Abstract
Silica-filled rubber compound needs longer mixing time compared to carbon black-filled one since it has poor dispersion or the filler. Influence of the mixing procedure on the properties of natural rubber compound filled with both silica and carbon black was studied. The discharge temperature of the master batch (MB) mixing was $150^{\circ}C$. The mixing time was longer when silica and carbon black were loaded separately than when loaded simultaneously. The mixing time was longer when silica was loaded first than when carbon black is loaded first. The compounds prepared by one MB step (conventional mixing) were compared with the compounds prepared by two MB steps (two-step mixing). Scorch times of the two-step mixing compounds were longer than those by the conventional mixing ones. Bound rubber contents of the formers were lower than those of the tatters. The two-step mixing vulcanizates had longer elongation at break, higher tensile strength, and better fatigue life.
