APPLICATION OF ZEOLITES FROM THE CHANKANAI DEPOSIT IN RUBBER PRODUCTION

This article presents the results of a study of natural and activated zeolite from the Chankanai deposit as a filler for rubber compounds. The results of extensive scientific research aimed at analyzing the effect of mineral additives on the properties of elastomers confirm the high potential and future prospects for this area of research. The introduction of mineral additives into the rubber matrix under standard conditions improves its performance characteristics, reducing the cost of the material, improving its elastic and strength properties, and optimizing its processing properties. The goal of this work is to replace expensive fillers with more affordable alternatives while maintaining all the required properties of rubber compounds. Maintaining strength, elasticity, wear resistance, and other key performance indicators is a top priority when searching for and implementing replacements, allowing for cost reductions without compromising product quality. Therefore, the proposed ingredients must provide the same or improved properties to ensure the finished product meets standards and operating requirements. The study focuses on zeolites from the Chankanai deposit and rubbers used to produce dielectric mats, which must possess high electrical insulating properties and mechanical strength. Energy-dispersive spectroscopy was used to obtain data on the elemental composition of the zeolite powder samples studied. This information is critical, as it allows us to assess the effectiveness of zeolites as fillers in rubber production. Experimental studies have shown that vulcanizates obtained by partially replacing 40 parts by weight of white carbon with activated zeolite from the Chankanai deposit exhibit satisfactory physical and mechanical properties. This opens up new prospects for the use of natural and activated zeolites in the rubber industry, contributing to both cost reduction and improved vulcanizate quality.
