  • What is 2 mercaptobenzothiazole?
  • What is 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole? 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) is an industrial chemical that is used principally in the manufacture of rubber. What were the results of the IARC Monographs evaluation of MBT?
  • Is 2 mercaptoben-zothiazole a rubber additive?
  • Rapid and sensitive LC-MS-MS determination of 2-mercaptobenzothi-azole, a rubber additive, in human urine. Anal Bioanal Chem, 407(12):3417–23. doi:10.1007/s00216-015-8533-5 PMID:25701422 GuideChem (2015). CAS No. 149-30-4 (2-mercaptoben-zothiazole (MBT)).
  • How much mercaptobenzothiazole is produced in the USA?
  • The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) noted that 500 000–1 000 000 pounds/year [~227–454 tonnes/year] of 2-mercaptobenzothi-azole were produced, imported, and used in the USA in 2012 (EPA, 2012). In 2012, three facili-ties in three states were listed as manufacturing 2-mercaptobenzothiazole in the USA (HSDB, 2015).
  • Where is 2-mercaptobenzothiazole made?
  • 2-mercaptobenzothiazole in the USA (HSDB, 2015). 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole is registered with the European Chemicals Agency, and prod-uction was stated to be 1000–10 000 tonnes per year from three manufacturers in three coun-tries, one each in Belgium, Spain, and the United Kingdom (ECHA, 2012).
  • What is 2-mercaptobenzothiazole used for?
  • 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole is principally used as a reactant in the manufacture of rubber prod-ucts, but is also used as a corrosion inhibitor in oils, greases and cooling fluids. It is added to polyether polymers as a stabilizer to resist damage by air and ozone, and is a component approved in the USA in some skin medications for dogs (HSDB, 2015).
  • Is 2-mercaptobenzothiazole toxic?
  • No other permissible limits were found (GESTIS, 2015). The Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) designation of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole is H317, “may cause an allergic skin reaction” and H410 “very toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting efects” (ECHA, 2015).
