, Patent Documents 1-5). However, all of them have been devised by solvent extraction or hydrogenation treatment of highly aromatic oils multiple times, or by processing such as history removal and solvent extraction of vacuum distillation residue oil, but the yield in the purification process is low. As a result, the economic efficiency deteriorates.
Moreover, the softening agent for rubber | gum which mixed asphalt is disclosed (for example, refer patent document 6 and 7). However, straight asphalt is used for all, and it is viscous and difficult to handle. Moreover, regarding the safety, since the conventional highly aromatic oil is mixed, the problem of carcinogenicity is still unsolved.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a rubber softener and a rubber composition which are highly safe and have excellent affinity with a rubber component, economy, and handling workability. .
As a result of intensive studies to achieve the above object, the present inventors have found that it is effective to use a specific vacuum distillation residue oil and mineral oil in combination, and have completed the present invention.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
According to the first aspect of the present invention, blended with a vacuum distillation residue of crude oil having a viscosity specific gravity constant of 0.800 to 0.875 and a penetration (1/10 mm) at 25 ° C. of 300 or more. A rubber softener is provided.
[0007]
According to the 2nd aspect of this invention, the rubber composition formed by mix | blending 10-25 mass% of said rubber softeners with rubber | gum on the rubber composition whole reference | standard is provided.
[0008]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.
First, the rubber softener of the present invention will be described.
The rubber softener of the present invention is mixed with a crude oil under reduced pressure distillation residue of crude oil having a viscosity specific gravity constant of 0.800 to 0.875 and a penetration (1/10 mm) at 25 ° C. of 300 or more. . Here, the vacuum distillation residue oil means a residue oil obtained by distillation under reduced pressure from various atmospheric crude oil residues.
[0009]
When the viscosity specific gravity constant of the vacuum distillation residue oil is 0.800 to 0.875, it has good affinity with rubber when prepared as a softening agent, bleed does not occur in vulcanized rubber, and rubber physical properties are also It does not decline. The viscosity specific gravity constant is preferably 0.830 to 0.875.
[0010]
This viscosity specific gravity constant has a large relationship with the composition and molecular weight of the vacuum distillation residue oil, and means that it becomes a measure of affinity with rubber.
The viscosity specific gravity constant can be determined from the following formula (1) according to ASTM D2501-91.
[Expression 1]
Figure 0003626165
[Wherein V. G. C represents a viscosity specific gravity constant, G represents a density (g / ml) at 15 ° C., and V ′ represents a kinematic viscosity (mm 2 / s) at 100 ° C. ]
[0011]
When the penetration at 25 ° C. measured in accordance with JIS K2207-1990 is 300 or more, it does not become viscous when prepared into a softener and is excellent in handling workability. Further, the physical properties of rubber are also improved. The penetration is preferably 350 or more, more preferably 400 or more.
[0012]
The vacuum distillation residue oil used in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as the viscosity specific gravity constant and penetration are within the above ranges, but a naphthenic crude oil vacuum distillation residue oil is preferred. In addition, a viscosity specific gravity constant and penetration can be suitably adjusted mainly by selecting or mixing crude oil.
Further, the vacuum distillation residue oil used in the present invention has a kinematic viscosity at 100 ° C. of preferably 200 to 800 cst, more preferably 200 to 700 cst.
Such vacuum distillation residue oil does not show carcinogenicity. In addition, a rubber composition containing a rubber softener obtained by blending such vacuum distillation residue oil into mineral oil does not generate bleed and is excellent in rubber physical properties (for example, tensile stress).
[0013]

The PCA content is preferably less than 2.8%.
[0015]
When the flash point of mineral oil is 200 ° C. or higher, deterioration of the working environment due to oil vapor during rubber processing can be suppressed, and rubber physical properties can be further improved. The flash point is preferably 220 ° C. or higher.
[0016]
When the aniline point of the mineral oil is 100 ° C. or lower, bleeding does not occur, and rubber physical properties can be further improved. The aniline point is preferably 97 ° C. or lower.
[0017]

[0019]
The rubber softener of the present invention preferably has a mutagenicity index (MI value) according to ASTM E1687 of less than 1.0, more preferably less than 0.8. If the MI value is less than 1.0, the possibility of having carcinogenicity is reduced.
[0020]
The rubber softener of the present invention preferably has a kinematic viscosity at 100 ° C. of 50 to 80 mm 2 / s, more preferably 50 to 70 mm 2 / s. When the kinematic viscosity is 50 to 80 mm 2 / s, the physical properties of the rubber can be further improved, and the viscosity is not too high. It can be done easily.
[0021]
To the rubber softener of the present invention, additives such as an antioxidant and a plasticizer can be further added as long as the purpose is not impaired.
[0022]
The method for producing the rubber softener of the present invention is not particularly limited, and can be produced by mixing the above-described reduced-pressure distillation residue oil and mineral oil by a known method, for example, heating and mixing.
[0023]

[0038]
(Rubber kneading)
Compounding agent (1) was kneaded with a Banbury mixer for 1 minute and plasticized, then compounding agents (2) to (5) were mixed, and kneaded with a Banbury mixer for 4 minutes. Thereafter, compounding agents (6) and (7) were mixed with two rolls and kneaded for 10 minutes to obtain an unvulcanized rubber.
(Vulcanization)
Unvulcanized rubber was vulcanized with a vulcanization press at 145 ° C. for 60 minutes to obtain a rubber sheet having a thickness of 2 mm.
[0039]
A JIS No. 3 dumbbell-shaped test piece was prepared from the obtained rubber sheet, and the rubber physical properties (normal physical properties) of vulcanized rubber, the presence or absence of bleed generation, and the handling properties of the softening agent during rubber kneading were evaluated. The results are shown in Tables 6 and 7.
In addition, about rubber physical properties (hardness, elongation, tensile stress, tensile strength), the physical property value of the rubber composition (Comparative Example 6) which mix | blended the softener (comprising highly aromatic oil as mineral oil) of the comparative example 3 was mixed. Is shown as an index with 100 being 100. Regarding the overall evaluation of rubber physical properties, “◎” indicates that the index of each physical property is 90% or more, “○” indicates that there is a physical property that is at least 80% and less than 90%. However, the case where there was a physical property of less than 80% was evaluated as “x”.
The presence or absence of bleed was evaluated by visually observing the surface of the test piece after vulcanization and standing at room temperature for 3 days. The case where bleed occurred was evaluated as “present” and the case where no bleed occurred was evaluated as “not present”.
Regarding the handling property of the softener, the case where it was easy to perform manual operation when mixing with another compounding agent at normal temperature was evaluated as “◎”, the case where it was slightly difficult to handle was evaluated as “◯”, and the case where it was difficult to handle was evaluated as “X”.
