Abstract
Abstract The mechanical properties of an unvulcanized rubber composition having, as the rubber material, maleinized polyisoprene rubber which contains zinc oxide as one of the compounding ingredients can be markedly increased by the addition of an oxide or a hydroxide of a metal belonging to Groups IA, IIA and IVB of the Periodic Table.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
120 words
AN UNVULCANIZED RUBBER COMPOSITION HAVING A HIGH GREEN STRENGTH AND BEING USEFUL FOR THE PREPARATION OF A VULCANIZATE, SAID COMPOSITION COMPRISING A MODIFIED CIS-1,4-POLYISOPRENE RUBBER HAVING A BOUND MALEIC ANHYDRIDE CONTENT OF FROM 0.03 TO 2.5 MOLES PER 100 RECURRING UNITS OF ISOPRENE NONOMER IN THE RUBBER POLYMER, AND RUBBER COMPOUNDING INGREDIENTS CONTAINING SULFUR AS A VULCANIZING AGENT FOR SAID RUBBER, 0.5 TO 3.0 PARTS BY WEIGHT BASED ON 100 PARTS BY WEIGHT OF SAID RUBBER, OF A HYDROXIDE OF A METAL BELONGING TO GROUP II A OF THE PERIODIC TABLE, 2 TO 8 PARTS BY WEIGHT OF ZINC OXIDE BASED ON 100 PARTS BY WEIGHT OF SAID RUBBER AND STEARIC ACID IN AN EFFECTIVE FOR THE CONTROL OF SCORCH.
