Original Abstract Submitted
The present invention relates to the use of at least one N,N-dimethylamide as an additive in an elastomeric composition for producing a tread band for vehicle wheels, wherein the N,N-dimethylamide has the formula: formula (I), wherein: R is a C-Calkyl group, and R′ and R″ are methyl. A further aspect of the present invention concerns a vulcanised elastomeric material for producing a tread band for vehicle wheels obtained by vulcanising an elastomeric composition comprising (a) at least one elastomeric polymer, (b) at least one reinforcing filler selected among hydroxides, oxides and hydrated oxides, salts and hydrated salts of metals or mixtures thereof and (c) at least one N,N-dimethylamide of formula (I). An additional aspect of the present invention concerns a tread band for vehicle wheels comprising a vulcanised elastomeric material, which vulcanised elastomeric material is obtained by vulcanising an elastomeric composition comprising (a) at least one elastomeric polymer, (b) at least one reinforcing filler selected among hydroxides, oxides and hydrated oxides, salts and hydrated salts of metals or mixtures thereof and (c) at least one N,N-dimethylamide of formula (I). The inventive use and the inventive composition provide effective elastomeric materials particularly suitable for use as treads on vehicle tyres.
