Abstract:
A method of producing elastomer composite blend, comprising:feeding a continuous flow of first fluid comprising elastomer latex to a mixing zone of a coagulum reactor;feeding a continuous flow of second fluid comprising particulate filler under pressure to the mixing zone of the coagulum reactor to form a mixture with the elastomer latex, the particulate filler being effective to coagulate the elastomer latex and the feeding of the second fluid against the first fluid within the mixing zone being sufficiently energetic to substantially completely coagulate the elastomer latex with the particulate filler in the coagulum reactor;discharging a substantially continuous flow of elastomer composite from the coagulum reactor; anddry mixing the elastomer composite with additional elastomer to form elastomer composite blend.
