  • What is 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) vulcanization accelerator?
  • 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) is one of the most important vulcanization accelerators in the industrial production of rubber, especially car tires. Given its wide use in household articles and industrial rubber products it has a high potential to migrate into the environment. Humans can be exposed by dermal, oral, or inhalative routes.

  • Anyone you share the following link with will be able to read this content: Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) is one of the most important vulcanization accelerators in the industrial production of rubber, especially car tires.
  • Who is exposed to MBT?
  • In the studies evaluated by the IARC Monographs Working Group, exposure to high amounts of MBT in humans occurred in workers in the chemical industry, but workers in the rubber or tyre-manufacturing industries may also be exposed to MBT.
  • How much MBT is found in a urine sample?
  • MBT was found in only one urine sample from the unexposed humans, at a value of 10.8 μg MBT per liter, whereas it was found in all samples from the tested workers at values of up to 6210 μg MBT per liter. 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT, benzothiazole-2-thiol, CAS 149-30-4) was introduced to rubber production in the late 1940s [ 1 ].
