6、des:3.1.1 As a group, the 2-benzothiazyl sulfenamides are theprinciple sulfur vulcanization accelerators used in the rubberindustry today. The role of these materials in vulcanization isdual. They provide scorch time (delay period) in the crosslink-ing or vulcanization operation at processing temper

7、atures. Thedelay avoids premature crosslinking during the processing, forexample, mixing, extrusion, etc. Once the mixed rubber is atthe curing temperature, these materials promote a rapid rate ofcuring (crosslinking, vulcanization).3.1.2 The presence of certain impurities in this class ofmaterials

8、can affect their performance characteristics.3.1.3 The 2-benzothiazyl sulfenamides are subject to deg-radation on extended storage. Significance degradation canaffect their performance characteristics. In particular, the qual-ity of the material is a function of storage time, temperature,relative hu

9、midity, and the impurity profile of the material; forexample, free amines, salts of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, etc.Since sulfenamide degradation in storage is an autocatalyticprocess (degradation products accelerate further degradation),significant degradation may only occur after a long inductionperi

10、od.3.2 Class 2, ThiazolesThiazole derivatives are versatilevulcanization accelerators that are widely used in the rubberindustry either alone or in combination with other accelerators.3.3 Class 3, GuanidinesThe guanidines have little impor-tance as primary vulcanization accelerators, except for thic

11、k-sectioned goods, because of a typically slow vulcanization rate.As secondary accelerators they are used with other acceleratorsof the thiazole class. These resulting combinations vulcanizefaster and give higher levels of vulcanization than do theirindividual constituents when used separately. The

12、thiazole-guanidine combinations are frequently used for technicalrubber goods.3.4 Class 4, DithiocarbamatesVulcanization with dithio-carbamates is faster than with thiurams. Dithiocarbamates areused as ultra accelerators with normal sulfur levels. They arealso employed as secondaries or activators f

13、or other accelera-tors.3.5 Class 5, Thiurams (disulfides)Thiuram disulfide ac-celerators are used for vulcanization without elemental sulfurto produce rubber compounds that show essentially no rever-sion and that have low compression set and good agingcharacteristics. For low sulfur vulcanization, t

Basis of Classification4.1 The accelerators are divided into six classes accordingto their chemical structure and application in the rubberindustry. They are as follows:4.1.1 Class 1S

Basic Description of Accelerators5.1 SulfenamidesCompounds designated as2-benzothiazyl sulfenamides vary in chemical nature

21、 andgeneral performance characteristics depending on the nature ofsubstitution around the sulfenamide nitrogen. The sulfenamidenitrogen is the nitrogen atom that is outside of the ring in thestructures given below. There are three fundamental types incommon use, as follows:5.1.1 Sulfenamides of Prim

22、ary Amines (Type I)Thesecompounds have one hydrogen on the sulfenamide nitrogen, inaddition to the generic R group. In general, this type, as agroup, exhibits a somewhat shorter scorch time and higher curerate than the other sulfenamides (see Fig. 1).5.1.2 Sulfenamides of Unhindered Secondary Amines

23、 (TypeII)These compounds have two primary carbon attachments,each with at least two hydrogens on the carbon bonded to thesulfenamide nitrogen. In this case, X can be one or two. Thistype, as a group, exhibits an intermediate scorch time and curerate (see Fig. 2).5.1.3 Sulfenamides of Hindered Second

24、ary Amines (TypeIII)These compounds have two secondary carbon attach-ments to the sulfenamide nitrogen. This type, as a group,exhibits a longer scorch time and lower cure rate than the othersulfenamides (see Fig. 3).5.2 ThiazolesThere are three different thiazoles in com-mon use. They all show a sim

26、 two different types of guani-dines in common use. They both show a similar vulcanizationefficiency.5.3.1 Symmetric (Type I):5.3.1.1 Diphenylguanidine (DPG)See Fig. 7.5.3.1.2 Di-Ortho-Tolylguanidine (DOTG)See Fig. 8.5.3.2 Asymmetric (Type II), Ortho-Tolylbignanidine(OTBG)See Fig. 9.5.4 Dithiocarbama

Composition and Properties6.1 The following properties of the accelerator

32、s are judgedto be most significant in terms of their performance in rubber.The control of these properties is important in maintainingconsistent end-product performance.6.2 Initial Melting PointA determination of the initialmelting point shall be done in accordance with Test MethodD1519. The initial

33、 melting point can be an indication ofrelative purity of the accelerator. If the accelerator containssignificant levels of other materials that are mutually soluble inthe accelerator, a significant lowering of the melting pointoccurs. For example, this occurs when the sulfenamide hasundergone apprec

34、iable degradation, as discussed in 4.1.3.Many inorganic impurities and certain high molecular weight,highly crystalline, or polar organic molecules, or both, may notdepress the initial melting point significantly. Consequently,the melting point is not an absolute indicator of purity (notapplicable t

35、o all dithiocarbamates since some of them melt attemperatures over 300C).6.3 Wet Sieve TestThis test is only important for materialswith melting points that are higher than the rubber compoundmixing temperatures. To efficiently accelerate vulcanization,the accelerator must disperse uniformly in the

36、rubber duringmixing and dissolve at vulcanization temperatures. For highmelting accelerators, this requires a relatively fine and easilydispersed physical form. A wet screen test is an indication ofthis property. The test cannot be used, however, with physicalforms other than powders.6.4 Percent Ash

37、A determination of the amount of non-combustibles shall be conducted in accordance with a modifi-cation of Test Method D4574. Inorganic materials (ash) areoccasional contaminants in vulcanization accelerators, andthey may cause problems since they ordinarily will not dissolvein rubbers. Transition m

38、etals such as iron, copper, andmanganese, especially in soluble form, may have a detrimentaleffect on the oxidative stability of the rubber (not applicable todithiocarbamates, which are metal salts).6.5 Percent Loss on HeatingA measure of the amount ofheat loss of the accelerator shall be conducted

39、in accordancewith a modification of Test Method D4571. The heat loss of theaccelerators (except sulfenamides) is nearly identical with themoisture content. Excess moisture in a rubber mixture mayFIG. 8 Di-Ortho-Tolyl Guanidine (DOTG)FIG. 9 Ortho-Tolyl Biguanidine (OTBG)FIG. 10 Dipentamethylene Thiur

40、am Disulphide (DPTD)D4818 89 (2017)3cause problems during vulcanization since water is vaporized,which may produce porosity in the cured vulcanizate.6.6 Percent Moisture in SulfenamidesA determination ofmoisture content in sulfenamides is essential, since the degra-dation of sulfenamides in storage,

41、 as discussed in 4.1.3, can becaused by hydrolysis reactions.6.7 Percent Insolubles in SulfenamidesA determination ofinsolubles in sulfenamides is important, since 2-benzothiazyldisulfide (MBTS) may be present in benzothiazole sulfenamideaccelerators as a by-product of the manufacturing process or a

42、sa result of benzothiazole sulfenamide degradation as describedin 4.1.3. MBTS is also a vulcanization accelerator. However, ithas much less delay than the sulfenamides, and appreciablelevels of MBTS can cause scorch problems in rubber manu-facturing operations. MBTS is much less soluble in someorgan

43、ic solvents than the sulfenamides, and it can consequentlybe detected by measuring the amount of material that does notdissolve in an appropriate solvent.6.8 AssayA measurement of the amount of the specifiedchemical entity in the accelerator by an assay is required, sincethe purity of the accelerato

44、r can affect vulcanization perfor-mance characteristics, such as scorch time and cure efficiency,as well as storage stability. Not all impurities have equaldetrimental effects on the performance of the accelerator. Atthe present time, there is no single test that measures all of theimpurities.6.8.1

46、nzothiazyl disulfide (MBTS)is important because of the effect of MBT on scorch safety.6.10 Percent Metal ContentA determination of the metalcontent in ZMBT and dithiocarbamates is important. It givesonly a relative indication of the content of active matter, sincesmall quantities of free metal salts

47、 are invariably present asimpurities in the accelerator.6.11 DispersibilityA determination of the dispersibility ina rubber compound is essential, since the accelerators, both inpowder or pellet form, must disperse uniformly in a rubbercompound to achieve optimal vulcanization.ASTM International tak
