Pengaruh rss/sbr dan filler CaCO3 terhadap sifat fisis kompon karpet karet

Research about preparing of rubber compound for carpet has been done. The aim of this research to study the effects of natural rubber RSS and CaCO3 as a filler, its physical properties, and also to find out rubber compound for carpet formula in accordance with SNI 12-1000-1989. The compound was produced from natural and synthetic rubber mixture with variation of RSS/SBR 70/30; 80/20; 90/10 phr respectively and the amount of CaCO3 90; 100; 110 phr respectively. The compound was made by using two roll mill machine and than it was tested the physical properties by methods of SNI 12-1000-1989 Rubber Carpet. The physical properties of compound showed that an increasing of natural rubber (RSS I) significant enfluence to increase elongation from 420,00% until 466,66% while hardness from 69,11 shore A until 68,11 sore A, and compression resistance decrease from 580,42% N/cm2 until 523,20 N/cm2. The addition of CaCO3 very significant enfluence to increase hardness from 65,77 shore A until 71,83 shore A, permanent set from 482,32 N/cm2, and the density from 1,48 g/cm2 until 1,55 g/cm2. The physical properties of elongation decrease from 464,44 % until 406,66 % and the aging resistance decrease too (colour changing and cracked). The rubber compound for carpet was produced by using RSS/SBR 80/20 and added CaCO3 100 phr accordance with SNI 12-1000-1989 and significant difference with the others.
