Various other soft materials without the layer—lattice stmcture are used as soHd lubricants (58), eg, basic white lead or lead carbonate [598-63-0] used in thread compounds, lime [1305-78-8] as a carrier in wire drawing, talc [14807-96-6] and bentonite [1302-78-9] as fillers for grease for cable pulling, and zinc oxide [1314-13-2] in high load capacity greases. Graphite fluoride is effective as a thin-film lubricant up to 400°C and is especially useful with a suitable binder such as polyimide varnish (59). Boric acid has been shown to have promise as a self-replenishing soHd composite (60). 

Nonblack fillers such as the precipitated siHcas can reduce both rate and state of cure. The mechanism appears to be one of a competitive reaction between mbber and filler for the zinc oxide activator. Use of materials such as diethylene glycol or triethanolamine prevents this competition thereby maintaining the desired cure characteristics. Neutral fillers such as calcium carbonate (whiting) and clays have Httie or no effect on the cure properties.

The formulation of calcium chelate materials is based upon the formation of a low-solubiUty chelate between calcium hydroxide and a sahcylate. Dycal utilizes the reaction product of a polyhydric compound and sahcyhc acid. Other sahcyhc acid esters can be similarly used. Vehicles used to carry the calcium hydroxide, extenders, and fillers may include mineral oil, A/-ethyl- -toluenesulfonamide [80-39-7] and polymeric fluids. The filler additions may include titanium dioxide [13463-67-7] zinc oxide, sihca [7631-86-9], calcium sulfate, and barium sulfate [7727-43-7]. Zinc oxide and barium sulfate are useflil as x-ray opacifying agents to ensure a density greater than that of normal tooth stmcture. Resins, rosin, limed rosins, and modified rosins may serve as modifiers of the physical characteristics in both the unset and set states. 

For equivalent particle size the carbon blacks are the most powerful reinforcing fillers. However, fine particle size silicas can be very useful in non-black compounds whilst other fillers such as aluminium hydroxide, zinc oxide and calcium silicate have some reinforcing effect. 

Density. Most fillers added in rubber base formulation have a density between 2 and 2.7 g/cm-, except barium sulphate (4-4.9 g/cm- ) and zinc oxide (5.6 g/cm ). Addition of filler increases the free volume of the polymer and, in general, there is a critical concentration of filler at which the density of the formulation increases. The method of incorporation of filler in the adhesive formulation is important because air voids may appear when a poor dispersion is produced. 

Titanium dioxide is a common pigment, and zinc oxide and magnesium oxide are common fillers in rubber base adhesives. 

This chapter reports the results of studies on the physical, dynamic mechanical, and rheological behavior of zinc oxide neutralized m-EPDM, particularly in the presence of stearic acid and zinc stearate, with special reference to the effects of precipitated silica filler. 

One of the most important phenomena in material science is the reinforcement of mbber by rigid entities, such as carbon black, clays, silicates, calcium carbonate, zinc oxide, MH, and metal oxide [45 7]. Thus, these fillers or reinforcement aids are added to mbber formulations to optimize properties that meet a given service application or sets of performance parameters [48-53]. Although the original purpose is to lower the cost of the molding compounds, prime importance is now attached to the selective active fillers and their quantity that produce specific improvements in mbber physical properties. 

Attempts have been made to improve the mechanical properties of these cements by adding reinforcing fillers (Lawrence Smith, 1973 Brown Combe, 1973 Barton et al, 1975). Lawrence Smith (1973) examined alumina, stainless steel fibre, zinc silicate and zinc phosphate. The most effective filler was found to be alumina powder. When added to zinc oxide powder in a 3 2 ratio, compressive strength was increased by 80 % and tensile strength by 100 % (cements were mixed at a powder/liquid ratio of 2 1). Because of the dilution of the zinc oxide, setting time (at 37 °C) was increased by about 100%. As far as is known, this invention has not been exploited commercially. 

Some materials intended for temporary cementation and cavity lining are formulated as two pastes. One paste is formed by blending the zinc oxide powder with a mineral or vegetable oil and the other by mixing an inert filler into the liquid. These cements are much weaker, with... 

The ZOE impression paste is essentially a two-paste ZOE cement. One paste is formed by plasticizing the zinc oxide powder with 13 % of mineral or vegetable oil. The other paste consists of 12% eugenol or oil of cloves, 50% polymerized rosin, 20% silica filler, 10% resinous balsam (to improve flow) and 5 % calcium chloride (accelerator). 

The most important approach was to use poly(methyl methacrylate), PMMA, in formulations, either as a particulate filler or as a coating on zinc oxide particles (Jendresen Phillips, 1969 Jendresen et al., 1969 Civjan et al., 1972). It is claimed that such materials can be used for permanent as well as temporary cementation. 

In a further attempt to improve properties, Brauer, McLaughlin Huget (1968) examined the use of alumina as a reinforcing filler. Alumina is considerably more rigid than fused quartz. They achieved a considerable increase in strength. The preferred composition was the powder defined in Table 9.4, which had a compressive strength of 91 MPa. This zinc oxide based powder was the one most commonly used in subsequent studies by Brauer and coworkers. We shall refer to it as the EBA powder for it is the one used in commercial formulations and in a number of experimental studies. 

All commercial materials are based on calcium hydroxide and liquid alkyl salicylates (Prosser, Grolfman Wilson, 1982) and are supplied as a two-paste pack. Zinc oxide is sometimes added to the calcium hydroxide, as are neutral fillers. A paste is formed from this powder by the addition of a plasticizer examples include A-ethyl toluenesulphonamide (o- orp-) and paraffin oil, with sometimes minor additions of polypropylene glycol. The other paste is based on an alkyl salicylate as the active constituent containing an inorganic filler such as titanium dioxide, calcium sulphate, calcium tungstate or barium sulphate. Alkyl salicylates used include methyl salicylate, isobutyl salicylate, and 1-methyl trimethylene disalicylate. An example of one commercial material, Dycal, is given in Table 9.7, but its composition has been subjected to change over the years.
