What is tire rubber?

Tire rubber is used to make silicone for precision tire mold casting and manufacturing. The following is a detailed introduction to tire rubber:

1、 Alias and Basic Raw Materials

Nickname: Tire rubber, also known as tire silicone rubber or tire silicone rubber.

Basic raw materials: Tire rubber generally uses condensed room temperature vulcanized silicone as the basic raw material.

2、 Main components

The main components of tire rubber include natural rubber, synthetic rubber, and carbon black.

Natural rubber: It is a widely used universal rubber, such as a natural polymer compound mainly composed of cis-1,4-polyisoprene. 91%~94% of the composition is rubber hydrocarbons, and the rest is non rubber substances such as proteins and fatty acids.

Synthetic rubber: including butadiene rubber, styrene butadiene rubber, butyl rubber, etc. Butadiene rubber is polymerized from butadiene, with a cis structure content of over 95%. After vulcanization, it has excellent cold resistance, wear resistance, and elasticity, and is suitable for automotive tires, etc; The physical structure, processing performance, and product performance of styrene butadiene rubber are similar to natural rubber, with better wear resistance, heat resistance, and other properties. It is widely used in the production of tires and other products; Butyl rubber is synthesized from isobutene and a small amount of isoprene, and is commonly used in automotive tires and soundproofing products.

3、 Characteristics and Applications

Features: Tire rubber has good fluidity, low shrinkage rate, and good tensile strength.

Usage: In addition to being used in tire manufacturing, tire rubber can also be used to produce high-end shoe materials, drinking water pipes, indoor rubber sheets, as well as wire and cable sheaths, ball bladders, inner tubes, etc. with advantages such as environmentally friendly, odorless, elastic feel, and high strength. In addition, tire reclaimed rubber can also be used for rubber miscellaneous products such as casters, railway track pads, rubber hoses, tapes, etc., and can even be used as fuel.

In summary, tire rubber is a silicone material with various excellent properties and application fields. Plays an important role in tire manufacturing and other rubber products.
