Abstract

Waste resorcinol-formaldehyde-latex (RFL) dip solid was collected from the suction chamber of a typical tyre industry dip unit. The physico-chemical characterization of the material was carried out, along with a fresh RFL dip solid obtained by drying a fresh dip solution. The effect of the waste material was studied in a styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) based compound in both gum and filled state. The waste material was treated with boiled water and dilute hydrochloric acid and the effect of the treated material was further studied in the SBR based filled compound. The filler dispersion, polymer-filler interaction and dynamic mechanical properties was also studied.
