[Problem] To provide a method for producing conjugated diene rubber usable as a starting material of cross-linked rubber which is used for a tire tread or the like and allows enhancement of low fuel consumption propoerty. [Means for Resolution] A method of producing modified conjugated diene rubber through a process including (a) a step of producing a modified conjugated diene polymer through reaction of a conjugated diene polymer having an alkali metal or alkaine-earth metal active terminal wherein the conjugated diene polymer is a polymer produced through polymerization of a conjugated diene compound with an aromatic vinyl compound with a first alkoxysilane compound which has both an alkoxysilyl group with two or more alkoxy groups and at least one group convertible into an onium by means of an agent for producing onium per molecule, and (b) a step of mixing the modified conjugated diene polymer, an agent for producing onium, a second alkoxysilane compound having an alkoxysilyl group and at least one group convertible into an onium by means of the agent for producing onium per molecule and a condensation catalyst containing metal element(s) for alkoxysilane compounds.
Abstract:
The present invention lies in a flame-retardant rubber composition comprising, as essential components, a synthetic rubber (a component A), a flame-retardant (a component B), sulfur (a component C) and a polyfunctional monomer (a component D), wherein an amount of the component B is 10 to 200 parts by mass, an amount of the component C is 0.1 to 15 parts by mass and an amount of the component D is 3 to 30 parts by mass, all relative to 100 parts by mass of the component A. It is a technical task of the present invention to provide a flame-retardant rubber composition which has excellent flame retardancy and can give a fully satisfactory mechanical strength (particularly, tensile strength at break) even when subjected to steam cure generally regarded to be difficult to impart a strength.
