The present invention relates to a rubber composition containing silica reinforcement and pneumatic tires having treads comprised of such rubber composition. The rubber composition comprises an elastomer, silica, optionally carbon black, and a silica coupler comprised of an N,N'-diorgano-N,N'-dithiobis (organosulfonamide).

Silica reinforced rubber composition and use in tires

This invention relates to bis-(2,5-polythio-1,3,4-thiadiazoles), a method for their preparation and their use in rubber compounds. Use of these compounds provide for excellent vulcanization of rubbers and result in an improved final rubber vulcanizate possessing good physical properties.

Bis-(2,5-polythio-1,3,4-thiadiazoles), rubbers containing such

The present invention relates to a composition which exhibits antiozonant activity in diene containing rubbers comprising the reaction product of a multi-step process comprising:

High molecular weight amine containing antiozonants

This invention relates to bis-(2,5-polythio-1,3,4-thiadiaxoles), a method for their preparation and their use in rubber compounds. Use of these compounds provide for excellent vulcanization of rubbers and result in an improved final rubber vulcanizate possessing good physical properties.

There is disclosed a method for making compounds such as 3,6,9-trioxaundecane-1,11-bis (3-n-dodecylthiopropionate) which comprises reacting an alkyl thiopropionate with a glycol at temperatures between 50.degree. C. and 180.degree. C. in the presence of a catalytic amount of a dialkyl tin oxide.

Method for the esterification of thiopropionates

The present invention relates to thioesters having the structural formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.x is selected from the group of formulae consisting of: ##STR2## R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are independently selected from the group of radicals consisting of hydrogen or methyl; R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are independently selected from the group of radicals consisting of hydrogen, alkyls having 1 to 18 carbon atoms, aryls having 6 to 10 carbon atoms, aralkyls having 7 to 9 carbon atoms, and radicals of the formula: ##STR3## and R.sup.6 is selected from the group of radials consisting of alkyls having 1 to 24 carbon atoms, aryls having 6 to 12 carbon atoms and aralkyls having 7 to 12 carbon atoms. These thioesters are particularly useful as a synergist for conventional phenolic and amine antioxidants.

Thioesters and antioxidant compositions containing the same

There is disclosed compounds having, within their structural formulae, a trivalent moiety: ##STR1## which exhibit antiozonant activity when added to rubber compositions at antiozonant effective levels and which exhibit synergistic antiozonant activity when used with conventional antiozonants in rubber compositions. There is also disclosed novel compounds which can be used as antiozonants.

Non-staining and slightly-staining antiozonants

This invention relates to the use of compounds such as 3,5-dibutyl-1,3,5-oxadiazine-4-thione and tetrahydro-5-(2-butyl)-(S)-triazinethione as stabilizers to improve the dye fastness of colored fibers.

Stabilizers for improving the ozone fastness of dyes with

This invention is concerned with compounds of the structural formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 may be the same or different radical selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and methyl radicals; when R.sup.1 is a hydrogen radical, R is an alkyl radical of 5 to 11 carbon atoms; when R.sup.1 is a methyl radical, R is a radical of 4 to 10 carbon atoms; when R.sup.2 is a hydrogen radical, R.sup.3 is an alkyl radical of 5 to 11 carbon atoms; when R.sup.2 is a methyl radical, R.sup.3 is an alkyl radical of 4 to 10 carbon atoms. These compounds have utility as synergists for phenolic type and amine type antioxidants in the stabilization of natural and synthetic rubbers.

Methylene bis(alkylsulfides) as antioxidant synergists in rubber

This invention is concerned with the stabilization of oxidizable organic materials such as rubbers, oils, plastics and the like through the addition of an autosynergistic phenolic antioxidant reaction product to the oxidizable organic material. More specifically, this invention is directed to a definitive process for the preparation of an alkylated phenol/formaldehyde/mercaptan reaction product comprising the simultaneous acid catalyzed reaction of specific reactants at specific molar ratios under azeotroping conditions and the use of the reaction product in oxidizable organic materials.

Autosynergistic phenolic antioxidant reaction product

There is disclosed a process for the preparation of N,N'-tetrathiodimorpholine wherein an admixture of morpholine and elemental sulfur is oxidized with air or oxygen in the presence of iron salts or iron complexes in combination with zinc compounds such as ZnCl.sub.2 and ZnO to yield N,N'-tetrathiodimorpholine.
