Abstract
Disclosed is a guide lug composition for a rubber track comprising 5 to 40 parts by weight of a fatty acid amide based on 100 parts by weight of a raw rubber material; or comprising 5 to 40 parts by weight of a Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE) powder based on 100 parts by weight of a raw rubber material; or comprising 5 to 40 parts by weight of a fatty acid amide and 5 to 40 parts by weight of a UHMW-PE power based on 100 parts by weight of a raw rubber material. The guide lug composition serves to reduce abrasion of or damages to a guide lug, to improve the characteristics in preventing the rubber track from slipping off a wheel, which is called "detracking", to reduce friction loss when the guide lug contacts and collides with the wheel thereby reducing energy losses.
