Abstract
Abstract A composition comprising carbon black and two or more curable polymers selected from C 4-5 conjugated diolefin-containing synthetic polymers and natural rubber, is prepared by the separate steps (i) forming a mixture of at least 60% by weight of the carbon black with one or more C 4-5 conjugated diolefin-containing synthetic polymers in an amount of from 33 to 60% by weight of the total weight of the curable polymers, and (ii) adding the remainder of the curable polymers and any remaining carbon black to the mixture. Such a composition may be mixed with cure active agents, shaped and heated to produce a vulcanisate having very satisfactory properties.

Claim 2
Dependent Claim
90 words
A process for preparing a composition comprising carbon black and two or more curable polymers selected from C 4-5 conjugated diolefin-containing synthetic polymers and natural rubber, which comprises the steps of (i) forming a mixture of at least 60% by weight of the carbon black with one or more C 4-5 conjugated diolefin-containing synthetic polymers in an amount of from 33 to 60% by weight of the total weight of the curable polymers, and (ii) adding the remainder of the curable polymers and any remaining carbon black to the mixture.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein the mixture comprises from 40 to 60% by weight of the total weight of the curable polymers.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
43 words
A process according to claim 2, wherein the or each polymer in the mixture is selected from styrene-butadiene polymer, polyisoprene and polybutadiene and the remainder of the curable polymers is one or more polymers selected from styrene-butadiene polymer, polyisoprene, polybutadiene and natural rubber.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
30 words
A process according to claim 2 or claim 3, wherein the composition comprises from 30-to 80 parts by weight carbon black per 100 parts by weight of the curable polymers.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
40 words
A process according to claim 1 or claim 2, wherein the polymer in the mixture is one of styrene-butadiene polymer and polybutadiene, and the remainder of the curable polymers is one or two of styrene-butadiene polymer, polybutadiene and natural rubber.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim

Claim 12
Dependent Claim
15 words
A process according to any preceding claim, wherein the mixture is rested before the addition.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
16 words
A process according to any preceding claim, wherein the composition comprises one or more compounding ingredients.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
54 words
A process for producing a vulcanisate, which comprises mixing a composition prepared by a process according to any of claims 1 to 12 with a sulphur, sulphur-containing or peroxidic cure active agent; shaping the resultant mixture; and heating the shaped mixture at from 145 to 225 0 C for from 3 to 60 minutes.
