  • What is accelerator in rubber vulcanization?
  • An accelerator is defined as the chemical added into a rubber compound to increase the speed of vulcanization and to permit vulcanization to proceed at lower temperature and with greater efficiency. Accelerator also Decreases the Quantity of Sulphur necessary for vulcanization and thus improving 'aged' properties of the rubber vulcanizates.
  • What vulcanization system is used for natural rubber?
  • Both discovered the use of Sulfur and White Lead as a vulcanization system for Natural Rubber. This discovery was a major technological breakthrough for the advancement of the world economy. Vulcanization of rubbers by sulfur alone is an extremely slow and inefficient process.
  • 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.
  • Which elastomers can be vulcanized?
  • Certain elastomers such as chloroprene can be vulcanized by the action of metal oxides such as zinc oxide as well as sulfur. As a result, several of the same accelerators that are used with sulfur vulcanization systems can be used with zinc oxide/neoprene systems. Because there are so many, accelerators are generally classified by chemical family.
