Abstract
Systems of combined accelerators comprising 2-mercaptobenzothiazol (MBT), dibenzothiazyl disulfide (MBTS), tetramethyl thiuram monosulfide (TMTM) and diphenyl guanidine (DPG) were used to study the physical properties of rubber vulcanizates. The study was conducted by divisioning the work into 3 sets; namely set 1, set 2 and set 3 whereby the combinations of the accelerators were carried out in such a way that only the ratios were subject to changes. We found that there was a synergistic effect on the vulcanizates properties leading to, higher or lower property values from the normally expected ones demonstrating the role of crosslink on tensile modulus, hardness and resilience.
