Vulcanising and Curing Agents

The various curing agents used for manufacturing rubber lining compounds are sulfur, organic peroxides, accelerators with available sulfur and metallic oxides. [Pg.48]

Sulfur is available in finely powdered form packed in polyethylene bags. It vastly improves the properties of raw rubber by processing it with sulfur it can be converted into nontacky, tough elastic materials. [Pg.48]

Organic peroxides, like benzoyl peroxide, 2-4, dichlorobenzoyl peroxide, tertiary butyl-perbenzoate are used for natural and synthetic rubbers. [Pg.48]

Accelerators used include hexamine, diphenyl guanidine, ethylidene aniline, mercapto-benzothiazole, dibenzothiazole disulfide, N-Cyclohexyl benzothiazole sulfenamide, sodium diethyl dithiocarbamate, tetramethylthiuram disulfide, tetraethyl thiuram disulfide, dipentamethylene thiuram tetrasulfide, sodium isopropyl xanthate, zinc butyl, [Pg.49]
