A production process for a viscosity-stabilizer-containing natural rubber comprising a step of adding a viscosity stabilizer liquid diluted with a solvent to a natural rubber, and a viscosity-stabilizer-containing natural rubber latex to which added is a viscosity stabilizer dissolved in an aliphatic chain compound, and a viscosity-stabilizer-containing natural rubber obtained by adding a viscosity stabilizer liquid diluted with a solvent to a natural rubber after it was coagulated.

Viscosity-stabilizer-containing natural rubber latex and natural rubber and a production process thereof

High aromatic oil and rubber composition and oil extended synthetic

In a flame-retardant rubber tire comprising an outer rubber body portion consisting essentially of a tread rubber layer, a sidewall rubber layer extending inward from each side edge of the tread rubber layer toward the vicinity of a bead portion in radial direction and a rubber chafer layer arranged in the vicinity of the bead portion, a flame-retardant rubber composition having an oxygen index of not less than 19.8 but not more than 27.5 is disposed so as to amount at least 20% by weight of the tread rubber layer. Such rubber tires are used in electric vehicles, automobiles, airplanes and the like and have excellent self-extinguishing property and flame-delaying property without damaging other rubber properties.

Flame-retardant rubber tires

A flame-retardant rubber composition has an oxygen index of 19.8-27.5 and comprises not more than 24% by weight of red phosphorus as a flame retardant based on the rubber composition and a nitrile group-containing elastomer as a flame-retardant polymer component as a part of rubber ingredients constituting the rubber composition. Such flame-retardant rubber compositions are very useful in applications such as industrial goods, tire and the like strongly requiring the fire preventing function.

Flame-retardant rubber compositions

A method of molding and vulcanizing more than 40 rubber products successively by using a curing bladder, which has been treated at the surface thereof with a silicone composition including:

Process for curing tire employing a bladder lubricant

A curing bladder containing (A) organic rubber which is surface treated with a curable silicon composition containing (B) polyorganosiloxane, which comprises at least two monovalent substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon groups having five or more carbon atoms and a C.dbd.C double bond connected to the silicon atom through at least one carbon atom, and having a degree of polymerization greater than 20.

Process for molding and vulcanizing rubber products

Rubber compounds comprising a specific type of polyorganosiloxane of the following formula ##STR1## in which R and R' independently represent a hydrocarbon substituent and n is an integer of not smaller than 3 provided that at least 6 mole % of the substituents R and R' consists of a hydrocarbon group having Small's molecular attraction constant not smaller than 350. Carbon black is added to the polyorganosiloxane whereby various physical properties are improved including breaking strength, water and hot water resistances. The rubber compound may further comprise at least one organic rubber other than the above polyorganosiloxane.

Rubber compounds

An improved process for molding and vulcanizing rubber products using a curing bladder, characterized in that the bladder is one which is made of a rubber compound containing (A) organic rubber and (B) polyorganosiloxane, the ratio of (A)/(B) being 95/5 to 5/95, or the bladder is one which is produced by surface treating (A) organic rubber with a silicone composition containing (A) organic rubber and (B) polyorganosiloxane, said polyorganosiloxane comprising at least two monovalent substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon groups having five or more carbon atoms and a C.dbd.C double bond connected to the silicon atom through at least one carbon atom, and having a degree of polymerization greater than 20.
