FOREWORD

There is a need for a new rubber sole and heel compound for the Army combat footwear readily produced by application of the direct molded sole process. Although the presently °->pted standard sole compound has been exhibiting satisfactory wear properties and durability, it does not provide the combat boot with adequate traction at low temperature and on snow and ice. This deficiency of the present outsole compound was confirmed by the U. S. Army troops who conducted an actual wear test in Alaska on the newly adopted combat boots.

It was for this reason that this laboratory initiated a rubber compounding development program aimed at obtaining a soling material which would provide both adequate traction on snow and ice and satis- factory wear serviceability.

This report discusses the development and evaluation of the new rubber compound designed solely for the Army combat boot with the direct molded sole construction.

ABSTRACT

A new direct molded sole rubber compound designed primarily to give better traction at low temperature, and on snow and ice, than the present standard vinyl-modified Buna N rubber compound, has been successfully developed by utilizing Styrene-Butadiene rubber (SBR), type 1502.

The vulcanizates of this new compound exhibited good physical properties which are comparable with the physical properties exhibited by the present standard sole compound. In addition, this new compound also displayed excellent ozone resistance and good low-temperature behavior - a property which makes this compound more suitable for wear on snow and ice.

Furthermore, the test results on the finished boot samples showed that the new SBR compound has satisfied not only the curing conditions imposed by the CHMA and Wellco process but also the physical requirements, except for solvent resistance, which are specified in Military Specifica- tion, MIL-B-43154, for the standard direct molded sole (DMS) combat boot.

IMPROVED LOW-TEMPERATURE TRACTION RUBBER SOLING FOR DMS FOOTWEAR

I. Introduction

One of the many items developed by the U.S. Army Natick Laboratories under the Army Research and Development program is the Army combat boot with the direct molded sole construction. The development of this item was accomplished by utilizing the technique brought about by the CEMA process^. This technique fabricates shoes by molding and bonding in one operation the sole and heel to the bottom part of the leather shoe upper. The new technique, therefore, has eliminated stitching, nailing, and cementing, which were the conventional operations used in attaching rubber soles and heels to the boot uppers. Another good feature of this process is an improvement in the end product; that is, the rubber bond is not only made more waterproof than the conventional construction, but contributes to much longer shoe life.

In contributing to the successful development of the direct molded sole combat footwear, the Rubber Technology Group of the Clothing and Organic Materials Division undertook intensive compounding development of rubber stocks that could perform satisfactorily under the curing conditions and problems imposed by the CEMA Vulcanizing Process.

The process of vulcanizing the sole and heel directly to the shoe upper consists of inserting a lightweight aluminum metal last into the shoe upper to provide some degree of rigidity. The lasted shoe upper, firmly held in locked position, is then placed over the sole mold.

The mold consists of three parts, a bottom plate and two side plates. The two side plates are cut to the proper contour and size to form the edges of the sole. Before placing the lasted upper over the sole mold, a weighed amount of unvulcanized rubber sole and heel is placed on the bottom plate and the curing cycle is started automatically. The side plates move in against the lower edge of the shoe to form a tight seal and then the bottom plate moves upward, forcing the uncured compound against the shoe upper bottom and out into the mold.

The force for closing the side and bottom plates is provided by hydraulic pressure acting on the pistons attached to the plates. The heat for vulcanization of the sole and heel compound is supplied by electric heaters inside the bottom and side plates of the mold.

At the end of the curing cycle, the pressure is released and the side molds open to the full extent of their travel. The sole mold is withdrawn and the shoe is left free on the last away from the source of heat. The final step is removal of the metal last from the finished shoe.

Basically, this technique of vulcanizing the sole and heel to the leather upper has presented problems in the formulation of a satisfactory sole and heel rubber compound. One of the problems is the low molding pressure. The side mold pressure must be kept low to prevent cutting and other damages to the leather of the shoe by the side plates. The pressure on the bottom plates should also be low tc prevent the compound from flowing through the seal formed by the side plates and the shoe. Thus, the CEMA process maintains operating pressure much lower than the opera- clng pressure used by the conventional rubber vulcanizing process.

One other problem to consider with this process is the low heat input for vulcanization. Since the leather from which the shoe is made is not resistant to high temperature, the side plates' temperature must be kept as low as practicable to prevent deterioration of the leather during vulcanization. Furthermore, the major heat for vulcanization is applied only to the bottom plates of the sole mold and to a small area of the side mold. And since there is no direct heat contact between the bottom plates and the surface upon which the sole is molded, the problem of obtaining a satisfactory cure which would give the molded-on-sole satisfactory wear and adhesion properties at the interface of the rubber and the leather becomes even more difficult.

The short vulcanization cycles pose another problem. Normally, the direct molded sole process is designed to produce one pair for each cycle. This, again, is in contrast to the conventional procedure of using multicavity molds and multi-platens process. Thus, for efficiency and economy, the curing cycle must be as short as possible to enable a maximum hourly output of finished shoes per vulcanizer.

To perform satisfactorily under the set of curing restrictions cited above, the compound should be fast curing and should have an excellent flow under low pressure. For example, a representative compound might be satisfactory with respect to the rate of cure but not acceptable for adequate mold flow. On the other hand, the mold flow might be satis- factory but the cure rate might be too slow and the compound would not be acceptable.

II. Development of Polyblend Buna N Rubber Compound for Direct Molded Sole Footwear

The development of a polyblend rubber compound started when this new type of elastomeric compound was first introduced commercially. Since this was a new product, this laboratory undertook evaluation studies of it for military applications. It r^as found that the vulcanizates of this new material exhibited amazingly good physical properties, including excellent gasoline and ozone resistance. At that time, gasoline resist- ant soling for combat footwear was being considered, and, for this reason, the program of developing this new polyblend nitrile rubber for direct

Page 10: OW-TEMPERATÜRE TRACT10M RUBBER SOLE  RE TRACT10M RUBBER SOLE COMPOIIO FOR QMS ... compound has been exhibiting satisfactory wear properties and ... process is an improvement

molded sole combat footwear was initiated. A series of compounding formulations were tried and, finally, under the joint effort cf Naugatuck Chemical Division of U.S. Rubber Company and this laboratory, a sole and heel formulation which performed satisfactorily under both the curing and molding conditions of CEKA process was obtained.

Using this formulation, Endlcott Johnson Corporation, under contract, fabricated the first samples of direct molded sole combat footwear which were then subjected to actual wear test by Army troops. Wear test results, however, indicated failure of the boots to maintain satisfactory wear life. Sole and heel separations from the shoe upper, due to weak bond, were found to be the most consistent failures. This type of failure was quickly over- come by developing an improved vulcanizing rubber cement for use with this compound for direct molded sole process. This improved cement has now given the Army direct molded sole footwear excellent wear durability. The rubber compounding recipe is given in Table XI and test results are shown in Table XII.

III. Development Compounding of Styrene-Butadiene for BMS Foctwear

The reported unsatisfactory traction performance on snow and ice^) of the direct molded sole combat leather boot with the standard vinyl- modified Buna N rubber compound created the need for a new rubber soling material which would give improved traction qualities at low temperature and on snow and ice.

An attempt, therefore, was made by this laboratory to develop a soling compound which would provide combat footwear with adequate traction, particularly on snow and ice. Development effort was directed toward obtaining softer compounds which will remain flexible and soft in tempera- tures as low as 0°F, thus allowing greater retention of traction character- istics by the outsole at lower temperatures^).

Exploratory compounding was then undertaken, and a series of formu- lations utilizing most of the available general purpose rubbers, such as (Natural, Polychloroprene, Chlorosulfonated Polyethylene, Styrene-Butadiene, and even blends of cis-Polybutadiene with vinyl-modifled Buna N and with other rubbers, were explored. The compounding recipes and properties of these compounds are given in Tables I to V.

Compounds which displayed desirable properties were carefully noted. Among those compounds worth investigating was the Polychloroprene- containing compound. Two candidate compounds were evaluated and DMS combat footwear samples, using compound 63-C-45, were fabricated by this labora- tory and were actually wear tested^) by some Army troops at Fort Lee, Virginia,proving ground. Tal?le VI gives the recipes used in development compounding and the properties of the compounds. Difficulties in mass producing this compound led to continued development for a new compound.

The polyblend-containing compounds, likewir displayed excellent abrasion resistance and these compounds also wert worth investigating because blending cis-Polybutadiene with vinyl-modified Buna N, which is the rubber used in obtaining the present DMS compound, gave significant improvement to abrasion characteristics. The recipes used in compound- ing and the properties obtained are given in Table VII.

Although the Polychloroprene and polyblend-containing compound exhibited desirable properties, neither one of these compound«« was con- sidered to satisfy the Army's need for a new DMS rubber compound with improved traction on snow and lie. The personnel responsible for under- taking this project believed that a cheaper and a better quality sole compound could be obtained with Styrene-Butadiene-containing compound. The good low-temperature behavior, easy processing characteristics and cheaper cost of the Styrene-Butadiene rubber are the chief reasons for selecting Styrene-Butadiene-containing compound for the development of the needed sole and heel material.

Three phases of compounding development work were, therefore, performed on the SBR-containing rubber. The first was to obtain an ozone-resistant compound. SBR is known to be susceptible to ozone attack, but its compatibility to blend with Ethylene-Propylene Diene rubber (1PDM)(6) made it possible to obtain an SBR compound with excel- lent ozone resistance. Table VIII gives the recipes used in compounding and the test results obtained.

The next phase was compounding for abrasion resistance. SBR com- pound reinforced with hydrated silica does not usually display high abrasion performance. However, good physical property, including abrasion resistance, could be obtained with SBR 1502, reinforced with HiSil 233, by the omission of zinc oxide(5) in the compound. Normally, zinc oxide is needed in conventional rubber compounding as an activator and stabilizer. Table IX gives the effect of varying the zinc oxide loading in the compound and the recipes used.

Lastly, the compounding development included obtaining a stock which would perform satisfactorily under the Military Specification requirement for sole and heel compound and under the curing and molding conditions of th. CEMA vulcanizing process. The Mooney viscometer was then employed to measure the cure rate and flow characteristics of the candidate compounds. The recipes used in compounding and the properties obtained are shown in Table X. The best overall properties are exhibited by compound SBR-29b and, therefore, represented the new rubber sole com- pound for the DMS combat footwear. The new compound, whose formulation is given in Table XI, was evaluated against the present OMS compound, and Table XII gives the comparative properties of the two compounds.

IV. Experimental and Test Procedures

All rubber compounding and vulcanization were done in this Laboratory with the conventional standard laboratory rubber-processing equipment.

In addition to the nrepared and molded-slab samples for evaluation, samples of combat boots were also fabricated, utilizing the CEMA equipment available in tbese Laboratories, to determine the molding and curing characteristics of the compound when processed by the SMS technique.

The vulcanizing rubber cement used in molding the rubber sole and heel directly to the leather upper was also prepared according to the recipes listed in Table XIII, Vulcanising Cement for Vinyl-Modified Buna N Standard Compound and Table XIV, Vulcanizing Cement for SBR Compound.

The new SBR compound was further evaluated in production quantities by Wellco Ro-Search, Inc. One hundred pairs of DMS boots were made by this Company for evaluation. Wellco Ro-Search production personnel, however, believed that the new soling compound needed modification to suit their processing and molding equipment. A slight modification of the compound was made, and, using this modified formula, the one hundred pairs of combat boots were fabricated. The modified formulation for both rubber and cement compound is given in Table XV.

I Laboratory tests were also performed on the Wellco Ro-Search fabri- cated boots and the results are tabulated in Table XVI. The boots are presently under wear test.

Bond strength by dead weight application was run in accordance with Par. 4.4.6 of KLL-B-43154 except that a 20-pound dead weight was used for separation instead of the machine method of ASTM 0-413.

V. Results and Piscussion

It was shown in Table VI, Development of Polychloroprene-Containing Compounds, that Neoprene WRT can be compounded to give a good quality non- mark sole and heel compound.

Likewise, test results obtained with Folvblend-containing compounds listed in Table VII showed significant improvement in abrasion resistance of vinyl-modified Buna N when blended with cis-Polybutadiene-type rubber in varying amounts.

With the development compounding of Styrene-Butadiene-containing compounds, it was shown by test results in Table VIII that SBR 1502 can be definitely protected from ozone attack by blending it with Royalene X-400, an oil-extended Bthylene-Propylene Diene rubber, plus addition of antiozonant in normal amount. Likewise, the test results obtained with compounds listed in Table IX, Effect of ZnO Leading in SBR 1502, have shown that the most desirable properties of SBR 1302, reinforced with HiSil 233, can be obtained by omitting zinc oxide, which is normally needed in conventional rubber compounding.

Finally, the new compound SBR-29b, listed in Table XI, was evaluated against the present standard DMS compound. The test results, as shown in Table XII, showed the experimental compound to have properties, excepting gasoline resistance, comparable with the properties of the standard sole compound. This would indicate that satisfactory wear performance can be expected of this newly developed compound. The hard- ness property at 0°F, on the other hand, indicated that the SBR compound displayed less tendency to harden than the vinyl-modified Buna N compound. Again, this would demonstrate that the new SBR soling compound can be expected to provide better traction at low temperature and on snow and ice.

In addition, the test data obtained with the Wellco Ro-Search modi- fied SBR compound (listed in Table XV with test results on both the molded slab samples and finished boots shown in Table XVI) also compared favorably with the test data obtained with the original experimental compound SBR-29b, Furthermore, the test data also showed that the new compound can be satisfactorily produced by the direct molded sole technique.

VI. Conclusions

a. A high quality non-mark soling compound with very desirable

physical properties, excellent ozone resistance and good low temperature serviceability for direct molded sole combat footwear can be obtained with Styrene-Butadiene rubber type 1502.

b. A soling material with an unusually high abrasion characteristic and with good gasoline resistance can be obtained by blending is-Poly- butat'iene rubber with vinyl-modified Buna N.

It. ABSTRACT

A new direct molded sole rubber compound designed primarily to give better traction at low temperature, and on snow and ice, than the present standard vinyl-modified Buna N rubber compound, has been successfully developed by utilizing Styrene-Butadiene rubber (SBR), type 1502.

The vulcanizeces of this new compound exhibited good physical properties which are comparable with the physical properties exhibited by the present standard sole compound. In addition, this new compound also displayed excellent ozone resistance and good low-temperature behavior - a property which makes this compound more suitable for wear on snow and ice.

Furthermore, the test results on the finished boot samples showed that the new SBR compound has satisfied not only the curing conditions imposed by the CEMA and Wellco process but also the physical requirements, except for solvent resistance, which are specified in Military Specification, MIL-B-43154, for the standard direct molded sole (DMS) combat boot.
