What is accelerator DPG?

Accelerator DPG is useful as an accelerator/activator for natural rubber, SBR and NBR. It activates accelerators such as MBT, MBTS and sulfenamides. It is a strong secondary for CBTS, BBTS, OBTS, MBT and MBTS. DPG requires the use of zinc oxide and fatty acids. DPG provides satisfactory processing safety and storage stability to rubber compounds.

Can WESTCO TM DPG be used in latex?

WESTCO ™ DPG can be used in latex as a secondary gelling agent (foam stabilizer) in the silicoflouride foam process.

What is DPG used for?

DPG requires the use of zinc oxide and fatty acids. DPG provides satisfactory processing safety and storage stability to rubber compounds. In light colored goods, it causes a brown discoloration and is not recommended for use in compounds that have contact with food (imparts bitter taste). For best aging results, an antioxidant is required.

What is a rubber accelerator?
