Patent number: 8846816Abstract: The invention relates to a process and an apparatus for the preparation of a crosslinkable rubber mixture for vehicle tires, lines, drive belts and other industrial rubber articles, which can be carried out at least semicontinuously. The present invention is based on the discovery that the experiments known from the prior art to carry out the batchwise process usually used at least partly continuously have failed in particular because of the problem that the crosslinking agents have to be mixed rapidly and homogeneously with the base mixture, also referred to as rubber base mixture, without the mixture consisting of the base mixture and the crosslinking agents heating up too strongly. According to the invention, attention was therefore focussed on reliably mixing the base mixture homogeneously with the crosslinking agents and minimizing the mixing time. A first measure for achieving the desired aim consists in first mixing the crosslinking agents with one another before they are mixed with the base mixture.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2009Date of Patent: September 30, 2014Assignee: Rhein Chemie Rheinau GmbHInventors: Anno Borkowsky, Andreas Schröder, Hans-Martin Issel, Florian Fischer, Reinhard Uphus

Patent number: 6593432Abstract: A sulfur vulcanizing system rubber composition comprises EPDM, zinc as a vulcanization accelerator activator, at least one thiazole type vulcanization accelerator serving to control the dissolution of zinc from the composition, and at least one ultra-accelerator of the thiuram or dithiocarbamate type, these accelerators being preferably combined under specified quantitative limitations. The hose using this rubber composition is particularly suitable for use in a cooling system for an automobile engine, since the dissolution of zinc into a coolant is prevented, thereby preventing the formation of any zinc compound causing the blocking of the hose, or the leakage of the coolant through the seal between the hose and any pipe connected therewith.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2000Date of Patent: July 15, 2003Assignee: Tokai Rubber Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Ayumu Ikemoto, Eiichi Daikai, Koji Senda
