How to design a formula for producing white soles with all-latex reclaimed rubber

Date:2021-10-12

The rubber sole has the characteristics of excellent elasticity and softness, and has a significant shock absorption effect during wearing. The white rubber sole is favored by all kinds of shoe materials, and is generally processed with natural rubber as the main raw material. With the continuous advancement of latex reclaimed rubber production technology, more rubber soles have begun to use latex reclaimed rubber, effectively reducing the cost of raw materials. In actual production, when the reclaimed latex rubber is used to produce white soles, a reasonable design formula can further improve the overall performance and service life of the rubber soles.

1. Latex reclaimed rubber selection

Reclaimed latex rubber has the basic performance characteristics of natural rubber. The effective rubber hydrocarbon content of high-quality reclaimed latex rubber can reach more than 75%, which can directly replace natural rubber to prepare white rubber soles and reduce costs. When choosing white latex reclaimed rubber 2YLYY623-LYY for white soles, it is recommended to use white latex reclaimed rubber, use environmentally friendly latex reclaimed rubber, odorless latex reclaimed rubber, it is easy to match the color during use, and it is not easy to change color and migrate. From the point of view of mechanical strength, it is more appropriate to choose reclaimed rubber that is close to the index of the finished white rubber sole.

2. Coordination skills of vulcanization system

When using white latex reclaimed rubber to produce white rubber soles, sulfur vulcanization is generally used with accelerator DM. Compared with other vulcanizing agents, sulfur vulcanized rubber has a very small smell. The rubber compound vulcanized with other vulcanizing agents such as peroxide will still have a certain peculiar smell after losing its use value. Therefore, the rubber soles are generally vulcanized with sulfur. The rubber accelerator DM is easy to disperse in the rubber compound, does not pollute, and has high operational safety during vulcanization. The vulcanized latex reclaimed rubber has excellent aging resistance.

3. Reinforcement system coordination skills

When the latex reclaimed rubber is used to produce rubber soles, high abrasion-resistant carbon black can be used in the reinforcement system to improve the tensile strength, tear strength and abrasion resistance of the vulcanized rubber. Pottery clay is easy to disperse in rubber, and its reinforcing effect is better than calcium carbonate. The vulcanized rubber has a smooth surface, high viscosity, high stiffness, and small shrinkage. After the latex reclaimed rubber sole is filled with clay, it can further improve the tensile strength, elongation at break, abrasion resistance, compression set resistance, etc. of the vulcanized rubber; the appropriate amount of magnesium carbonate can make the vulcanized rubber have better heat resistance. It should be noted that clay has the effect of delaying vulcanization during the rubber vulcanization process, and the amount of clay should be reasonably controlled and the vulcanization system should be appropriately adjusted.

4. Other system coordination skills

When using latex reclaimed rubber to produce white rubber soles, it is recommended to use mineral oil and choose non-polluting antioxidants to avoid yellowing of the rubber soles. White rubber soles generally use lithopone as a coloring agent, and the price is lower than titanium dioxide; lithopone is lithopone, a white crystalline powder, a mixture of zinc sulfide and barium sulfate. The more zinc sulfide, the stronger the hiding power and the better the quality. Higher.
