  • 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.
  • What is the role of accelerator in vulcanization?
  • Accelerator also Decreases the Quantity of Sulphur necessary for vulcanization and thus improving 'aged' properties of the rubber vulcanizates. Accelerators are also classified as Primary and / or Secondary accelerators based on the role they play in a given compound.
  • How is rubber vulcanized?
  • Vulcanization of rubbers by sulfur alone is an extremely slow and inefficient process. The chemical reaction between sulfur and the Rubber Hydrocarbon occurs mainly at the C = C (double bonds) and each crosslink requires 40 to 55 sulphur atoms (in the absence of accelerator).
  • How do I select a vulcanizing accelerator?
  • The selection of an accelerator will depend on the specific vulcanizing system and curing properties. Explore the classification of accelerators, the checklist to select the right accelerator based on the specific vulcanizing systems and curing properties.
