  • How vulcanization accelerator is used in rubber goods manufacture?
  • CBS is exclusively used as vulcanization accelerator in rubber goods manufacture. Vulcanization transforms the rubber from the thermoplastic into the elastomeric state at temperatures between 150 and 200 °C. CBS is loaded to the rubber in concentrations of 0.5– 1% (ww) but it breaks down during the curing process.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Does rubber industry emit vulcanisation agents?
  • In rubber industry, no releases of vulcanisation agents to the surface waters occur. Consequently, no risks for aquatic environment are expected. This conclusion covers also the exposure of soil for the CBS production and rubber industry (emissions to air). Conclusion (i on hold) There is a need for further information and/or testing.
