Applications
Uses: Fast curing primary accelerator with good scorch safety suitable for use in most polymers. Best results are obtained with a combination of MBTS as the primary accelerator and thiuram, dithiocarbamate or guanidine accelerators as boosters. MBTS can be used as a scorch modifying secondary accelerator with sulfenamides in natural rubber and synthetic elastomers. Used as a retarder and plasticizer in CR. MBTS can safely be used to produce non-discoloring
and non-staining rubber products. It is particularly recommended for rubber to metal bonded products.

Polymers: Natural rubber and most synthetic elastomers.

Synergism: MBTS cure performance can be boosted with thiuram, dithiocarbamate or
guanidine accelerators.

Cure Effect: Promotes a flat moderately fast cure rate. Similar in performance to MBT but
provides much greater scorch safety.

Crosslink Type: MBTS promotes a balance of mono-, di- and poly-sulfidic crosslinks resulting in vulcanizates with a good balance between heat aging resistance and tear resistance.
