  • Is CBS a rubber accelerator?
  • Almost all rubber compounds on the market contain rubber accelerator as CBS in a wide range of products, but it is difficult to know which rubber product contain which rubber accelerants. Therefore the use of CBS in consumer product cannot be ruled out completely.
  • Does CBS affect the processing of rubber goods?
  • Due to the resulting low concentration of CBS, a considerable exposure to CBS during the processing of rubber goods is not expected. Therefore, the processing of rubber, e.g. cutting, melting, is not considered in this report. Occupational exposure limits for CBS have not been established in Western Europe and USA.
  • What vulcanizing agent is used in rubber?
  • Elemental sulfur is the predominant vulcanizing agent for general-purpose rubbers. It is used in combination with one or more accelerators and an activator system comprising zinc oxide and a fatty acid (normally stearic acid). The most popular accelerators are delayed-action sulfenamides, thiazoles, thiuram sulfides, dithocarbamates and guanidines.
  • How much air is released from a generic rubber manufacturing site?
  • Releases to air from a generic rubber manufacturing site have been estimated according to OECD emission scenario document to be 31 kg/day expressed as unreacted CBS. It is noted, that the major part of this amount is expected to be released in form of breakdown products.
