Compositions of isoprene and halogenated EPDM rubbers.


Natural (NR) and synthetic isoprene isoprene or 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene (ī`səprēn, by'tədī`ēn), colorless liquid organic compound.  rubbers (JR) possess a complex of well-known valuable properties but have some deficiencies, such as low ozone and corrosion resistance, low resistance to heat aging and low adhesion adhesion /ad·he·sion/ (ad-he´zhun)

As we showed earlier (refs. 1-5) this could considerably alter common energy of the system and activate double bond. This can also bring to formation new active unsaturation in the third comonomer as well as, with halogen in a position, to the double bond, which stipulates a considerable rise in the rate of vulcanization of EPDM (refs. 1-5).

We also showed that dehydrohalogenation of different halogen-containing structures in the third comonomer of halo-EPDM during the process of vulcanization, in the presence of dehydrohalogenated agents that are always present in rubber compositions (for example, ZnO), brings to formation new additional double bonds in situ In place.

Experiments and results

The following elastomers were used in our research: CIS-1.4-polysioprene-SKI-3 (plasticity 0.50 un, ML-100 [degrees] C-4'-38), EPDM-SKEPT-60D (1.98% DCPD DCPD Dicyclopentadiene

Production of chlorinated EPDM on an industrial scale has been realized in commercial batch reactors The Batch reactor is the generic term for a type of vessel widely used in the process industries. Its name is something of a misnomer since vessels of this type are used for a variety of process operations such as solids dissolution, product mixing, chemical reactions, batch  of 3,000 lifers capacity in 3% solution of [CCl.sub.4] with a simultaneous load of EPDM 130-140 kg.

The highest adhesion strength to brassed steel is observed in mixtures with ClSKEP-16 and ClSKEP-22.

Mixtures with ClSKEPT-E possess more bonding strength to the wire than those with ClSKEPT-D containing the same chlorine content.

Increase of the adhesive adhesive, substance capable of sticking to surfaces of other substances and bonding them to one another. The term adhesive cement is sometimes used in place of adhesive, especially when referring to a synthetic adhesive.  strength of bonding of combined mixtures to brassed steel is an important property of such compositions.

Higher properties of combined systems with ClSKEPT-E (compared to ClSKEPT-D) allow us to suggest a higher degree of their covulcanization.

Taking into consideration the revealed difference between combined systems with SKEPT-D and SKEPT-E it was necessary to further investigate the reason of lower covulcanization of ClSKEPT-D with SKI-3.

Both systems demonstrate the same beginning time of vulcanization. Compared to ClSKEPT-D, it is, however, two times less for the original ClSKEPT-E.

The time of reaching 90% degree of vulcanization [t'.sub.C(90)] increases proportionately to the percentage of chlorinated EPDM, although for systems with ClSKEPT-D it is higher since the vulcanization process is slower compared to systems with ClSKEPT-E. The increase of percentage of ClEPDM in systems with ClSKEPT-E results in a reduced rate of vulcanization from 26% (for SKI-3) down to 6.2% per minute. The rate of vulcanization in these systems depends on the percentage of ClEPDM and is subject to the law of additivity.

These data demonstrate that the rate of vulcanization of ClSKEPT-E is 3.1 times higher than that of ClSKEPT-D and four times lower than that of SKI-3, whereas the rate of vulcanization of C1SKEPT-D is 13 times lower than that of SKI-3.

To better comprehend the influence of the type of the third comonomer on the properties of ClEPDM vulcanizates and its compositions with SKI-3 we studied the structure parameters of combined systems with ClSKEPT-D and ClSKEPT-E.

These parameters were determined from the data of conditional-equilibrium modules [E.sub.[infinity infinity, in mathematics, that which is not finite. A sequence of numbers, a1, a2, a3, … , is said to "approach infinity" if the numbers eventually become arbitrarily large, i.e. ]] that were obtained through testing vulcanizates of combined systems using relaxometer of axis compression.

We can see that [E.sub.[infinity]] decreases (density of net decreases) with the increase of the portion of SKEPT-D and ClSKEPT-D, while, accordingly, density of knots of space net of covulcanizates decreases and molecular mass of polymers between knots of the net increases.

For systems with SKEPT-E and ClSKEPT-E thickness of the net and density of the knots of space net is higher.

For example, SKI-3: ClEPDM proportion of 60:40 (maximum ozone resistance of covulcanizates) for SKEPT-D, ClSKEPT-D, SKEPT-E and ClSKEPT-E results in the following density of knots of space net (v), respectively: 4.9 [multiplied mul·ti·ply 1

 by] [10.sup.-5] 6.0 [multiplied by] [10.sup.-5], 5.9 [multiplied by] [10.sup.-5] and 7.4 [multiplied by] [10.sup.-5].

The analysis of all the above mentioned results showed that the rate of vulcanization of SKEPT-D is the lowest, the one for ClSKEPT-D is approximately at the level of original SKEPT-E, and the rate of vulcanization for ClSKEPT-E is the highest. This can provide explanation for much higher properties of combined systems of SKI-3 with ClSKEPT-E.

These data were confirmed in our research of the structure of vulcanizing net on conditional-equilibrium modules at stretching of unfilled covulcanizates SKI-3: ClEPDM on changing coefficient coefficient /co·ef·fi·cient/ (ko?ah-fish´int)

Our previous experiments showed that a careful selection of optimal vulcanizing systems is necessary for the production of covulcanizates SKI-3 with ClSKEPT-E with optimal dynamic and physico-mechanical properties.

We performed a comparative study of systems, mass parts: 1. (Standard) - Altax (0.6) + DPG DPG

The sulfonamides, or sulfa drugs, are derivatives of sulfanilamide, competitively inhibit folic acid synthesis in microorganisms, and formerly were  C (1.0) + S (2.0).

Figure 3 shows that the most active system 3 produces a successful increase in dynamic durability of covulcanizates SKI-3: ClSKEPT-E up to the level of SKI-3 for all ratios of combined rubbers.

[Figure 3 ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]

Such an effect could not be obtained with original SKEPT-E (figure 3).

 of combined covulcanizates with system 3 is also the highest and exceeds the values for covulcanizates with standard vulcanizing system, and moreover it is practically equal to those for original SKI-3 for all ratios of combined rubbers. It should be noted that resistance of covulcanizates to heat aging increased considerably with the increase of ClSKEPT-E percentage in covulcanizates.

After the problem of reaching high physico-mechanical and dynamic properties of covulcanizates was solved, it became necessary to determine the type of chlorinated EP elastomers and the degree of their chlorination chlorination Public health Addition of chlorinated compounds to drinking water as disinfectants. Cf Ozonation. , in order to obtain covulcanizates with maximum ozone and corrosion resistance.

With this aim in mind we studied ozone resistance of covulcanizates SKI-3 with different ClEPDM and ClEPR (see table 1).

Figure 4 shows that ClSKEPT-E16 and ClSKEP-40 (16 and 22% C1) in all ratios with SKI-3 do not increase ozone resistance of covulcanizates. This is explainable because during the process of vulcanization these highly chlorinated polymers are subject to effective dehydrochlorination (for example, by ZnO that is always present in rubber mixes) resulting in unsaturation in the chain of polymers that is easily destroyed by ozone attack.

[Figure 4 ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]

It also follows from these data that the optimal EPDM for maximum improvement of ozone resistance of covulcanizates is, in this case, also ClSKEPT-E (with 1.65% C1 in the third comonomer) at ratio: SKI-3: ClSKEPT-E = 70:30.

Such protective action for ClSKEPT-D (1.68% C1) is achieved only at ratio 60:40, while ClSKEPT-E (4% C1) provides such ozone resistance only at ratio SKI-3: ClSKEPT-E = 40:60.

Table 5 shows comparative properties of rubber mixtures on the basis of 100% SKI-3 and ozone resistant composition SKI-3: ClSKEPT-E (70:30).

According to these data, covulcanizates SKI-3 with ClSKEPT-E (70:30), while possessing nearly all properties of SKI-3, possess considerably improved ozone resistance (practically at the level of original EPDM) and also considerably improved resistance to heat aging.

The achieved data allows us to consider that the use of ClSKEPT-E in compositions based on IR (and other rubbers) as a single protective substance will be a new prospective stage in the development of recipe-building in rubber technology. This will also help to solve the problem of creating ozone- and corrosion-resistant vulcanizates of new types and considerably decrease and in some cases fully exclude the use of antiozonants and antioxidants Antioxidants

Another direction in the use of ClEPDM in compositions with IR (and other rubbers) is the production of corrosion-and thermo-resistant vulcanizates.

On the basis of this research we have developed a new corrosion- and thermo-resistant material BS-47. Its performance in highly aggressive media 10-200 times exceeds the performance of the best Russian and foreign analogues - rubbers and plastics.

Conclusion

Chlorinated EPDM containing 1.5-2.0% C1 in 5-ethylydene-2-norbornene possesses a high rate of vulcanization, which permits to solve the problem of compatibility of isoprene rubbers with low unsaturated EPDM.

Combined systems possess high cohesive strength, improved adhesion properties and dynamic and physicomechanical properties at the level of IR.

The most important achievement obtained through compatibility of IR and C1EPDM is a considerable improvement of resistance of covulcanizates to heat aging and achieving the level of ozone resistance of covulcanizates comparable to the level of original EPDM.

Maximum ozone resistance and optimal mechanical and dynamic properties were obtained for ratio IR (SKI-3): ClEPDM
