These have compositions Ca3O.SiO4, Ca2SiO4, Ca3Si2O7 and CaSiO3. , to form an easier-handling, dry-liquid concentrate. These liquid/powder blends typically range between 50-70% active. It has been well documented that silica silica or silicon dioxide, chemical compound, SiO2. It is insoluble in water, slightly soluble in alkalies, and soluble in dilute hydrofluoric acid.

 (refs. (1) and (2)). The high surface area of PPG's Hi-Sil 233 precipitated silica makes it an ideal carrier for Cytec's Cyrez 963 liquid resin. This product, called Cyrez 964 RPC (Remote Procedure Call) A programming interface that allows one program to use the services of another program in a remote machine. The calling program sends a message and data to the remote program, which is executed, and results are passed back to the calling , has been successfully used by the tire and rubber-product manufacturers. Recently, a new generation of silicas has been introduced that, in addition to enhancing rubber compound physical properties, has many additional advantages heretofore unobtainable in silicas. These advantages include higher liquid carrying capacity carrying capacity

This article focuses on CRA See Community Reinvestment Act. 100 RPC, a new product which uses Hi-Sil SC72 (ref. (3)) silica, as a carrier for Cyrez liquid resin. The results show that the new silica allows the compounder to achieve all of the compound physical properties previously obtained with Hi-Sil 233 silica, and also to achieve enhanced rubber physical properties over other common carriers of liquids such as the diatomaceous earth calcium silicate products. CRA100 RPC is a less dusty, highly flowable product that is easily dispersable and much more adaptable to bulk forms of packaging such as one-ton flexible intermediate bulk containers A Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container, FIBC , big bag, bulk bag, or super sack is a standardized container in large dimensions for storing and transporting and storing for example sand, fertilizers , granules of plastics or other dry products.  (FIBC FIBC Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container ).

History of resin use in wire coat compounds

Early work with organic wire adhesion promoters led to the development of the "HRH HRH

HEXA is often called a formaldehyde formaldehyde (fôrmăl`dəhīd'), HCHO, the simplest aldehyde. It melts at −92°C;, boils at −21°C;, and is soluble in water, alcohol, and ether; at STP, it is a flammable, poisonous, colorless gas with a suffocating  donor since it can react with water to form formaldehyde and ammonia ammonia, chemical compound, NH3, colorless gas that is about one half as dense as air at ordinary temperatures and pressures. It has a characteristic pungent, penetrating odor. . An evolution of this original HRH system has seen the HEXA component being replaced by hexamethoxymethylmelamine (HMMM HMMM Hexamethoxymethylmelamine ). HMMM has a distinct advantage in that methylene methylene /meth·y·lene/ (meth?i-len) the bivalent hydrocarbon radical —CH2— or CH2dbond.

Experimental results have shown that bonding systems containing HMMM provide superior, i.e. higher pull-out adhesion and rubber coverages under aging conditions including heat-aging, humidity-aging and steam-aging when compared to HEXA (ref. (7)). Today's modern tire adhesion bonding system typically contains HMMM, a resorcinol or a prereacted resorcinol-formaldehyde component, and a precipitated silica. The optimized system might contain the following proportions:

* HMMM - 3-6 phr;

* Resorcinol - 2-3 phr or R/F resin 3-4 phr;

* Silica - 10-15 phr

Cyrez/resorcinol systems function primarily because they are polar and migrate to the high-energy wire interface and form a resin-rich layer on the brass of the wire surface.

Results and discussion

Non-black fillers in tire wire coat compounds

Silica has been shown to improve the wire-to-rubber adhesion of compounds containing resorcinol/formaldehyde donor resins (refs. (4), (14), (15), (16), (17)). Tate (ref. (16)) found significant improvements in steam-aged and humidity-aged adhesion upon using silica in compounds containing an organocobalt adhesion promoter. Evans, Waddell and coworkers (ref. (17)) reported that the increases in interfacial adhesion due to silica use was not simply a result of increased tear strength of the rubber compound, but that silica use had an effect on the relative concentrations of the inorganic compounds Tentative listing related to this page, inorganic compounds by element (presently under construction), as well as .

Physical properties of HMMM carrier materials

The physical properties of the commonly used carriers for HMMM resin are shown in table 5. Precipitated silica and diatomaceous earth calcium silicate have high dust levels ([less than]200 mesh screen fractions) and high angle of repose (Physics) the inclination of a plane at which a body placed on the plane would remain at rest, or if in motion would roll or slide down with uniform velocity; the angle at which the various kinds of earth will stand when abandoned to themselves.

For example, the amorphous state of a spot on a rewritable optical disc means that the laser beam will not be reflected from it, which is in contrast to a crystalline state which will reflect light. See crystalline.  precipitated silicas contain no detectable [alpha]-quartz based on x-ray diffraction due to the lack of longrange structure in the [(-O-Si-O-).sub.n] units (ref. (20)).

One limitation of precipitated silica is that it has a maximum capacity for HMMM of 65% in order to maintain the flowability of this product. SC72 silica has less than 1% dust, a low angle of repose indicating good flowability, contains no detectable [alpha]-quartz and is capable of carrying 72% by-weight HMMM. Finely-divided materials often exhibit bridging behavior in gravity-flow systems. SC72 silica, in contrast, has excellent free-flow properties even with 72% by weight HMMM. Table 6 shows the physical properties of the resin powder concentrate materials. Of particular interest is the very low angle of repose (29[degrees]) for the CRA100 RPC when compared to the other two commercial powdered products, and the higher bulk density of the CRA100 (44.2 [lb/ft.sup.3]). The improved non-dusting and flowability for CRA100 RPC is due to the uniformly sized spherical spher·i·cal

Rubber properties of RPC forms of HMMM

Samples of RPC materials were compounded in the model wire-coat formulation shown in table 2. In order to maintain an equal loading of HMMM at 3 phr the following levels of concentrate were used: (1) 963 RPC, 4.2 phr, (2) 964 RPC, 4.6 phr and (3) CRA100, 4.2 phr. Rubber cure and physical properties and wire-adhesion performance are shown in table 7. Compounds #5 and #6, which contained the HMMM on silica, showed significantly higher tear strength and adhesion pull-out force than did compound #4, which contained diatomaceous earth calcium silicate. Table 8 is a summary of the rubber property comparisons at the 95% confidence level for: (1) replacing 15 phr of N326 carbon black with 15 phr of Hi-Sil 243LD silica, (2) using 4.2 phr of 963 RPC in place of 3.0 phr of liquid 963, (3) using 4.6 phr of 964 RPC in place of 3.0 phr of Cyrez 963, and (4) using 4.2 phr of CRA100 RPC in place of 3.0 phr of liquid 963. In all cases use of a minus sign indicates that the value of the rubber property is detrimental, a zero indicates no statistical difference and a plus sign indicates the test value for the property is beneficial. The use of silica in place of carbon black benefited the scorch safety, tear strength, cut-growth resistance and adhesion of the wire composite with detrimental effects on cure time and compound modulus and hardness. The use of 963 RPC increased cure time and reduced rebound values for the rubber composite. The use of 964 RPC increases cure time and scorch safety and as expected, provided increased tear strength and cut-growth resistance, and reduced rebound values for the rubber composite. The use of CRA100RPC increased cure time and reduced rebound values for the rubber composite. The benefits of using 964 and CRA100 may be attributed to the positive effects of using silica, even at the very low levels present in the wire coat compound, since they are also the most significant properties changed when silica is used as a replacement for carbon black.

Summary

The benefits of using SC72 silica as a high-capacity carrier for 72% HMMM resin over the current powdered carriers are shown. The 29[degrees] angle of repose of the CRA100 RPC containing HMMM on SC72, versus the 60[degrees] angles obtained for the current commercial materials, indicates significant advantages in the flowability for this new product. Coupled with the improved bulk density of this new product, this will provide packaging and handling advantages and the ability for use in bulk-handling and weighing systems. The dust levels of less than 1% will provide housekeeping A set of instructions that are executed at the beginning of a program. It sets all counters and flags to their starting values and generally readies the program for execution.  and environmental advantages. Along with the absence of potential [alpha]-quartz, these are important health considerations. Finally, the rubber compound physical properties, particularly tear strength and cut-growth resistance, of the wirecoat compound are enhanced by the use of precipitated silica in the compound formulation and the original and humid-aged wire adhesion performance of the wire composite are improved by the use of CRA1 00 RPC.
