Mainly used as an accelerator for natural and synthetic rubber.
Functions as a plasticizer and peptizer in chloroprene rubber.
Provides a foam stabilizing effect in the foaming process of latex.
Used as an activator for thiazole,thiuram,and sulfenamide accelerators;when used in combination with accelerators MBTS and TMTD, it is suitable for continuous vulcanization. It offers good flex resistance and excellent storage stability.
Exhibits higher accelerating activity than DPG, but with a longer scorch time and better processing safety.
Active at vulcanization temperatures,especially above the critical temperature,and has good curing plateau characteristics.
May cause discoloration and is not suitable for white or light-colored products,nor for rubber products that come into contact with food.
Usage level: 1-2 phr as a secondary acceletor;0.1-0.5 phr as a secondary accelerator for thiazoles.
