  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 is a thiuram accelerator?
  • The thiuram class comprises accelerators like TMTM, TMTD, TETD, TBzTD, and DPTT. Thiurams are highly efficient accelerators used in the vulcanization of NR, SBR, BR, NBR, and other highly unsaturated rubbers. They are particularly favored as primary accelerators for low-unsaturation rubbers like butyl (IIR) and EPDM, which undergo sulfur curing.
