Provided are processes for producing a rubber composition, which enable a suitably low heat-generating rubber composition to be obtained by further improving coupling function activity of a silane coupling agent. More specifically, provided is a process for producing a rubber composition comprising a rubber component (A) comprising at least one selected from natural rubbers and synthetic diene rubbers, a filler containing an inorganic filler (B), a silane coupling agent (C), and at least two kinds of chemical agents (D) and (E) selected from guanidines, sulfenamides, thiazoles, thiurams, dithiocarbamates, thioureas, and xanthates, wherein the rubber composition is kneaded in a plurality of stages wherein, in the first stage (X) of kneading, the rubber component (A), all or a portion of the inorganic filler (B), all or a portion of the silane coupling agent (C), and at least two kinds of the chemical agents (D) and (E) are added and kneaded. Also provided is a process for producing a rubber composition, wherein the rubber composition is kneaded in a kneading step comprising three or more stages wherein, in the first stage (X) of kneading, the rubber component (A), all or a portion of the inorganic filler (B), all or a portion of the silane coupling agent (C) are kneaded; in a stage (Y) after the first stage but before the last stage of kneading, at least two kinds of the chemical agents (D) and (E) are added and kneaded; and, in the last stage (Z) of kneading, a vulcanizing agent is added and kneaded.
本发明提供了生产橡胶组合物的工艺,通过进一步提高硅烷偶联剂的偶联功能活性,可获得适当低发热量的橡胶组合物。更具体地说,本发明提供了一种生产橡胶组合物的工艺,该橡胶组合物包括至少一种选自天然橡胶和合成二烯橡胶的橡胶组分(A)、一种含有无机填料的填料(B)、一种硅烷偶联剂(C)以及至少两种选自胍类、亚磺酰胺类、噻唑类、噻嗪类、二硫代氨基甲酸乙酯类、二硫代氨基甲酸乙酯类、二硫代氨基甲酸乙酯类、二硫代氨基甲酸乙酯类、二硫代氨基甲酸乙酯类和二硫代氨基甲酸乙酯类的化学剂(D)和(E)、其中,橡胶组合物分多个阶段捏合,在捏合的第一阶段 (X) 中,加入并捏合橡胶组分 (A)、全部或部分无机填料 (B)、全部或部分硅烷偶联剂 (C) 以及至少两种化学剂 (D) 和 (E)。还提供了一种生产橡胶组合物的工艺,其中橡胶组合物的捏合步骤包括三个或三个以上阶段,在捏合的第一阶段(X),捏合橡胶组分(A)、全部或部分无机填料(B)、全部或部分硅烷偶联剂(C);在第一阶段之后、最后阶段之前的阶段(Y)中,加入并捏合至少两种化学剂(D)和(E);以及,在最后阶段(Z)中,加入并捏合硫化剂。
