Abstract
A rubber compound production method including a first mixing step wherein at least one cross-linkable unsaturated-chain polymer base, silica, and a silane bonding agent in the alkoxymercaptoalkyl-silane class are mixed together; and a following mixing step wherein a curing system having at least sulphur and accelerants is added and mixed to the compound being produced. 0.2 to 5 phr of an accelerant, and 0.5 to 6 phr of a zinc salt of a fatty acid with a carbon atom number of C8 to C24 are added at the first mixing step. The accelerant is from the group of benzothiazyl-cyclohexyl-sulphenamide (CBS), benzothiazole disulphide (MBTS), N-tert-butyl-2-benzothiazylsulphenamide (TBBS), 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT), zinc salts of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (ZMBT), benzothiazyl-2-dicyclohexyl-sulphenamide (DCBS), diphenylguanidine (DPG), triphenylguanidine (TPG), diorthotolyl guanidine (DOTG), o-tolylbiguanidine (OTBG), ethylene thiourea (ETU) and their mixtures.
