Rubber compounding resins

Hard products may also be made by vulcanising rubber (natural or synthetic) using only about two parts of sulphur per 100 parts of rubber. In these cases either the so-called high-styrene resins or phenolie rubber compounding resins are ineorporated into the formulation. These compounds are processed using the methods of rubber technology but, like those of ebonite, the produets are more akin to plastics than to rubbers. Examples of the usage of these materials are to be found in battery boxes, shoe heels and ear washer brushes.

CNSL is obtained as a by-product of the cashew nut industry, mainly containing anacardic acid 80.9%, cardol 10-15%, cardanol, and 2-methyl cardol (Fig. 10). CNSL occurs as a brown viscous fluid in the shell of cashewnut, a plantation product obtained from the cashew tree, Anacardium oxidentale (Bhunia, et al., 2000). CNSL is used in the manufacture of industrially important materials such as cement, primers, specialty coatings, p)aints, varnishes, adhesives, foundry core oils, automotive brake lining industry, laminating and rubber compounding resins, epoxy resins, and in the manufacture of anionic and non-ionic surface active agents. CNSL modified phenolic resins are suitable for many applications and perform improved corrosion and insulation resistance. 

During the past four decades phenolic resins have become of increased significance in rubber compounding. For example, the resin based on cashew nut shell liquid, which contains phenolic bodies such as anacardic acid (Figure 23.23), may, when blended with hexamine, be incorporated into nitrile rubber (butadiene-acrylonitrile rubber). 

Where resorcinol adhesives are not suitable, resins can be prepared from modified resorcinol [128], Characteristic of these types of resins arc those used for tyre cord adhesives, in which a pure resorcinol-formaldehyde resin is used, or alternatively, alkyl resorcinol or oil-soluble resins suitable for rubber compounding are obtained by prereaction of resorcinol with fatty acids in the presence of sulfuric acid at high temperature followed by reaction with formaldehyde. Worldwide more than 90% of resorcinol adhesives are used as cold-setting wood adhesives. The other most notable application is as tyre cord adhesives, which constitutes less than 5% of the total use. 

Assist the widely dissimilar ingredients used in a rubber compound to coalesce and mix into a homogeneous uniform processable mass. Homogenisers are low-MW polymeric resin blends. The homogenising resin blend contains portions that are compatible with aliphatic, naphthenic and aromatic parts of the elastomers in a blend and higher-MW homologues of the plasticisers. They have a wetting effect. Fatty acid derivatives and phenolic resins are used. 

An isomeric derivative of natural rubber produced by a variety of chemical treatments. The products are resinous and find application as reinforcing agents in natural rubber compounds (particularly in shoe soles) and as rubber-to-metal adhesives. 

Thermosetting resin produced by the reaction of phenol and formaldehyde in the presence of either an acid or an alkaline catalyst. In rubber compounding these resins are used as plasticisers and reinforcing materials. Phenyl-a-Naphthylamine... 

Resins from natural sources, and a number derived from a petroleum base, have been used for many years. These are normally added to the rubber compound in small dosages to confer some processing or property advantage. 

The solubility of any resin in the rubber system is an important factor in determining the effect upon the properties of the rubber compound. Much depends upon the polarity of both the resin and... 

Many types, such as pine tar, are distillates from pine tree farming in Scandinavia. Pine tar is a dark viscous liquid used at about 3-7 phr dosage level. It does not affect hardness levels to the same extent as the equal amount of petroleum oil. From the nature of its sources it can vary in acidity and thus has tended to be replaced by cheaper more predictable alternatives which are available from the residues of petroleum distillation. Tack improvement of rubber compounds is derived from the presence of colophony resin derivatives.

Propene is used as a starting material for numerous other compounds. Chief among these are isopropyl alcohol, acrylonitrile, and propylene oxide. Isopropyl alcohol results from the hydration of propylene during cracking and is the primary chemical derived from propylene. Isopropyl alcohol is used as a solvent, antifreeze, and as rubbing alcohol, but its major use is for the production of acetone. Acrylonitrile is used primarily as a monomer in the production of acrylic fibers. Polymerized acrylonitrile fibers are produced under the trade names such as Orion (DuPont) and Acrilan (Monsanto). Acrylonitrile is also a reactant in the synthesis of dyes, pharmaceuticals, synthetic rubber, and resins. Acrylonitrile production occurs primarily through ammoxidation of propylene CH3- CH = CH2 + NH3 + 1.5 02—> CH2 = CH - C = N + 3 H20. 

Polymers. In combination with various metal salts, sorbitol is used as a stabilizer against beat and light in poly(vinyl chloride) (qv) resins and, with a phenolic antioxidant, as a stabilizer in uncured styrene—butadiene mbber (qv) compositions and in polyolefins (see He AT STABILIZERS Olefin polymers Rubber compounding). Heat-sealable films are prepared from a dispersion of sorbitol and starch in water (255). Incorporation of sorbitol in collagen films gready restricts their permeability to carbon dioxide (256). 

Uses. Coumarone-indene resins have outlets in paints, as tackifiers in rubber compounding, and as adhesives in the manufacturing of flooring tiles (see Hydrocarbon resins).

Under Behavior Towards Metals and Other Substances. AN very definitely attacks shellac, baked oils and natural rubber compounds if applied as a coating. The only materials that we know of which can be used as coatings for AN and AN solutions are certain polyvinyl chloride coatings and a number of epoxy resins. The Ordnance Department used acid-proof black paint, shellac, baked oil and rubber paints. All were quite unsuccessful over long periods of time... 

Stephens et al.70-72 examined the commercial potential of SX-reinforced rubber. SX reinforced styrene-butadiene and nitrile-butadiene rubber compounds, but displayed no reinforcement of natural rubber. The addition of resorcinol-formaldehyde resin at 8% of the starch weight significantly improved the mechanical properties for all three rubber compounds. The preparation of starch xanthide-rubber compounds by crosslinking the SX with sodium nitrite produced results similar to those obtained by adding resorcinol-formaldehyde resin. 

Use Intermediate, rubber compounding, cosmetic ingredients, buffing compounds, alkyd resins, emulsifiers, grease manufacture, and candles.
