Abstract
Filler, processing fluid and silicone polymer are controllably compounded into homogeneous filled heat cured rubber compositions with requisite reinforcing properties and levels of volatiles. In the process, a continuous feed of a silicone polymer to a compounding apparatus is monitored and a signal is generated in accordance with the monitored rate of feed. Rate of feed of filler and additives to the compounding apparatus are then adjusted in accordance with the signal.
