  • Patent number: 9129726
    Abstract: Provided are a rubber composition for a tire which achieves a balanced improvement in tensile properties at break and fuel economy while providing excellent conductivity; and a pneumatic tire including the rubber composition. The present invention relates to a rubber composition for a tire, including: a rubber component; a carbon black having a nitrogen adsorption specific surface area of 20 to 110 m2/g and a DBP oil absorption of 60 to 130 ml/100 g; and a conductive carbon black having a nitrogen adsorption specific surface area of 900 m2/g or larger, a DBP oil absorption of 300 ml/100 g or more, and a volatile content of 0.8% by mass or more, the rubber composition containing 0.1 to 3 parts by mass of the conductive carbon black per 100 parts by mass of the rubber component.

  • Publication number: 20150210118
    Abstract: Provided are rubber composition for a fiber ply cord topping, a fiber ply cord topping rubber, a pneumatic tire formed therefrom, and a method for manufacturing the rubber composition for a fiber ply cord topping, which make it possible to provide good conductivity to even fuel efficient and lightweight pneumatic tires. The rubber composition for a fiber ply cord topping includes a rubber component including an isoprene-based rubber and styrene butadiene rubber, and a conductive carbon black having a dibutyl phthalate oil absorption of 300 ml/100 g or more, wherein an amount of the isoprene-based rubber is 20 to 80% by mass and an amount of the styrene butadiene rubber is 20 to 60% by mass, each based on 100% by mass of the rubber component, and an amount of the conductive carbon black is 1 to 10 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the rubber component.
