Abstract

A sulfur-crosslinkable rubberizing mixture for strengthening elements in motor vehicle pneumatic tires comprises 70 to 100 phr (parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of total rubbers in the mixture) of natural rubber, up to 30 phr of at least one polybutadiene, 40 to 70 phr of at least one carbon black and a bonding system. Further, motor vehicle pneumatic tires are disclosed that comprise the sulfur-crosslinked rubberizing mixture. The key conflict between tear propagation resistance, stiffness and heat build-up is solved by virtue of the carbon black being a nanostructured carbon black with a rough surface.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A sulfur-crosslinkable rubberizing mixture for reinforcement in pneumatic tires, the mixture comprising:
from 70 to 100 phr (parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of all of the rubbers in the mixture) of natural rubber;
from 0 to 30 phr of at least one polybutadiene;
from 40 to 70 phr of at least one carbon black; and,
an adhesive system,

wherein the at least one carbon black is a nanostructured carbon black with a specific surface area STSA accessible for rubber in accordance with ASTM D6556 of ≧ 80 m 2 /g.

2. The rubberizing mixture as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the nanostructured carbon black has an oil absorption number OAN in accordance with ASTM D2414 of ≧ 135 mL/100 g and an iodine adsorption number in accordance with ASTM D1510 of ≧90 mg/g, where a ratio of OAN to STSA is >1.1.

3. The rubberizing mixture as claimed in claim 1 ,
comprising 100 phr of natural rubber.

4. The rubberizing mixture as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an amount of the at least one carbon black is from 40 to 60 phr.

5. The rubberizing mixture as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising from 2 to 15 phr of at least one pale-colored filler.

6. The rubberizing mixture as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the reinforcement is a metallic reinforcement.

7. The rubberizing mixture as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the adhesive system is a steel cord adhesive system comprising an organic cobalt salt, a reinforcing resin, and more than 2.5 phr of sulfur.

8. A pneumatic tire which comprises a sulfur-crosslinked rubberizing mixture as claimed in claim 1 .

9. The pneumatic tire as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the rubberizing mixture is a belt-rubber mix.

10. The pneumatic tire as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the rubberizing mixture is a carcass-rubber mix.

11. The rubberizing mixture as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the ratio of OAN to STSA is >1.3.

12. The pneumatic tire as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the pneumatic tire is a tire for a commercial vehicle.
