Rubber Accelerator List
Subsulfonamide accelerators are the fastest-growing accelerators at present. The length of scorch time and the speed of vulcanization of sub-sulfonamide accelerators depend on the nature of the amine in the accelerator molecule. The stronger the alkalinity of the amine, the faster the vulcanization speed; the greater the spatial obstruction of the amine, the longer the scorching time, and the sulfur speed decreases.
It is a kind of late-acting accelerator derived from 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (accelerator M) as the parent. Compared with thiazole accelerators, the cooking time is long, the processing safety is high, and the physical and mechanical properties of vulcanized rubber and ageing resistance are outstanding, so it is one of the types of rubber accelerators with the largest production and consumption, the most varieties and the widest application. The main varieties include N-tert-butyl-2-benzothiazole subsulfonamide (NS), N-cyclohexyl-2-benzothiazole subsulfonamide (CZ), N, N; dicyclohexyl-2-benzothiazole subsulfonamide (DZ), N-oxydiethylidene-2-benzothiazole subsulfonamide (NOBS) and N-oxydiethylidene-thiocarbamoyl-N´-oxydiethylidene-subsulfonamide (OTOS), etc.

RAYWAY™ Rubber Accelerator MBD
This product is used as an after-effect accelerator for rubber and also as a vulcanizing agent and can be used in NR, IR, BR, SBR, NBR, and EPDM. As a vulcanizing agent, it is similar to TMTD use and can be used for sulfur-free yellow vulcanization. The physical properties and ageing resistance of vulcanization are basically no different from TMTD, and there is no need to worry about premature vulcanization compared with TMTD.
The thiuram-type accelerator is a widely used vulcanization accelerator in rubber products. It includes monosulfide, disulfide and polysulfide. Among them, the disulfide and polysulfide thiuram are easy to release active sulfur under the conventional vulcanization temperature, so the rubber can be vulcanized without adding sulfur yellow, which is called “sulfur-free vulcanization”. The vulcanization accelerator with disulfide thiuram is mostly used as Tetramethyl Thiuram Disulfide (TMTD), Tetraethyl Thiuram Disulfide (TETD), etc. Tetra-methyl thiuram monosulfide (TMTM) and tetramethyl thiuram disulfide (TMTD) are good-performance vulcanization accelerators for rubber, but in recent years, it has been found that they produce amine nitrite during vulcanization, so new types of vulcanization accelerators with better performance and no carcinogenic substances are actively developed. Tetrabenzyl thiuram disulfide (TBzTD) is one of the rubber accelerator thiuram products, which is an efficient and green vulcanization accelerator suitable for natural rubber, p-butyl rubber, isoamyl rubber, butadiene rubber, nitrile rubber, butyl rubber, EPDM rubber and latex, its vulcanization promotion effect is similar to TMTD, the vulcanization speed is slightly inferior to TMTD, but the stability is better than TMTD, and it is widely used in the manufacture of wire and cable, tires, tapes It is widely used in the manufacture of wire and cable, tire, tape, colouring transparent products, footwear, heat-resistant products, etc. It does not produce carcinogenic nitrosamines and is a green, safe, environmentally friendly and efficient rubber vulcanization accelerator, which can replace TMTD, and TETD, with better processing safety and longer scorching time. TBzTD has a large molecular weight, and a high melting point and is not easy to decompose, so it does not produce carcinogenic nitrosamines and has become a new type of vulcanization accelerator with great development potential. TiBTM is a multi-functional and environment-friendly new type of accelerator with the performance of both a rubber vulcanization accelerator and an anti-coke agent, and it is the best substitute for TMTM (tetramethyl thiuram monosulfide). In the SBR/natural rubber system, when TiBTM and CTP are used with TBBS and CBS respectively, the two anti-coking agents have the same degree of delay in coking, and TiBTM can also make the vulcanization speed significantly faster, while CTP can sometimes cause a decrease in vulcanization speed. In natural rubber, the anti-coking effect of CTP is better than TiBTM, but TiBTM can increase the resistance of the rubber to vulcanization reversion, TiBTM is mainly used as a co-promoter. For SBR or natural rubber, either increasing the vulcanization temperature, changing the amount of sulfur or adding silica will not affect the performance of TiBTM which can both increase the scorch safety and vulcanization rate, and the use of accelerator TiBTM has no adverse effect on the physical properties of vulcanized rubber.

The guanidine accelerator is the more used at this stage in the partial alkali accelerator. The natural rubber and styrene-butadiene rubber medium-speed accelerator. When guanidine accelerators are applied independently, the vulcanization development is late, the practical safety factor is large, and the storage reliability of the blended rubber is good, but the vulcanization speed is relatively slow (one time slower than that of sub-sulfur fluorobenzene accelerators). The characteristics of guanidine accelerator vulcanized rubber are increased vulcanization degree, resulting in high strength and high fixed extension ground stress. However, there are many polysulfide bonds and more cyclic compounds in the vulcanized rubber, which makes the vulcanized rubber poorly resistant to high-temperature embrittlement, easy to crack and shrink the deformation. In addition, these accelerators have colour loss and pollution and are not suitable for milky white products. Because of the slow vulcanization speed and poor high-temperature brittleness resistance, guanidine accelerators are generally not applied independently but are used as the second accelerator of thiazoles and sub-sulfur fluorobenzenes. It is used in the production of rubber sheets, shoe soles, bicycle tires, industrial products, thick products, and hard rubber products, and the rubber material with guanidine as the second accelerator is suitable for all vulcanization methods. However, when used as the first accelerator, its vulcanization starting point is so late that it can not be used for warm air vulcanization in general.

Care should be taken when improving reversion resistance to achieve a good balance between scorch safety and reversion resistance. Non-frosting and non-discolouring, it can be used in translucent fast vulcanising natural rubber sole formulations. ZDTP has an amine-free structure and can be used in nitrosamines-free vulcanisation systems without causing discolouration and without contamination.
①Vulcanized rubber type. Different vulcanized rubber choose different vulcanization management system, different vulcanization management system of course contains different indeed accelerator type pairing.
②Coking performance. The accelerator plays a fundamental role in the scorching time of the rubber (i.e. the time lasting before the hot vulcanization of the rubber starts). Therefore, the accelerator should be selected in order to have a very good scorching time of the rubber, which is effective for the actual operating safety factor of the rubber in the whole process of compounding, injection, pressing out or injection, the flow of the rubber before vulcanization and the adhesion to the textile. Especially in the recent past, in order to improve productivity, production standards have become more stringent and the burn resistance of rubber has become more and more demanding. However, too long scorch time increases the total vulcanization time, which is not only detrimental to labour productivity but also negatively affects the deformation of the mould-free vulcanized product during the entire vulcanization process. The anti-scorch performance of the accelerator is immediately related to the critical pressure of the vulcanization (i.e., the temperature at which the accelerator becomes effective for the entire vulcanization process), where the accelerator activity is not significant; above this temperature, the accelerator is active and fully utilizes its vulcanization effectiveness. Unfortunately, most accelerators do not measure this temperature. When a variety of accelerators are applied in conjunction with each other, the activity of some accelerators suffers suppression, and some accelerators show great activity even below their critical pressure.
③Vulcanization flatness. The accelerator should have an open vulcanization flatness graph in the vulcanization period, that is to say, the performance of vulcanized rubber should not show significant transformation in this period, which is very critical for vulcanized rubber thick products and solid core products. Vulcanized rubber is a quasi-stable state of heat, the surface layer of vulcanized rubber and internal heat conditions are not consistent, open vulcanization flatness is to prevent over-sulfur and to ensure that each part of the product is vulcanized uniformly.
④Harm to the performance of blending and vulcanizing rubber. Accelerator in the vulcanization period to participate in the vulcanization of rubber indoor space porous structure, the structure of the vulcanized rubber, that is, the physics of mechanical equipment performance and embrittlement properties have immediate relevance. Some accelerators have a softening effect on the blended rubber, which increases the plasticity of the rubber and changes the production and processing performance of the rubber. Therefore, the use of accelerators to master this characteristic is necessary.
⑤ Permeability. The accelerator which is not well dispersed in the rubber material must not only have a long mixing time, which will increase the driving power consumption of the machine and equipment but also usually has uneven mixing and uneven vulcanization of the product.
