Abstract: An aqueous outside release agent for the production of tires and other rubber articles is described, which contains 5 to 35% by wt. diatomaceous earth, 0.5 to 6% by wt. pyrogenic hydrophobic silica, 0.1 to 2% by wt. nonionic surfactant, 0.2 to 3% by wt. of a binder, 0.1 to 3% by wt. dye, 0 to 5% by wt. ethyl alcohol and the remainder water. Preferred binders are styrene-maleic acid or styrene-maleic anhydride copolymers and in particular ammonium salts thereof. Said outside release agent is used in processes for molding and vulcanizing tires and other rubber articles, it being sprayed onto the blank with the aid of air-atomizing guns before molding and vulcanization are carried out. A very good release effect is thereby achieved without vulcanization being impaired. As only very small quantities of outside release agent are needed, cleaning of the press mold and hence interruption of the production process are required very much less frequently than when conventional outside release agents are used.

Abstract: An environment-friendly aqueous slip and mold-release agent for the manufacture of tires and other rubber articles and a process for the molding and vulcanization of tires and other rubber articles are described. The aqueous slip and mold-release agent contains 0.5 to 6 wt. % polytetrafluoroethylene, 20 to 40 wt. % mineral fillers and at least 40 wt. % water. It is sprayed onto the inside of the tire blank prior to the molding and vulcanization, so that the water contained therein evaporates, accompanied by development of a slip and release agent film. Apart from the environment-friendliness and good release effect, the new slip and mold-release agent leads, despite the high water content, to a quick evaporation of the water and thus a rapid development, desired in industrial operations, of the slip and release agent film.

Abstract: An .alpha.-tocopherol preparation is disclosed which contains 40 to 80% by weight tocopherol, 10 to 40% by weight EPM rubber and 10 to 50% by weight neutral silicate filler or acrylate polymer. The composition is added during vulcanization of rubber to inhibit nitrosamine formation.

Abstract: A method for improving the corrosion inhibition of lubricating oils especially those of vegetable origin which comprises adding an efficient amount of the reaction product of an epoxidized fatty acid ester, especially an epoxidized methyl ester of an unsaturated fatty acid and a sulphonic acid and a process for producing these reaction products.
