These are used to increase mastication efficiency by increasing the rate of molecular breakdown, particularly in natural rubber. Normally less than 0.5 phr are used, but higher dosages are required for synthetic rubber. As sulfur inhibits their action, these are normally added before mastication. Zinc salt of pentachlorothiophenol and di-o-benzamidophenyl disulfide are commonly used as peptisers in lining compounds.

The material may be transferred from the accumulator of the patented in-line compounding system into the center gate area either manually or via robotics. The unique integrity of the material preform that is loaded into the part makes both methods viable.
