What is rubber antioxidant TMQ TDQ Rd?

Rubber Antioxidant TMQ, TQ, TDQ, RD: It is a very important category of rubber antioxidants. It has a good powerful effect on heat, oxygen, and fatigue aging.

Are rubber antioxidants harmful?

As shown in Table 1, many commonly used rubber antioxidants are damaging to human health and the environment. For example, the antioxidant MB (2-mercaptobenzimidazole), which is widely used in the manufacture of light-colored rubber products, is harmful to aquatic organisms and has a continuous effect.

What are the future trends of rubber antioxidants?

The perspectives on the future trends of rubber antioxidants have been presented. Elastomers, especially diene-rubbers containing unsaturated double carbon bonds in the main chains, are vulnerable to thermal/oxygen aging, which would make the elastomers less elastic and result in earlier failure of the elastomer products.

Which antioxidants are used in rubber vulcanization?

The amine and phenolic antioxidants are the most widely used rubber antioxidants (Fig. 1 b and c). Generally, the phenolic antioxidants have poor antioxidative efficiency (compared to amine antioxidants) and they can delay vulcanization, but they cause little discoloration problems.

Why do we need antioxidants for rubber composites?

Therefore, for a real application, the antioxidants are indispensable to retard the thermal-oxidative-aging process of the rubber composites and then prolong the service life. In this review, we systematically review the recent progress of antioxidants for rubber.

Are rubber antioxidants a rational design?

The development of medical antioxidants also inspires the rational design of rubber antioxidants. Recently, Sun, et al. synthesized a novel antioxidant (APPT) containing aromatic amine, thiourea and allyl groups by the reaction between N-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine and allyl isothiocyanate (Fig. 3 b) .
