Use
Mode of action:
Rhenocure TIBTD accelerates the vulcanization of natural and synthetic
rubbers, it also operates as curing agent/sulfur donor. The addition of
mercapto or sulfonamide accelerators decelerates the vulcanization process.
Basic accelerators such as aldehyde amine, guanidine, xanthogenate, or zinc
dithiophosphates (Rhenogran ZAT-70 or Rhenogran ZADT-50) have an
additional activating effect. Rhenocure TIBTD is used as a primary accelerator
in the presence of sulfur, as a secondary accelerator with thiazoles and
sulfenamide amongst others, as well as vulcanizing agent in low-sulfur
crosslinking systems. It produces reversion persistent vulcanizates with good
aging characteristics.
Processing:
Because of its limited addition of inorganic dispersants Rhenocure TIBTD is a
free-flowing dipping of tetraisobutyl thiuram disulfide without tendency to
agglutinate. Due to the low melting point of the active ingredient a fast
adsorption and an excellent dispersion is provided.
Dosage:
As primary or secondary accelerator or as sulfur donor 0.1-4.0 phr, depending
on application
Application:
Particularly suitable for heat and reversion resistant rubber goods in EV and
semi-EV crosslinking systems; cable sheathing and insulation, profiles, hoses,
molded articles and solid rubber
Packaging
25 kg carton with PE bag inside on 600 kg skid
