Product Code: MSHQD -AC001-00GT Chemical Name: 2-mercaptobenzothiazole Trade Name: Rubber Accelerator MBT (M) CAS No.: 149-30-4 Molecular Formula: C7H5NS2 Typical Properties: It is yellow granule with little osmyl and taste bitter. The density is 1.42-1.52.it is soluble in ethyl acetate, ethanol, solution of NaOH and Na2CO3, insoluble in benzene, water and gasoline. Lower explosion limit is 21g/m3. Recommended Applications: In NR compounds, MBT based vulcanization systems exhibit less reversion upon overcure than other systems. Vulcanizate obtained with MBT tend to have a relatively low modulus but very good aging properties. To achieve a faster cure and a higher modulus. MBT can be boosted by the use of secondary accelerators, such as ZBEC, ZDEC, TMTD or DPG. For the vulcanization of EPDM or IIR rubbers, MBT is a well established component of many existing vulcanization systems. MBT also finds application in latex form cure systems. It is non-staining and non-discoloring. Information provided by Meyors Chemical INC Limited |
