Abstract:

Heavy calcium powder is widely used as a filler in rubber processing, but the interface with the rubber material is poorly combined due to high polarity and poor dispersibility of powders, which affects the mechanical properties such as tensile strength and elongation at break of the rubber product. In this paper, the precipitation method is used to form calcium carbonate which is directly crystallized on the surface of heavy calcium powder particles in CaCl2-H2O-NH3-CO2 system. If n(CaCl2):n(heavy calcium powder)=1:100, 5:100, 10:100 coated calcium powder are filled into natural rubber and recycled rubber, the mechanical properties of rubber are some what improved compared to rubber filled with uncoated calcium powder. The filling amount is 8.5% and 15%, in the mechanical properties such as hardness and modulus, the coated calcium powder rubber product is obviously superior to the light calcium powder rubber product; when it comes to 5% or 8.5%, the tensile strength and elongation at break of the coated heavy calcium rubber product are close to that of silica, and the hardness is higher than rubber products filled with silica.
