A tire mold having improved heat transfer is disclosed. A plurality of wear plates are installed onto a conical inner surface of an actuating ring. The wear plates are designed to improve thermal transfer between the actuating ring and a segmented treadmolding ring, reducing tire cure time and temperature variation within the mold.

There is a need for polymers which are utilized in automotive interiors which offer good color stability as well as a high level of heat and ultraviolet light resistance. It is particularly critical for polymers which are utilized in making skin compounds for automotive instrument and door panels to have excellent color stability as well as excellent heat and ultraviolet light resistance. This invention discloses a rubbery polymer which can be blended with polyvinyl chloride to make leathery compositions having good color stability, heat resistance and ultraviolet light resistance, said rubbery polymer being comprised of repeat units which are derived from (a) butyl acrylate, or optionally a mixture of butyl acrylate and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate containing up to about 40 percent 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, (b) at least one member selected from the group consisting of methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, methyl acrylate and ethyl acrylate, (c) acrylonitrile, (d) styrene, (e) a conjugated diene monomer and (f) a crosslinking agent; wherein the repeat units which are derived from the conjugated diene monomer are epoxidized. Such leathery compositions offer an excellent combination of properties for utilization in making skin compounds for panels used in automotive applications.

Cured blends of acrylonitrile/butadiene (NBR)/epichlorohydrin rubbers are provided that are free of poisonous lead compounds with ozone resistance of 10 hours or more and good heat resistance and fuel and oil resistance. These acrylonitrile/butadiene rubbers contain 28 to 33% by weight of acrylonitrile. The epichlorohydrin rubbers are useful in this invention which contains at least 4 to 12% of allyl glycidyl ether and may contain 0 to 35% of ethylene oxide, preferably 2 to 6% and up to 15%. The acrylonitrile/butadiene rubber is preferably of so-called bound antioxidant type which contains about 1 to about 10% by weight of polymerized attached antioxidant containing monomer.

There is a need for colorers which are utilized in automotive interiors which offer good color stability as well as a high level of Neat and ultraviolet light resistance. It is particularly critical for polymers which are utilized in making skin compounds for automotive instrument and door panels to have excellent color stability as well as excellent heat and ultraviolet light resistance. This invention discloses a rubbery polymer which can be blended with polyvinyl chloride to make leathery compositions having good color stability, heat resistance and ultraviolet light resistance, said rubbery polymer being comprised of repeat units which are derived from (a) butyl acryylate, or optionally a mixture of butyl acrylate and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate containing up to about 40 percent 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, (b) at least one member selected from the group consisting of methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, methyl acrylate and ethyl acrylate, (c) acrylonitrile, (d) styrene, (e) a conjugated diene monomer and (f) a crosslinking agent; wherein the repeat units which are derived from the conjugated diene monomer are epoxidized.
