This rubber vulcanization accelerator is used as a
chemical in the rubber industry, especially in the
production of synthetic rubber articles. Is contained in
the "mercapto mix". As a corrosion inhibitor, it can be
found in cutting fluids or in releasing fluids in the
pottery industry. It induces mainly delayed-type
hypersensitivity, but a case of immediate-type hypersensitivity
was reported in a dental assistant.
Buff to brown flakes; sweet odor. Insoluble in water; solublein benzene, acetone, methanol.
Delayed-action vulcanization accelerator.
This rubber vulcanization accelerator belongs to the
mercaptobenzothiazole-sulfenamide group. It is used
