PENGARUH PENAMBAHAN ALKANOLAMIDA TERHADAP KARAKTERISTIK PEMATANGAN DAN KEKERASAN VULKANISAT KARET ALAM BERPENGISI SILIKA

Abstract

By using a semi-efficient sulfur accelerated vulcanization system, a research about the effect of  the alcanolamide on cure characteristics and hardnes propertiess of natural rubber filled silika and alkanolamide been done. Alcanolamide produced from palm oil derivatives reacted with dietanolamine. Alcanolamide aaded  into  rubber  with levels 1.0, 3.0; 5.0; 7.0; 9.0; phr. It was found that  alcanolamide gave shorter  Scorch time and cure time. Alkanolamide also exhibited higher torque different, tensile moduli, tensile strength, and crosslink density up to  5.0 phr and ten decrease with future increaseing addition of alcanolamide.
