introduction

In the rubber manufacturing process, the selection of rubber accelerator plays a vital role. A suitable accelerator can not only improve production efficiency, but also significantly improve product quality. Therefore, selecting a suitable rubber accelerator has become an important task for every rubber industry technician and manager.

Types and properties of rubber accelerators

Common types of rubber accelerators

Rubber accelerators can be divided into several categories according to their chemical composition and application effects, including vulcanization accelerators, oxidation accelerators, copolymerization accelerators, etc. The following are several common rubber accelerators and their characteristics:

• Vulcanization accelerator: mainly used to increase the vulcanization speed and cross-linking degree of rubber, such as MBT, MBTS, etc.
• Oxidation accelerator: used to enhance the anti-aging properties of rubber, such as TMTM, TMTD, etc.
• Copolymerization accelerator: specially used for the copolymerization of synthetic rubber, which can increase the wear resistance and heat resistance of rubber.

Characteristic description of accelerator

Different types of rubber accelerators have different physical and chemical properties, such as:

How to optimize the selection of rubber accelerators

According to the performance requirements of rubber products

Choosing a suitable rubber accelerator requires first clarifying the target properties of the rubber product. From vulcanization speed, aging resistance to wear resistance, different performance requirements determine the choice of accelerator. For example, for rubber products that require rapid vulcanization, you can choose MBT; for products that require high heat resistance, copolymerization accelerators are preferred.

According to processing conditions

The processing conditions during the actual production process, such as temperature, pressure and time, will also affect the effectiveness of the accelerator. For each type of accelerator, the optimal processing conditions are different. Therefore, accelerators need to be screened and adjusted according to actual production conditions.

Industry practice and case analysis

In actual operations, many companies have improved production efficiency and product quality by optimizing the selection of rubber accelerators. For example, in the production process of a rubber factory, by switching from MBT to MBTS, the vulcanization speed increased by 20%, and the aging resistance of the product was also significantly enhanced. These successful cases provide valuable reference for technicians and managers in the rubber industry.

in conclusion

Selecting the right rubber accelerator is a complex but crucial process. By understanding the characteristics of different types of accelerators and combining them with specific product performance requirements and processing conditions, production efficiency and product quality can be significantly improved. It is hoped that this article can provide valuable guidance for technicians and managers in the rubber industry on the selection of accelerators.
