| abstract |
The invention relates to a rubber mixture containing silicic acid, produced from at least one rubber, an alkoxysilane containing sulfur, a cross-linking agent, a filler, optionally additional auxiliary products used in the production of rubber, wherein said mixture contains 0.1 to 15 weight parts, relative to 100 weight parts of rubber used, of a silicon-free polysulfide additive of formula (I), A-S-(S)x- S-B, wherein x stands for 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, (A) stands for a group, and (B) stands for a group, wherein R1 to R4 are the same or different and mean hydrogen, C1-C6 alkyl, C5-C6 cycloalkyl, C6-C10 aryl, or a CH2-OR5, -CH2-CH2-OR5, -NHR5, -COR5, -COOR5, -CH2COOR5 group, wherein R5 = hydrogen, C1-C6 alkyl, C5-C6 cycloalkyl, C6-C10 aryl, or C1-C6 acyl and R6 to R7 are the same or different and mean hydrogen, C1-C6 alkyl, C5-C6 cycloalkyl, C6-C10 aryl, or a -CH2-OR5, -CH2-CH2-OR5, -NHR5, -COR5, -COOR5, -CH2COOR5 group, wherein R5 = hydrogen, C1-C6 alkyl, C5-C6 cycloalkyl, C6-C10 aryl, or C1-C6 acyl and y, z stand independently of each other for 0, 1, or 2 and (A) and (B) stand independently of each other for one of the groups (C, D), wherein R1 and R2 are the same or different and mean hydrogen, C1-C6 alkyl, C5-C6 cycloalkyl, C6-C10 aryl, or a -CH2-OR5, -CH2-CH2-OR5, -NHR5, -COR5, -COOR5, -CH2COOR5 group, wherein R5 = hydrogen, C1-C6 alkyl, C5-C6 cycloalkyl, C6-C10 aryl, or C1-C6 acyl. |
