Application of Isomeric Polybutadiene Elastomer AT400 in Shoulder Pad Compound of All-steel Radial Tire
The application of isomeric polybutadiene elastomer AT400(referred to as AT400)in the shoulder pad compound of all-steel radial tires was studied.The results showed that by partially replacing natural rubber with AT400 and reducing the amount of carbon black N330 in the shoulder pad compound,the vulcanization characteristics of the compound and the physical properties of the vulcanizate were less affected,the heat build-up of the compound decreased,and the durability of the finished tire was improved.
