  • 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.
    Type: Grant

  • Rubber compositions containing ground curing bladder rubber
    Patent number: 6730732
    Abstract: Rubber compositions such as tire innerliners contain significant amounts of ground, fine size tire curing bladder rubber as a filler. Critical properties such as air retention are not affected and spent or old curing bladder rubber which would otherwise go to a landfill is effectively recycled.
