The reduction of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) particle was prepared by wet grinding method with 40% dispersion. The particle sizes of CaCO3 were studied with various time of wet grinding. It was found that the particle sizes of CaCO3 rapidly decreased in 3 day of grinding after that it was slightly reduce. Therefore the CaCO3 at various time of wet grinding were mixed with concentrate latex (60% dry rubber content DRC). The result showed that the wet grinding for 2 days provided the superior machanical properties. In addition the compound with epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) as a coupling agent was investigated. It was found that the 5 phr of 30% mole percent of ENR results in significantly improved mechanical properties of the rubber vulcanizates.

This work was aimed to improve the carbon black from waste tires for printing ink using coupling agent to disperse carbon black particle for making an oil-based offset ink. This experiment used 2 coupling agent these were silane coupling and derivative fatty acid and used to produce offset inks for the 7 formulas. Formula 1 Commercail carbon blackFormula 2 carbon black was not washed by Nitric acid formula 3 carbon black was not washed by Nitric acid and was added silane coupling agent formula 4 carbon black was not washed by Nitric acid and was added fatty acid modified emulsifier formula 5 carbon black was washed by nitric acid formula 6 carbon black was washed by nitric acid and was added silane coupling formula 7 carbon black was washed by nitric acid and was added fatty acid modified emulsifier. Bring all 6 formulas to test property to compare with offset ink commercial. First find the smallest particle of carbon black for 90 minutes. It was found that formula 4 took 20 minutes to make particles 12 micron and it is smalles particle of all. Then measured ink flow by Spread-O-Meter and measured diameter after 1 minute. It was found that formula 3 and 3 were 77 mm. and approximate commercial ink. Then measured tack of ink with Ink-O-Meter it was found that formula 2 3 4 6 and 7 were 2.4 and formula 5 was 2. Then measured viscosity and yield value of ink by Lary viscometer. It was found that formula 2 had 77 poise of ink viscosity and 670 dyne.s/cm2 of ink yield value that was approximate commercial ink. Finally measured Emulsification capacity (%) by Kershaw Water Pick up Tester. It was found that formula 6 had 74% and it was approximate commercial ink.
