Abstract
Abstract The reaction involving diphenylmethane, sulfur and 2,2′-benzothiazoIyl disulfide is summarized as follows. A. The reaction products and material balance among them are indicated. B. A reaction mechanism was decided upon. C. The rate equation for MBTS consumption was derived from the above mechanism and the results interpreted satisfactorily. The activation energy for thermal dissociation of 2,2′-benzothiazolyl disulfide was found to be 32.7 kcal/mole. D. The accelerating efficiency of this accelerator was defined, discussed and evaluated. These studies are being continued and further communications on the studies of accelerators in the presence of zinc oxide or zinc soap will appear in the near future.
