RUBBER ACCELERATOR ZMBT SPECIFICATIONS
Chemical Name : Zinc 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (ZMBT, MZ)
Molecular Formula :
Characteristics: Pale yellow powder, with a slight bitter taste. The specific gravity is 1.65-1.72. It is almost insoluble in acetone, benzene, ethanol, and carbon tetrachloride. It is insoluble in water and gasoline. It decomposes in strong acidic and alkaline environments.
Application: Used for NR, IR, SBR, NBR, EPDM, and latex. It can be considered as an intermediate between URCC M and URCC DM. It is used as a secondary accelerator together with URCC PZ and URCC EZ. It has similar performance to M in dry rubber applications. It has a slightly shorter burn time and provides processing safety. Suitable for mold curing. Many rubber compounds require zinc oxide and stearic acid as activators. It disperses easily in rubber and provides non-staining and non-discoloring products. Typically used in the production of latex products, foam rubber, latex-coated gloves, etc.
Storage: Keep the container tightly closed, store in a cool and well-ventilated place. The recommended maximum shelf life is 2 years under normal storage conditions.
