Effect of Urethane Based Bonding Agent on the Cure Characteristics and Mechanical Properties of Styrene Butadiene Rubber – Whole Tyre Reclaim

Abstract

The cure characteristics and mechanical properties of short nylon fiber – styrene butadiene rubber/whole tyre reclaim (SBR/WTR) composites with and without an interfacial bonding agent based on 4,4 diphenyl methane diisocyanate and polyethylene glycol (MDI/PEG) have been studied. An 80:40 blend of SBR/WTR reinforced with 20 phr of short nylon fiber has been selected and the MDI/PEG ratio has been changed from 0.67:1 to 2:1. The minimum and maximum torques increased with isocyanate concentration. The scorch time and cure time showed an initial reduction. The cure rate showed an initial improvement. Tensile strength, tear strength and abrasion resistance increased with MDI/PEG ratio, these values were higher in longitudinal direction. Resilience and compression set increased with isocyanate concentration.
