Product Description: Akroform MBT-75/EPR/P is a polymeric dispersion of 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT). MBT is a very active primary accelerator for use with many synthetic and natural rubbers. MBT is a non-staining, non-discoloring rubber accelerator. Zinc oxide and a fatty acid are general required for optimal vulcanization. For faster cure rates, Akroform MBT-75/EPR/P can be used in combination with a secondary accelerator such as a guanidines, dithiocarbamates or thiurams. MBT is not recommended for use in rubber articles which may have contact with food, because it imparts a bitterness taste. Recommended dosage as a primary accelerator is 1 to 2 phr. Akroform MBT-75/EPR/P is processed through a 150 mesh screen. Advantages: Polymer bound or encapsulated dispersions are a proven means of upgrading plant safety, efficiency, quality & raw material control. Akrochem polymer bound or encapsulated chemical dispersions eliminate any irritating dust, as well as other potential hazards in handling powders in the plant. The physical form is easy to handle and weigh accurately. With a dispersion, better uniformity of the mix at lower processing temperatures is possible. Information provided by Akrochem Corporation |
