This paper focuses on the study of economic issues in the rubber compounding in the tire industry. The increased demand for tires, along with the growing demand for tires with high performance characteristics, has a significant impact on the market of chemicals used in tire manufacturing. One of the urgent tasks of the technologist is the need to reduce the cost of the rubber compound, while maintaining high quality. Antioxidants are the class of ingredients that significantly affect the cost of a rubber compound. The lack of domestic production and technology for stabilizers remains a serious technical problem for the tire industry in Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). In this paper, we consider the possibility of reducing the cost of rubber due to the development and implementation of a new type of ingredients - multifunctional stabilizers. The research clearly deminstrates that the polyoxypropylated aromatic mono- and diamines exhibit the properties of highly effective antioxidants, antiozonants, and anti-fatigue agents. In addition, a study of this class of ingredients revealed the multifunctionality of their action. They are also able to increase the rubber tack of rubber compounds and are good adhesives. The results of the study of experimental rubber compounds showed the possibility of replacing the imported stabilizer 6PPD with the polyoxyalkylated aromatic mines and diamines. The manifestation of the adhesive properties of compounds of this class opens up new possibilities in solving one of the main problems, which consists in reducing the number and content of rubber compounds. © 2021, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
