What is Westco MBTs accelerator for rubber?

WESTCO™ MBTS accelerator for rubber is a general purpose accelerator for sulfur cures. It is very active above 142°C (287°F). Unlike thiuram disulfides, WESTCO™ MBTS does not split off active sulfur during vulcanization. For use in natural and synthetic rubber processing.

What is MBTs (benzothiazyl disulfide)?

MBTS (Benzothiazyl Disulfide) is a non-staining, primary thiazole accelerator for use in natural and synthetic rubbers. It is very active at temperatures above 280°F. Activation requires the addition of zinc oxide, a fatty acid and sulfur for cure development.

How is MBTs used in a polychloroprene cure system?

Activation requires the addition of zinc oxide, a fatty acid and sulfur for cure development. Secondary accelerators used in conjunction with MBTS such as aldehyde amines, dithiocarbamates, guanidines, and thiurams will increase cure rates. MBTS is also used as a retarder in polychloroprene cure systems, as well as a retarder for peroxide cures.

What is MBTs used for?

MBTS is also used as a retarder in polychloroprene cure systems, as well as a retarder for peroxide cures. Blends of MBTS and BBTS are often employed in tire vulcanization cure systems. MBTS is a safe processing accelerator, but increased scorch resistance can be obtained with the addition of Retarder PX, Retarder AK, or Retarder SAFE.

Can I use MBTs accelerator with TMTD?

To conduct processing safely, it is recommended that MBTS accelerator be used in combination with basic accelerators such as TMTD. Technical Product Sheets and SDS sheets are available for each of the chemicals listed. To access please click on the links above.
