    STRUKTOL® SCA 98 and SCA 985 are silane coupling agents used in rubber compounding to improve properties such as abrasion resistance, modulus, hysteresis, and compression set. They work by coupling non-black pigments to the polymer backbone. SCA 98 is a tetra-sulfide silane and SCA 985 is a di-sulfide silane. The document provides information on their effectiveness with different polymers, recommended dosages, mixing procedures, and potential applications.

    STRUKTOL® SCA 98 & SCA 985

    An Overview

    STRUKTOL® SCA 98 and SCA 985 are silane coupling agents for use in rubber compounding.
    When used in rubber compounding, they provide coupling of non-black pigments to the polymer
    backbone allowing for:
    Improved abrasion resistance
    Higher compound modulus
    Lower hysteresis
    Improved compression set
    Improved rolling resistance in tire tread compounds

    The theory for their effectiveness is that the silane portion of the molecule couples with OH
    groups on the silica and silicate surfaces in non-black pigments. The sulfur portion of the mole-
    cule is available for curing activity and can enter into the vulcanization mechanism. The SCA 98
    is a tetra-sulfide silane while the SCA 985 is a di-sulfide silane. When the SCA 985 is used as a
    1:1 replacement for the SCA 98, a reduction in the cured modulus and maximum tensile may be
    noticed. This can usually be regained by increasing the sulfur level in the final mix pass.

    Suggested Dosage phr


    Levels per 100 phr filler
    Silica, ppt 3 – 13
    Clay 0.3 – 1.0
    Calcium Stearate 6–7
    Magnesium Silicate (talc) 1–4
    Fumed Silica 3 - 15

    Silane Coupling Agents 60c


    MIXING AND DUMP TEMPERATURE

    Part or all of the non-black filler should be dispersed with the STRUKTOL® SCA 98/SCA 985
    in the first mixing stage. The remaining ingredients should be added after the silane coupling
    agent and the filler have been incorporated. Curatives should be added in the last mixing stage.

    SUGGESTED TYPICAL MIX SCHEDULE

    0' Rubber
    ½' ½ to all non-black pigment STRUKTOL® SCA 98/SCA 985
    2½' Black, if present, oil, stearic acid, zinc oxide
    3½' AO2 , AO3
    4½' Clean
    5' Dump

    Because of the sulfur present in the STRUKTOL® SCA 98/SCA 985, it is necessary to control
    the maximum mixing temperature.

    The following are recommended dump temperatures:

    Natural Rubber 150°C


    SBR 150-160°C
    NBR 140°C

    Peroxide Dispersions

    Struktol peroxide dispersions are widely used in crosslinking several polymers in the
    rubber industry, as well as acting as a viscosity reducer in polypropylene. The
    proprietary carriers aid in dispersing the peroxide and will reduce incorporation time.
