Abstract: Fine-particle, filled rubber powders prepared by precipitation from aqueous mixtures of a filler suspension and a rubber-latex emulsion in the absence of water-soluble salts of metals of groups IIa, IIb, IIIa, or VIII of the Periodic Table of the Elements and in the absence of alkali metal silicate are used for vulcanizable rubber mixtures.

Abstract: Finely divided powdered rubbers containing filler which remain free-flowing even after exposure to mechanical stresses and to a process for the production thereof, in which the rubber powder is obtained in two precipitation steps, and to the use of these powders for the production of vulcanizable rubber compounds. The fillers used, which are both precipitated silicas and carbon blacks known in the rubber art, are surface-modifed by organosilicon compounds.

Abstract: Diperoxyalkanedioic acids and aromatic peroxycarboxylic acids are prepared by reacting a dialkanoic acid or an aromatic carboxylic acid with hydrogen peroxide in sulfuric acid and then producing a desensitizing agent for the peracid in situ by adding alkali metal hydroxide, alkali metal aluminate or an alkaline earth metal hydroxide so that the filtrate is free of sulfuric acid. The resulting salt coats the peracid and the product is desensitized and stable in storage.
