  • 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.
  • Is MBT a vulcanization accelerator?
  • As a vulcanization accelerator in the rubber industry, MBT may be discharged into the atmosphere in the form of particles during the processing of substances. MBT emission in the air around workplaces has been reported with older, eastern European plants; however, no quantitative data are available.
  • Is MBT a sensitiser?
  • MBT is a potent contact allergen which is considered to be the main allergen involved in rubber allergy. MBT was shown to be a sensitiser in a human maximisation test. In several large studies of patients from various countries, 2-5% of the study population exhibited sensitisation to MBT.
  • What is the maximum acceptable toxicant concentration (MATC) of 2 mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT)?
  • The mean weight at the 380 ug/L level was 1.1582 g which was significantly reduced as compared to controls. The Maximum Acceptable Toxicant Concentration (MATC) was estimated to be greater than 41 ug/L and less than 78 ug/L.
