Which rubber accelerators are suitable for vulcanization?

Western Reserve Chemical offers a full range of rubber accelerators to increase the speed of the vulcanization of rubber. We supply both primary and secondary accelerators that are suitable for both for natural rubber and synthetic rubber compounds including NR, CR, SBR, NBR, BR, EPDM and chlorobutyl rubber.

What is a rubber accelerator?

Rubber accelerators are substances that increase the speed of vulcanization, a process where rubber becomes more durable through the addition of sulfur at high temperatures. They play a pivotal role in reducing the curing time and improving the efficiency of the vulcanization process.

What types of rubber accelerators do you offer?

We supply both primary and secondary accelerators that are suitable for both for natural rubber and synthetic rubber compounds including NR, CR, SBR, NBR, BR, EPDM and chlorobutyl rubber. We offer a wide range of cure speeds from delayed action to ultra-accelerators. Below is a rubber accelerators list of products that we offer.

What is rubber vulcanization?

Vulcanization is a chemical process that involves treating rubber with sulfur at high temperatures to improve its properties. Rubber accelerators play a crucial role in this process by speeding up the reaction between rubber and sulfur, thus reducing the vulcanization time and making the process more efficient.

Why are accelerators important in the rubber industry?

In the rubber industry, accelerators are crucial for enhancing production efficiency and product quality. They ensure uniform and faster vulcanization, resulting in rubber products that are more durable, resilient, and heat resistant.
