  • Large sized carbon black particles to reduce needed mixing energy of high hardness, stiff tire compositions
    Patent number: 7019065
    Abstract: A reinforced high viscosity rubber composition having improved processability such as reduced mixing cycles contains large sized particles of carbon black. The carbon black has low structure and a low DBP absorption number as well as a low iodine number. The rubber composition is useful in various tire rubber compositions such as those requiring a high viscosity, for example an apex rubber.

  • Rubber compositions containing ground tire rubber
    Patent number: 6265454
    Abstract: Old, spent or worn tires are recycled by removing non-rubber components such as belts, beads, and fabric, and grinding the remaining cured rubber into fine sized particles. The ground particles generally replace equivalent amounts of rubber and additives in various tire formulated components such as tire treads. Good physical properties of the end product are retained.
