Abstract
The effect of accelerator type on the vulcanization process and mechanical properties of nitrile rubber (NBR) compounds was investigated. Three commercial accelerators were selected, N-N-t-butyl-2-benzothiazole sulfenamide (TBBS), tetramethylthiuram disulfide (TMTD) and bis(dimethyldithiocarbamato)zinc (II) (ZDMC) and compared with the compound bis(4 methylphenylsulfonyldithiocarbimato)zincate (II) (ZNIBU). Surprisingly, it was found that the optimum vulcanization time for ZNIBU showed better results than for TBBS.
