  • 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.
  • 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 ].
  • Can MBT cause cancer?
  • The IARC Monographs evaluation is a hazard classification. It indicates the strength of the evidence that MBT can cause cancer. The probability of developing a cancer will depend on factors such as the type and extent of exposure and the strength of the effect of the agent.
