Antistatic rubber sheet is a sheet rubber product with a certain thickness and area which is vulcanized with rubber as the main material. Generally, nitrile rubber is used as the main raw material, and it is mostly used in electronic semiconductor devices, computers, communication equipment, and integrated circuits. The electronic process production workshop or laboratory does not require high tensile strength of the rubber, and can be controlled at 5Mpa. Therefore, a certain proportion of vulcanized rubber powder can be blended to reduce the production cost.
Vulcanized rubber powder is a powder material processed by mechanical rubber under the action of mechanical force. The composition contains a large amount of rubber hydrocarbon and carbon black. When used as a filler in antistatic rubber sheet, the rubber hydrocarbon component can make the finished rubber sheet. Maintaining high elasticity, carbon black can play a good electrical conductivity; adding a certain proportion of vulcanized rubber powder to the anti-static rubber sheet can reduce the production cost and solve the environmental pollution problem of some waste rubber products. In actual production, the addition of vulcanized rubber powder will affect the process performance and physical and mechanical properties of the anti-static rubber sheet. The specific performance is as follows:
1. Effect of vulcanized rubber powder on processing performance of nitrile antistatic rubber sheet
(1) Vulcanization performance: The vulcanized rubber powder only undergoes crushing during processing. The unreacted vulcanizing agent and vulcanization aid in the waste rubber product are not removed. The more vulcanized rubber powder is used, the residual vulcanizing agent and vulcanization aid. The more the amount of the nitrile rubber, the residual part of the compounding agent will participate in the vulcanization reaction. The increase of the concentration of the vulcanizing agent and the vulcanization aid in the whole formulation will lead to shortening of the scorch time and the vulcanization time, and vulcanization. The speed increases, the safety of scorch deteriorates, and the fluidity deteriorates.
(2) Mooney viscosity: vulcanized rubber powder can be used as a filler in antistatic nitrile rubber sheet to increase the viscosity of the rubber compound. The more the rubber powder is used, the larger the viscosity of the nitrile rubber compound and the lower the fluidity of the rubber compound.
Adding vulcanized rubber powder to the antistatic rubber sheet can reduce the production cost of the product, shorten the vulcanization time, and improve the vulcanization efficiency; at the same time, it will lead to the deterioration of the safety and fluidity of the scorch, affecting the use of the antistatic nitrile rubber sheet. Performance and longevity, does this mean that the vulcanized rubber powder is “nothing to do” in the anti-static rubber sheet, and its addition will affect the physical and mechanical properties of the nitrile anti-static rubber sheet; How to eliminate the negative effects of vulcanized rubber powder? Xiaobian will discuss with you about the application of vulcanized rubber powder in anti-static rubber sheet next week.
