Abstract

Disclosed is a rubber composition for tire treads and a tire manufactured using the same. The rubber composition for tire treads includes 50 to 200 parts by weight of a wet masterbatch, 60 to 70 parts by weight of a raw rubber, and 50 to 200 parts by weight of a carbon black, the wet masterbatch being prepared by reacting 50 to 200 parts by weight of a carbon black, 20 to 100 parts by weight of a plant based resin and 50 to 200 parts by weight of a processing oil with respect to 100 parts by weight of a styrene-butadiene latex, according to a batchwise method. Accordingly, high grip performance is exhibited under a condition of heavy load, high slip and high speed, thereby being applicable to an ultra-high performance tire.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A rubber composition for tire treads, the rubber composition comprising:
50 to 200 parts by weight of a wet masterbatch,
60 to 70 parts by weight of a raw rubber, and
50 to 200 parts by weight of a carbon black,
wherein the wet masterbatch is prepared by reacting 50 to 200 parts by weight of a carbon black, 20 to 100 parts by weight of a plant based resin and 50 to 200 parts by weight of a processing oil with respect to 100 parts by weight of a styrene-butadiene latex, according to a batchwise method, and wherein the plant based resin has a softening point of 50 to 90° C.

2. The rubber composition according to claim 1 , wherein, in the styrene-butadiene latex, an amount of styrene is 40 to 60 wt %, and an amount of vinyl in butadiene is 15 to 45 wt %.

3. The rubber composition according to claim 1 , wherein the plant based resin is selected from the group consisting of sesame resin, sunflower resin, coconut resin, palm resin, palm kernel resin, soya bean resin, rice resin, olive resin, geranium resin, chamomile resin, tea tree resin, lemon resin, jasmine resin, rose resin, lavender resin, camellia resin, caster resin, cotton seed resin, linseed resin, rape seed resin, arachis resin, rosin resin, pine resin, tall resin, corn resin, safflower resin, jojoba resin, macadamia nut resin, tung resin and mixtures thereof.

4. The rubber composition according to claim 1 , wherein the processing oil comprises 35±5 wt % of an aromatic ingredient, 28±5 wt % of a naphthenic ingredient, and 38±5 wt % of a paraffin based ingredient, with respect to a total weight of the processing oil.

5. The rubber composition according to claim 1 , wherein, in the processing oil, a content of benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) as an ingredient among polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) is 1 ppm or less, and
a total content of eight PAH types such as benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), benzo(e)pyren (BeP), benzo(a)anthracene (BaA), chrysen (CHR), benzo(b)fluoranthene (BbFA), benzo(j)fluoranthene (BjFA), benzo(k)fluoranthene (BkFA) and dibenzo(a,h)anthracene is 10 ppm or less.

6. The rubber composition according to claim 1 , wherein, in the rubber composition for tire treads and the wet masterbatch, the carbon black each independently has an iodine absorption amount of 200 to 1000 mg/g and an N-dibutyl phthalate (DBP) oil absorption amount of 150 to 800 ml/100 g.

7. The rubber composition according to claim 1 , wherein the raw rubber comprises a styrene-butadiene rubber in which a content of styrene is 30 to 50 wt %, a content of vinyl in butadiene is 40 to 65 wt %, a content of oil is 5 to 45 wt %, and glass transition temperature is −19° C. to −29° C.

8. A tire manufactured using the rubber composition for tire treads according to claim 1 .
