This invention describes a staged process in which successive dynamic vulcanizations of plural curable rubber blend components are based on condensation reactions of a functional group (reactive site) carried by each curable rubber. The process is carried out in three stages during each of which gases evolved during the condensation reactions are removed. It is essential to form an intermediate fully dense hard blend in the second stage. This intermediate hard blend contains a relatively large amount of plastic (relative to curable rubbers) and is therefore much harder than the desired final blend. In the third stage, additional rubber and curative for uncured rubber are added to achieve the desired softness. This process, carried out in an extruder, results in fully dense pellets which are injection moulded to produce articles having essentially the same specific gravity as that of the pellets.
本发明描述了一种分阶段工艺,在该工艺中,基于每种可硫化橡胶所带官能团(反应位点)的缩合反应,对多种可硫化橡胶混合物成分进行连续动态硫化。该工艺分三个阶段进行,在每个阶段中,冷凝反应过程中挥发的气体都会被清除。在第二阶段,必须形成完全致密的中间硬混合物。这种中间硬混合物含有相对较多的塑料(相对于可固化橡胶而言),因此比所需的最终混合物要硬得多。在第三阶段,为未固化橡胶添加额外的橡胶和固化剂,以达到所需的柔软度。这一过程在挤出机中进行,最终得到完全致密的颗粒,通过注塑成型生产出与颗粒比重基本相同的物品。
