Determination of PAHs in tires by GC/MS and NMR

摘要

Process oils and carbon blacks are widely used in making rubber compounds, including tires. These materials often contain significant and sometimes high levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Process oils and carbon blacks, along with the PAHs contained in them, improve the processability of the rubber compounds and, when used in tire treads, enhance important rubber performance characteristics such as wet grip, wear and durability.
