  • Patent number: 6797780
    Abstract: The invention relates to rubber compounds based on rubber particles and phosphoryl polysulfides, as well as to vulcanizates or shaped articles prepared therefrom. The addition of phosphoryl polysulfides improves the strengthening effect of the rubber particles and the level of the mechanical properties, without lowering the resilience of the vulcanizates prepared therefrom.

  • Patent number: 6761832
    Abstract: This invention relates to a process for the production of dithiophosphoric acid poly-sulfide mixtures, which is characterized in that dithiophosphoric acid disulfides are reacted with sulfur at elevated temperatures. The dithiophosphoric acid polysulfide mixtures produced using the process according to the present invention are used as sulfur donors for the vulcanization of natural and synthetic rubbers and in the latex vulcanization of natural and synthetic rubber latex.
