Abstract

The invention relates to a process for the preparation of finely divided rubbers (rubber powders) by precipitation from aqueous mixtures, which comprise filler in the form of suspensions, water-soluble salts of a metal of groups IIa, IIb, IIIa and VIII of the periodic table of the elements arid a rubber latex (polymer latex), aqueous emulsions of a rubber or rubber solution, in which one or more organosilicon compound(s) containing at least one alkoxy group is or are dissolved or emulsified, optionally in the presence of a surface-active substance, in water, or the compounds mentioned are mixed directly, optionally with a surface-active substance, with an aqueous suspension of an oxidic or silicatic finely divided filler or a mixture of these fillers at a temperature of 10 to 60.degree. C., preferably at room temperature, while stirring, the amount of this mixture envisaged for incoporation in the rubber, based on the filler content, in general being divided into two batches.
