Dibenzothiazyl Disulphide
MP is approx. 1700C. Soluble in benzene, carbon
tetrachloride acetone etc. It activates basic accelerators and
when used small quantities as an additional accelerator
with thiurams and dithiocarbamates it delays the onset of
cure. It acts as retarder in PCP Compound.
ZINC MERKAPTO BENZOTHIAZOLE
ZMBT speed is same as MBT. Does not bloom on uncured
stock. Yellow powder. MP 3200c accompanied by
decomposition. Not easily soluble in ethyl alcohol, ethyl,
acetate, benzene. Used mainly in latex compounds.
Activates basic accelerators. The compression modulus of
the foam is improved by adding this accelerator.
SULPHENAMIDES
All the above accelerators have got better scorch safety than
CBS. They are primarily used in tyre compounds. DCBS is
safest in the lot and used in tread rubber, radial tyre
compounds. The storage of such accelerator is poor as such
one has to see that stock should not be kept for more than
½ months.

SULPHENAMIDE
TMTD give off about 13% its weight and tetron a about 27 %
its weight of sulphur in atomic form which combines with
rubber to give monosulphidic stable x – links. Excellent heat
ageing properties at high temperature. 0.1-0.2 phr. Sulphur
addition helps to achieve tight cure and better compression
set.

Reduction in sulphur levels with increase in accelerator

3. PHOSPHITES (RO)3 P
The amine antioxidants constitute the more important group.
They are strong protective agents but discolour and stain to
various degrees. The phenolic are less effective but are
essentially non discolouring and non-staining. The phosphites
are stabalisers for SBR.

A/os has little or no effect in case of butyl, hypalon, EPDM.
Silicon can be made little bit more heat resistance by
adding metal oxide. ( T1 O2 FE203 ). in case or NR,
polyisoprene over vulcanisation is very detrimental for
subsequent oxygen ageing. It is always better to have opt.
Cure or slightly under vulcanisation for these rubber . in
NR, SBR, NBR rubber thiuram cures will give best heat
resistance to the vulcanisate due to monosulphidic x- link.
The other reason is most of the thiuram gets converated
into dithiocarbmate. In presence of sulphur
dithiocarbmates acts as acclerator for rubber vulcanisation.
In absence of sulphur the dithiocarbamate acts as good
a/o. As such in thiurm cures without sulphur. The
dithiocarbamate protects the vulcanizates against heat.

8.Can not use for hot air cure as oxidation takes place.
9.Strong smell which gives intoxic effects.
Model Question and Answer
B) DCBS bond energy is higher and it takes longer time to convert to MBT + aniline.
D) Synthetic rubber namely SBR, NBR are very slow curing polymer. To improve the
cure it is absolutely necessary to increase the dosage of accelerator.
G) The mooney viscosity of natural rubber varies from 90 – 130. It is necessary to bring down
the molecular weight of NR and make rubber plastic.
SBR, NBR are man made synthetic rubbers and viscosity of such rubber is made as per
requirement of application. Hence it is not possible to reduce the viscosity of such rubbers by
mastication.
