Physical Properties Of Rubber Tires

Unfortunately most post consumer rubber derived products are still discarded as waste buried in landfills or incinerated.

Physical properties of rubber tires.

This study aims to investigate the effect of carbon black structures on the mechanical properties of industrial tyre rubber compounds containing natural rubber nr and styrene butadiene rubber sbr. However the knowledge of rubber s physical properties and their measurement is critical for compound selection. Although rubber represents a leading component tires also contain a variety of chemicals. Written by dale t.

In this article we will describe the physical properties of rubber that you will see on a physical property data sheets for elastomers that are tested to astm d2000 specifications. The purpose of this study was to determine the physical and chemical properties of tire shreds for use in engineering construction as a replacement for aggregates in embankments or as backfill. For instance racing tires must stand up. As the size of tire shreds increases physical properties such as specific gravity remained constant at 1 06 1 1.

Rubber tires are an essential part of a vehicle the contact point between a car or truck and the road surface. Physical properties of rubber. I have described what the property is why it is important and how you test it. As the tire shred size increased the hydraulic conductivity increased from 0 2 to 0 85 cm s.

Manufacturing companies will vary the chemical properties within a tire depending on its intended use. Vulcanised rubber is extensively used in many industrial sectors due to its good physical mechanical and dynamic properties as well as excellent durability outstanding abrasive resistance and relatively low cost. The rubber materials selected by designers and technical buyers should meet all their application requirements. Rubber tires come in many styles for instance all season radials and snow tires and they come in varying quality and sizes.

Most rubber tires however regardless of size or style share certain features. Gradation of tire shreds was also tested and the results were comparable to other researchers i e ranging from 50 to 300 mm.
