What Are the Different Types of Molded Rubber Products?
Rubber products refer to the activities of producing various rubber products using natural and synthetic rubber as raw materials, and also include [1] rubber products reproduced from waste rubber. The output of synthetic rubber has greatly exceeded that of natural rubber, of which the largest output is styrene-butadiene rubber.
rubber products
- 1. During the molding of rubber products, after the large pressure is pressed, the cohesive force of the elastomer cannot be eliminated. When molding is released from the mold, it often produces extremely unstable shrinkage (the shrinkage rate of rubber varies with different rubber types) , It will take some time to be gentle and stable. Therefore, at the beginning of the design of a rubber product, it is necessary to calculate the fit carefully regardless of the formula or the mold. If not, the size of the product is likely to be unstable and the quality of the product will be lowered.
- 2. Rubber is a hot-melt and thermosetting elastomer, and plastic is a hot-melt and cold-set. Due to the different types of sulfide rubber, the temperature range of molding and curing of rubber is also quite different. It can even be affected by climate change and indoor temperature and humidity. Therefore, the production conditions of rubber products need to be appropriately adjusted at any time. If not, there may be differences in product quality.
- 3. Rubber products are made from rubber raw materials, which are made by mixing mixers with rubber mixers as raw materials. During rubber mixing, formulas are designed according to the characteristics of the required rubber products, and the required product hardness is determined. Product production and molding is carried out by rubber flat vulcanizing machine. After molding, the product is finally flashed to make the surface of the product smooth and without burrs.
- 4. Rubber products aging test belongs to the aging test category. Rubber aging refers to the phenomenon that during the processing, storage and use of rubber and products, the performance structure changes due to the combined effect of internal and external factors, and the use value is lost. It appears as cracking, stickiness, hardening, softening, chalking, discoloration, and mildew.
- In 2011, the European debt crisis continued to spread, the international market responded sensitively, and the domestic macroeconomic downturn. The rubber products industry, which is widely used in the national economy and played an important role, was inevitably affected. At the same time, the three major natural rubber exporting countries in the upstream have formed a strategic alliance to raise the price of rubber, which has led to a reduction in production and production due to increased production costs. The downstream automotive manufacturing industry is facing policy control risks, while the macro-control policies of the real estate industry have not Relax. Many factors have led to a slowdown in the development of the rubber products industry.
- Production and operation status of 10 key domestic and foreign tire companies in January 2013: tire output decreased by 0.53% month-on-month and increased by 32.22% year-on-year, of which radial tire output increased by 44.28% year-on-year; tire export delivery increased by 30.55% year-on-year; finished product inventory A year-on-year decrease of -7.46% was achieved.
- The January data is better than the same period last year, and the industry is picking up. In January of this year, China s tire output increased significantly year-on-year, exports significantly improved, and the value of finished goods for the first time showed a negative growth. Because the Spring Festival last year was in January, there were fewer effective working days, which resulted in a low base and a large increase. In recent months, the output of radial tires has basically maintained an increase of more than 10%, and the value of finished products has continued to decline, indicating that the demand for tires in our country has continued to improve, and it is just at that time.
- Sponge rubber is a porous elastomeric material, which is also commonly called foam rubber, foamed rubber or microcellular rubber. It is a general term for various rubbers with a perforated structure. ASTM D1055 and ASTM D1056 define and classify latex sponges and dry rubber sponges, respectively, and formulate the measurement methods of conventional physical properties. The standard defines that the perforations of such porous materials should be spread throughout the material. According to the structure of the perforations, it can be divided into closed cells (perforations and perforations are not connected with each other), and open cells (perforations and perforations are not perforated by each other. Completely separated, with a certain degree of conjointness) and mixed holes (both open and closed holes). According to this, microcellular rubber mainly includes two types of expanded rubber and sponge rubber. Due to different usage habits, the meaning of "sponge rubber" in domestic scientific and technological literature does not distinguish the open-cell and closed-cell mechanisms of the cells.
- There are many types of sponge rubber, and the classification methods are various:
- Compared with solid rubber, sponge rubber has many special and valuable properties due to its structural specificity, that is, its porosity, such as: , low apparent density, light weight and low cost; , rich in elasticity and softness It has excellent sealing effects such as dust resistance, waterproof gas, etc. It improves the heat insulation performance and has a lower thermal conductivity; It improves the ability to absorb shock loads and has excellent cushioning and damping performance; It improves sound insulation , Sound absorption effect; , improve touch, improve comfort; , a wide range of physical properties, changing the apparent density or cell structure can get the corresponding performance of sponge rubber. Therefore, sponge rubber products are widely used in many aspects such as sealing, shock absorption, heat insulation, sound insulation, printing and dyeing, and even ion exchange. They are widely used in aviation, automotive, instruments, meters, home appliances and packaging industries. Its shape includes plate, strip, tube, roller, washer, etc., with various specifications and different shapes. Different use conditions require different perforation structures and pore sizes. For this reason, it is required to make corresponding adjustments in the formula design and processing technology to achieve the corresponding performance.
- Linear structure: general structure of unvulcanized rubber. Due to its large molecular weight, it has a fine mass without external force. When an external force is applied and removed, the degree of entanglement of the small group changes, and the molecular chain rebounds, resulting in a strong tendency to recover. This is the origin of the high elasticity of rubber.
- Branched structure: The aggregation of the branches of the rubber macromolecule chain forms a gel. Gels are detrimental to rubber performance and processing. When mixing, various compounding agents often improve the gel area, form a local blank, cannot form reinforcement and cross-linking, and become a weak part of the product.
- Cross-linked structure: Linear molecules are connected to each other through the bridging of some atoms or groups of atoms to form a three-dimensional network structure. With the progress of the vulcanization process, this structure is continuously strengthened. In this way, the free movement ability of the chain segment is reduced, the plasticity and elongation are decreased, the strength, elasticity and hardness are increased, and the compression set and the swelling degree are decreased.
- First, the basic process
- There are many types of rubber products, but the production process is basically the same. The basic process of rubber products using general solid rubber-raw rubber as raw materials includes 6 basic procedures of plasticizing, mixing, calendering, extrusion, molding, and vulcanization. Of course, basic procedures such as raw material preparation, finished product finishing, inspection and packaging are also indispensable. The processing technology of rubber is mainly to resolve the contradiction between plasticity and elastic properties. Through various technological methods, the elastic rubber is made into a plasticized plastic compound, and various compounding agents are added to make a semi-finished product, and then the plastic semi-finished product is turned into a rubber product with high elasticity and good physical and mechanical properties through vulcanization .
- Preparation of raw materials
- 1. The main raw material of rubber products is raw rubber, which grows in tropical and subtropical rubber trees and is collected by manually cutting the bark.
- 2. Various compounding agents are auxiliary materials added to improve some properties of rubber products.
- 3. Fibrous materials (cotton, linen, wool and various man-made fibers, synthetic fibers and metal materials, steel wires) are used as framework materials for rubber products to enhance mechanical strength and limit product variations. During the preparation of raw materials, the ingredients must be accurately weighed according to the formula. In order to make the raw rubber and the compounding agent uniformly mix with each other, the material needs to be processed. Raw rubber should be softened in a drying room at 60-70 , then cut and broken into small pieces. Such as paraffin, stearic acid, rosin, etc. must be crushed. If the powder contains mechanical impurities or coarse particles, it needs to be screened to remove liquids such as pine tar, coomarone needs to be heated, melted, evaporated water, filtered impurities, the compound must be dried, otherwise it is easy to agglomerate, if it cannot be dispersed during mixing Air bubbles generated during uniform vulcanization will affect product quality
- Third, plastic
- Raw rubber is rich in elasticity and lacks the plasticity necessary for processing, so it is not easy to process. In order to improve its plasticity, it is necessary to plasticize the raw rubber, so that the compounding agent is easily dispersed evenly in the raw rubber during mixing, and it also helps to improve the permeability of the rubber material into the fabric during the calendering and molding process And molding fluidity. The process of degrading the long-chain molecules of raw rubber to form plasticity is called plasticizing. There are two types of raw rubber plastic smelting: mechanical plastic smelting and thermoplastic smelting. Mechanical mastication is to reduce the degradation of long-chain rubber molecules from the high-elasticity state to the plastic state through the mechanical extrusion and friction of the plasticizer at a not too high temperature. Thermoplastic smelting is the introduction of hot compressed air into the raw rubber to reduce the length of long chain molecules under the action of heat and oxygen to obtain plasticity.
- Fourth, mixing
- In order to adapt to a variety of different conditions of use, to obtain a variety of different properties, and to improve the performance of rubber products and reduce costs, different compounding agents must be added to the raw rubber. Mixing is a process in which the plasticized raw rubber is mixed with the compounding agent and placed in a rubber mixer to mechanically mix the compounding agent to completely and uniformly disperse the raw compound in the raw rubber. Mixing is an important process in the production of rubber products. If the mixing is not uniform, the effects of rubber and compounding agents cannot be fully exerted to affect the performance of the product. The rubber compound obtained after mixing is called mixed rubber. It is a semi-finished material for manufacturing various rubber products. The rubber compound is commonly sold as a commodity. The buyer can use the rubber compound to directly process and vulcanize the rubber product. . According to different formulations, there are a series of different grades and varieties with different properties.
- Five, molding
- In the production process of rubber products, a calender or an extruder is used to make a variety of shapes and sizes in advance. This process is called molding. The molding methods are
- Calendering
- Suitable for making simple sheet and plate products. It is a method of pressing the compounded rubber into a certain shape and a certain size through a calender, which is called calendering. Some rubber products, such as tires, tapes, hoses and other textile fiber materials must be coated with a thin layer of glue on the fiber, also known as glue or rubbing-the coating process is usually completed on the calender. Fibre materials need to be dried and dipped before drying. The purpose is to reduce the moisture content of the fiber material to prevent the water from evaporating and foaming, and to increase the temperature of the fiber material to ensure the quality of the calendering process. Dip is a necessary process before hanging glue, in order to improve the binding performance of fiber material and rubber material.
- 2. Extrusion molding
- For more complex rubber products? Such as tire treads, hoses, and wire surface rubber coatings need to be manufactured by extrusion molding. It is a method of putting the compounding rubber with certain plasticity into the hopper of the extruder and extruding it through a variety of mouth shapes, also called templates, under the extrusion of the screw. Before extrusion, the rubber must be preheated to make the rubber soft and easy to squeeze out to obtain a rubber product with a smooth surface and accurate size.
- 3. Moulding
- You can also use the molding method to make some rubber products with complex shapes such as leather bowls and seal rings. The rubber material is placed in the mold and heated to form by using the formed female and male molds.
- Six, vulcanization
- The process of converting plastic rubber into elastic rubber is called vulcanization. It is to add a certain amount of vulcanizing agent such as sulfur, vulcanization accelerator, etc. to the semi-finished product made of raw rubber. In a vulcanization tank, it is heated at a predetermined temperature and kept warm. The raw rubber's linear molecules are crosslinked with each other to form a solid network structure by generating "sulfur bridges", so that the plastic compound becomes a highly vulcanized rubber. Since the cross-linking bond is mainly composed of sulfur, it is called "vulcanization". With the rapid development of synthetic rubber, there are many types of vulcanizing agents, in addition to sulfur, there are organic polysulfides, peroxides, metal oxides and so on. Therefore, the process of converting the plastic rubber with a linear structure into the elastic rubber with a three-dimensional network structure is called vulcanization. Any substance that can play a "bridge" role in rubber materials is called a "vulcanizing agent". The vulcanized elastic rubber is called vulcanized rubber and also called soft rubber. Vulcanization is one of the most important processes in rubber processing. Various rubber products must be vulcanized to obtain the desired performance. The unvulcanized rubber has no use value in use, but the degree of undersulfurization is not enough. The vulcanization time is not enough to reach the optimal state, the oversulfurization time is exceeded, and the performance is significantly reduced. Therefore, the vulcanization time must be strictly controlled during the production process to ensure that the vulcanized rubber products have the best performance and longest service life.

- Relevant issues of vulcanization of rubber products
- 1. What toxic gases are produced when rubber products are vulcanized? During the vulcanization of rubber, some semi-closed vulcanized rubbers used in the oven will have a small amount of toxic gas discharged and can smell a very heavy rubber. For example, although sulfur monoxide, sulfur dioxide, sulfur trioxide, and hydrogen sulfide gas are basically not toxic, they are definitely harmful to the human body. Some products will cause carcinogenic things when vulcanized, or the rubber before vulcanization has carcinogenic components. As well. The organic reagents used in rubber vulcanization are more or less harmful to the human body. Such as dimethylbenzene
- 2. The vulcanization temperature of general rubber is generally 115 to 180 degrees, depending on what kind of rubber. The temperature of 200 degrees is high temperature vulcanization.
