Abstract

Abstract These results confirm the validity of our theory of thiuram-accelerated sulfur vulcanization supposing that ZnDMDC arising from TMTD and zinc oxide is the actual accelerator in this type of curing system. The formation of ZnDMDC from TMTD during the curing process affects particularly the slow crosslinking reaction. Therefore, the activation energy of slow crosslinking is in very good accordance with the activation energy of TMTD decrease, and its value differs significantly from the activation energies of fast crosslinking and degradation. Simultaneously, these facts answer the question why the shape of the cure curves depends strongly on the temperature of cure.
