Antistatic Tire Tread Made from Epoxidized Natural Rubber Based Compound

Article Preview

Abstract:

A vulcanized epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) based electrically conductive compound was successfully prepared by using the combination of internal mechanical mixing and open milling devices. This compound was developed based on a formula with at least 73.0 wt % of petro-chemical free ingredients. The vulcanizate of this compound showed good physical properties, high electrical conductivities and also complied with Malaysia Standard 1097 [. As a result, this newly formulated compound can be targeted for making antistatic tire tread of commercial vehicles.
