MBTS

MBTS is a widely used accelerator in the rubber industry, particularly favored for formulations that require stable vulcanization and reduced risk of pre-vulcanization or scorching, which can compromise the quality of the final rubber product.

MBTS is a pale yellow powder, odorless, non-toxic, and suitable for both natural and synthetic rubbers. It disperses easily, reacts safely, and is considered a suitable choice for rubber compounds that aim to minimize environmental impact during production.

Physical Characteristics:

• Color: Pale yellow powder
• Odor and taste: Non-toxic but has a bitter taste
• Stability: Stable when stored in dry and cool conditions

Solubility:

• Soluble in: Chloroform
• Partially soluble in: Benzene, ethanol, carbon tetrachloride
• Insoluble in: Water, gasoline, ethyl alcohol

Usage Recommendation:
To prevent pre-vulcanization, it is recommended to use MBTS in combination with Retarder PX, AK, or SAFE for increased safety and flexibility in processing.

Product Features:

• Compatible with both white and colored rubber without causing scorch marks
• Helps reduce pollution in the production process
• Acts as an antioxidant, delaying rubber degradation
• Mild reactivity, suitable for general rubber formulations

Industrial Applications:

• Automotive tires and inner tubes
• Footwear manufacturing
• General molded rubber products
• Not recommended for food-contact rubber products due to its bitter taste
