There are four common applications of butyl reclaimed rubber

The butyl reclaimed rubber regenerated by desulfurization of waste butyl inner tubes has excellent air tightness, water tightness, aging resistance and chemical corrosion resistance, and can be used alone or in combination with butyl rubber, EPDM rubber, EPDM reclaimed rubber, etc. to produce common butyl rubber products in the tire industry, effectively reducing the cost of raw materials under the premise of ensuring product quality. The application of butyl reclaimed rubber in rubber products in the tire industry can be divided into the following four categories.

Butyl rubber is mainly used in the tire industry to make tire inner tubes and water tires.

1. Butyl reclaimed rubber is widely used in the production of vehicle inner tubes

Butyl reclaimed rubber retains the basic performance characteristics of butyl rubber, and can be used alone or in combination with butyl rubber to prepare various tire tubes, including engineering vehicle tubes, truck tubes, car tubes, motorcycle tubes, bicycle tubes, etc., with good air tightness, heat resistance, flexure resistance, and aging resistance; A small amount of EPDM rubber can further improve the dynamic performance of the inner tube and prolong the service life.

2. Application of butyl reclaimed rubber in vulcanized capsules and water tires

Vulcanized bladder and water tire are commonly used vulcanization molds in the process of tire manufacturing, which have particularly high requirements for rubber air tightness, heat resistance and flexural resistance, and butyl rubber is an ideal raw material. Vulcanization capsules E4LYY319 used to maintain the shape of the tire when it is cured. Water tires apply pressure to the tires during the vulcanization process, providing an even pressure distribution that helps produce tires with consistent shape and quality. The combination of butyl rubber and an appropriate amount of butyl reclaimed rubber to produce vulcanized capsules and water tires can effectively reduce the cost of raw materials.

When butyl reclaimed rubber/butyl reclaimed rubber is used together to produce vulcanized capsules and water tires, the dispersion of compounding agents such as carbon black, zinc oxide and vulcanizing agent in the formula directly affects the quality of the finished product.

3. Application of butyl reclaimed rubber in the airtightness of tubeless tires

Butyl reclaimed rubber has good heat resistance and can maintain stable air tightness in high temperature environments. When using butyl rubber and chlorinated butyl rubber to produce tubeless tire innerliners, an appropriate amount of butyl reclaimed rubber can not only reduce the cost of raw materials, but also improve the process performance of the rubber compound, especially the mixing and vulcanization processes, and improve the performance and durability of the finished product; A small amount of air blocker is added to further improve the air permeability of the inner liner of the tire.

4. Application of butyl reclaimed rubber in tire tread and sidewall rubber

(1) Tread rubber: Tire tread rubber needs to have excellent wear resistance, impact resistance, puncture resistance, wet slip resistance, good handling stability and low heat generation, and is generally processed from natural rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber and butadiene rubber. Butyl reclaimed rubber can be used in combination with natural rubber, butadiene rubber, etc. in an appropriate proportion to produce tire tread rubber, so as to improve the thermal and oxidative aging resistance and fatigue resistance of the tread rubber, and prolong the service life of tire tread rubber.

(2) Sidewall rubber: The main function of tire sidewall rubber is to protect the cord layer from mechanical damage and moisture erosion, and at the same time, it needs to withstand large twisting and deformation during tire driving. Butyl reclaimed rubber can be used together with natural rubber and butadiene rubber to produce black sidewall of bias tires, which can improve the comprehensive index and performance of sidewall rubber and reduce the cost of raw rubber. In the tire sidewall rubber formulation, the amount of butyl reclaimed rubber is generally controlled below 20 parts.

In actual production, butyl reclaimed rubber can also be used in the production of special tires such as sponge tires, and the follow-up editor will continue to share with you the vulcanization formula of different rubber products such as butyl reclaimed rubber for the production of tire inner tubes, inner liners, tread rubber, sidewall rubber, vulcanized capsules, water tires, etc.
