Review of MixingIntroductionMixing of SBRMixing of NR/BR/SBRMixing of EPDMCB Dispersion in SBRConclusion Mixing gives reason to changes of ingredients and ofreactions between the ingredients Mixer behaves like a reactor In addition to mechanical work on distribution and dispersion Polymer Changes MW, MWD and LCB Radical reactions of polymer with Carbon Black Protection / Processing Aids Ingredients with functional groups reacting with polymer Acid / Base ReactionsDr. Hans-Joachim Graf3

IntroductionMixing of SBRMixing of NR/BR/SBRMixing of EPDMCB Dispersion in SBRConclusionReview of Mixing MixingUS 2820836 AWhat is the goal of Mixing? Compound, which can beprocessed in the desiredmachines, turned into a part,which meets customerexpectations Viscosity of compound –processing Dispersion of Filler – physicalproperties Homogeneity Rheology – Cure kineticDr. Hans-Joachim Graf4

IntroductionMixing of SBRMixing of NR/BR/SBRMixing of EPDMCB Dispersion in SBRConclusionReview of Mixing MixingWhat is the conflict in Mixing? Viscosity of compound: Viscosity correlates to MW:Performance – Higher is betterProcessing – Lower is better: IMHigher is better: CM, Extrusion Dispersion of Fillers Temperature rise through highshear correlates to: PolymerType / MWLoadingOil / FillerFillerType / SizeMW ( Type of Polymer),Filler (Type) / Oil loading Rheology – Cure kineticDr. Hans-Joachim Graf5
