Successful Installation of a New Upgraded Agitator

A new 316L stainless steel agitator and mechanical seal have been successfully installed in Robinson Brothers’ small 400L Carbon Disulfide reactor.

The reactor, originally designed for the manufacture of Thioureas, has been modified to improve our flexibility and our ability to offer small scale Carbon Disulfide chemistry to a wider range of organic synthesis.

This new agitator will improve mixing and containment of the contents in the carbon disulphide process vessel. Consequently, there is a more effective stirring process, heat transfer and a higher product conversion all coupled with better process safety.

These improvements are particularly useful for the manufacture of our product TiNTD, tetraisononyl thiuram disulphide. This product is a new material developed by our Robac team and used as a safe thiuram accelerator in under bonnet automotive components and other heat resistant applications. TINTD is an effective replacement for the traditional accelerator TMTD (tetramethylthiuram disulphide) and TBUT (tetrabutylthiuram disulphide). To learn more about TiNTD click here.
