Abstract

A coating rubber composition for a conveyer belt, comprising 15 to 75 parts by mass of carbon black having a nitrogen adsorption specific surface area of 50 m 2 /g or less, 25 to 100 parts by mass of calcium carbonate and 40 parts or less by mass of an oil per 100 parts by mass of blended rubber comprising of natural rubber and at least one of either butadiene rubber or SBR. The above coating rubber composition for conveyer belts can improve not only the peel force which is a criterion of adhesiveness with the canvas cloth but also the power-saving capability of the conveyer belt while maintaining the durability thereof. Further, compounding of silica in an amount of 5 to 20 parts by mass can achieve a sufficient rubber attachability onto the canvas cloth when over-vulcanized, while maintaining the peel force when subjected to normal vulcanization.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A coating rubber composition for conveyer belts, comprising 15 to 75 parts by mass of carbon black having a nitrogen adsorption specific surface area of 50 m 2 /g or less, 25 to 100 parts by mass of calcium carbonate, and 40 parts or less by mass of oil per 100 parts by mass of blended rubber comprising of natural rubber and at least one of either butadiene rubber or SBR, wherein the amounts of carbon black and calcium carbonate are respectively changed to 10 to 65 parts by mass, and 20 to 100 parts by mass, and 5 to 20 parts by mass of silica is further compounded.

2. The coating rubber composition for conveyer belts according to claim 1 , wherein the blended rubber comprises 15 to 65 mass % of natural rubber and 85 to 35 mass % of butadiene rubber or SBR.

3. The coating rubber composition for conveyer belts according to claim 1 , wherein the amount of oil is 10 to 35 parts by mass.

4. The coating rubber composition for conveyer belts according to claim 1 , for use as a coating rubber-forming material between a rubber cover and a canvas cloth of a conveyer belt and/or between canvas cloths.

5. A conveyer belt comprising an upper surface rubber cover layer, a sheet-like reinforcement layer and a lower surface rubber cover layer, wherein the coating rubber composition for conveyer belts according to claim 4 is used as a coating rubber-forming material for the reinforcement layer when the coating rubber composition is press bonded to both surfaces of a canvas cloth to form the sheet-like reinforcement layer.

6. The conveyer belt according to claim 5 , wherein a peel force (in accordance with JIS K6256-1), which shows a criterion of adhesiveness with the canvas cloth, is 6 N/mm or more.

7. The conveyer belt according to claim 5 used as an endless belt in which the ends of a belt body are joined to each other.
