1 Vulcanization & Accelerators Vulcanization is a cross linking process in which individual molecules of rubber (polymer) are converted into a three dimensional network of interconnected (polymer) chains through chemical cross links(of sulfur). The Vulcanization process was discovered in 1839 and the individuals responsible for this discovery were Charles Goodyear in USA and Thomas Hancock in England. Both discovered the use of Sulfur and White Lead as a Vulcanization system for Natural Rubber. This discovery was a major technological breakthrough for the advancement of the world economy. Vulcanization of rubbers by sulfur alone is an extremely slow and inefficient process.
Crosslink density Higher at equal dosage (DCBS < MOR < CBS < TBBS) Sulfenamide accelerators have limited storage stability and the rate of degradation is greatly influenced by storage conditions such as humidity & heat and hence, is used on a strictly first infirst out basis.-
