Rubber binder content

Another way of reducing the temperature of vulcanization of rubber binder is regulation of the micro structure and viscosity of the dienic oligomer. We know that liquid dienic rubbers are the macromolecules of oligomers withl,4-cis-, 1,4-trans-, and 1,2-vinyl- links with viscosities from 0.4 up to 10 Pac. It was found experimentally that production of cold-cured RubCon is possible if the content of 1,4-cis- links in a macromolecule of rubber is more than 65%, and the viscosity of the polymer is more than 17 Pa c. Increasing the viscosity of rubber up to 7 Pa c leads to lowering of the structurization temperature from 125°C to 60°C. 

Various kneader designs (e.g., ram, internal, screw, paddle, Z-, arm, and planetary kneaders. Fig. 7.7) are used to produce highly viscous (pasty) paint concentrates (master batches), uncured rubber compositions, and putties. Kneaders have a high energy consumption because they are generally used to produce systems that have a low binder content or are difficult to wet [7.23]. 

According to ASTM D 6932 (2008), the binder content of an OGFC mixture typically ranges from 5% to 7% when paving grade bitumen is used, from 6% to 8% when modified bitumen is used or from 8% to 10.5% when bitumen-rubber is used. 

The composition of A-R is highly dependent on the needs of the project. Rubber content is generally 15 to 25 percent of the binder by weight and the crumb size used ranges from fine to coarse in six different sizes. The crumb used is produced by a crumb rubber company which separates the ferrous and fabric... 

The efficacy of polyurethane and styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) as binders for ground rubber prepared from waste tires was compared to a formulation of a compound developed without binder. Without binder, the effect of both sulfur and accelerator content on tensile properties are studied, as well as the effect of ageing on these properties [29]. The suggested uses of the unbound product include rubber blocks, and ballast mats for railway applications. 

Chlorinated Polyethylene and Polypropylene. Totally chlorinated polyethylene and polypropylene have a chlorine content of 64 68%. Their properties largely correspond to those of chlorinated rubber (see Section 2.3). Chlorinated polypropylenes can be used for chemical-resistant and weather-resistant coatings. These binders are important in adhesion priming coats and heat-sealing lacquers for polypropylene foils. 

The content of the fiber component is typically 3-15%. The elastomeric binder comprises about 3-15%. The rest are fillers. Aramids are used in fiber reinforced gaskets instead of asbestos fibers. Binders typically are synthetic rubbers. Typical components of a gasket formulation are shown in Table 13.5. 

Emulsion-based adhesives are adhesives that contain aqueous synthetic resin dispersions or emulsions or rubber latices as their principal raw material or active binder [41]. They are milky white, odorless hquids with solids contents of 40 - 60 %. In quantitative terms, emulsion-based adhesives are one of the most important groups of adhesives. They set by the release of water and the formation of a film fi om the emulsified or dispersed resin or rubber droplets. 

The rubber content of the RAC mixtures shown in Figure 3 was set at 10 wt% to allow more direct comparison with Novaphalt. The absolute values of G" of the PR modified AC-10 binder are comparable to that of the standard Novaphalt ac-10 and are superior to those of the higher viscosity grade AC-30 binder. At high frequencies, the properties of the CR/AC-10 mixture fall below those exhibited by...
