The present invention aims to provide a rubber composition that improves heat resistance and particularly inhibits the changes in properties such as hardness of the vulcanized rubber composition (rubber hardening degradation) due to long-term use without an increased amount of an age resistor, thereby extending the life-span without deterioration of performance on ice, and reduces vulcanization time while maintaining good scorch resistance, and increases cross-linking efficiency; and a studless tire having a cap tread produced from the composition. The rubber composition for a cap tread of the invention comprises: a rubber component containing an isoprene-based rubber; silica; a compound represented by formula (I) and/or (II); and a thiuram vulcanization accelerator,
wherein R1 and R2 may be the same or different, and each represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group, or an aralkyl group, provided that the case where R1 and R2 are simultaneously hydrogen atoms is excluded.
本发明旨在提供一种橡胶组合物,该组合物可提高耐热性,尤其可抑制
硫化橡胶组合物因长期使用而导致的硬度等性能变化(橡胶硬化降解),且无需增加抗老化剂的用量,从而可延长使用寿命而不会降低冰上性能,并可缩短
硫化时间,同时保持良好的耐焦烧性,还可提高交联效率;以及一种无钉轮胎,该轮胎具有由该组合物生产的盖胎面。本发明的盖胎面橡胶组合物包括:含有
异戊二烯基橡胶的橡胶组分;
白炭黑;由式(I)和/或(II)代表的化合物;以及
秋兰姆硫化
促进剂、
其中 R1 和 R2 可以相同或不同,各自代表氢原子、烷基、芳基或芳烷基,但不包括 R1 和 R2 同时为氢原子的情况。
