Description
Dibenzothiazyl disulfide is a rubber chemical used as a
vulcanization accelerant. The most frequent occupational
categories are metal industry, homemakers,
health services and laboratories, and building industries.
Chemical Properties
yellow amorphous powder
Uses
Dibenzothiazyl disulfide is an accelerator for natural rubber, nitrile-butadiene, butyl and styrene-butadiene rubber; a retarder for chloroprene rubber.
Uses
2,2’Dibenzothiazoyl Disulfide has the potential to combat HPV, acting as a zinc-ejecting inhibitor. It also can act as radical polymerization photo-initiators or co-initiators.
Definition
ChEBI: An organic disulfide resulting from the formal oxidative coupling of the thiol groups of two molecules of 1,3-benzothiazole-2-thiol. It is used as an accelerator in the rubber industry.
