Mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) chemical is used in the vulcanization of rubber. Using mercaptobenzothiazole, rubber vulcanizes with less sulfur and at milder temperatures. Both factors give a stronger product. Mercaptobenzothiazole is used as a cooling tower biocide. MBT chemical has also been used in the gold-mining industry to “float” the gold from ore residue as part of the extraction process. 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole (also known as Mercaptobenzothiazole) is a Hemi-ultra accelerator extensively used in the vulcanization of natural and synthetic rubbers. It is mainly used to manufacture rubber tires, rubber belts, rubber shoes, and other technical rubber goods. In addition, 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole is also used to prepare pesticide fungicides, nitrogenous fertilizer synergists, cutting oil and lubricating additives, photographic chemistry in the machine anti ash agent, metal corrosion inhibitors, etc. It is also a reagent used in chemical analysis. This product is an effective copper or copper alloy corrosion inhibitor. When the cooling system contains copper equipment and raw water contains a certain amount of copper ions, it can be added to prevent copper corrosion. 2-mercaptobenzothiazole is also an intermediate of the herbicide benzothiachlor.
