JP5922472B2 - Rubber composition for studless tire and studless tire - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to a rubber composition for a studless tire and a studless tire produced using the rubber composition.

In order to prevent dust pollution caused by spike tires, the prohibition of spike tires was legislated, and studless tires were used instead of spike tires in cold regions. Studless tires have been devised in terms of materials and design in order to deal with snow and snowy road surfaces that have larger road irregularities than general road surfaces.For example, diene rubber with excellent low-temperature characteristics is blended to provide a softening effect. A rubber composition having an increased amount of a softening agent has been proposed to increase the amount. Here, in general, mineral oil is often blended as a softening agent in order to enhance low temperature characteristics.

However, when the amount of mineral oil is increased for the purpose of improving the low temperature characteristics, the wear resistance generally tends to deteriorate. As a method for solving such a problem, a method of changing mineral oil to aroma oil can be considered, but this method tends to lower the low-temperature characteristics. Further, by using aroma oil and silica in combination, the low temperature characteristics can be improved without reducing the wear resistance, but the performance on ice and snow is still insufficient. Further, since studless tires need wet grip performance in addition to performance on snow and snow and wear resistance, a method for improving these performances in a well-balanced manner is required.

Patent Document 1 discloses a rubber composition for a tread whose performance on snow and snow is improved by blending natural rubber, butadiene rubber, silica, aroma oil, and the like. There is still room for improvement in terms of improving the wear resistance in a well-balanced manner.

A silane coupling agent containing a bond unit A represented by the formula (2) and a bond unit B represented by the formula (3) is processed as compared with a polysulfide silane such as bis- (3-triethoxysilylpropyl) tetrasulfide. Increase in viscosity is suppressed. This is presumably because the increase in Mooney viscosity is small because the sulfide portion of the bond unit A is a C—S—C bond and is thermally stable compared to tetrasulfide and disulfide.

Moreover, the shortening of the scorch time is suppressed as compared with mercaptosilane such as 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane. This is because the bonding unit B has a structure of mercaptosilane, but the —C ₇ H ₁₅ part of the bonding unit A covers the —SH group of the bonding unit B, so that it does not easily react with the polymer and scorch is not easily generated. This is probably because of this.
