Applications
- Rubber accelerator – a thiazole accelerator for natural and synthetic rubbers (NR, SBR, BR, NBR), often used with a second accelerator.
- Intermediate – the starting material for MBTS, CBS, TBBS and other benzothiazole accelerators.
- Mineral flotation – a collector for sulphide and oxidised sulphide ores.
- Lubricant additive – antioxidant and extreme-pressure component in lubricants and greases.
Packaging and documentation
- 25 kg PP/PE bags and 1000 kg jumbo bags; palletised for container shipment.
- Per-batch certificate of analysis (COA) and safety data sheet (SDS).
- Keep sealed and dry; store away from oxidising agents.
