Rubber Accelerators Robac SRM102, a Novel Safe Accelerator for Curing Polychloroprene and Other Elastomers   Summary Robac SRM102 is a novel safe accelerator designed to replace ethylene thiourea (ETU) as the main curative in polychloroprene rubber (CR). In...

Rubber Accelerators Mechanism for Cross-Linking Polychloroprene with Ethylene thiourea and Zinc oxide Abstract An investigation into the mechanism by which ethylene thiourea (ETU) cross-links polychloroprene (CR) in combination with zinc oxide (ZnO) was...

Rubber Accelerators Robac SRM102, a New Safe and Effective Replacement for ETU in Polychloroprene Abstract Polychloroprene rubber (CR) is used in a diverse range of applications from automotive (hoses, belts and windscreen wiper blades), engineering (bridge and...

Rubber Accelerators SRM102, a New Safe Accelerator for Curing Polychloroprene Abstract This paper discusses the process of designing SRM102, a new safe and effective accelerator for polychloroprene rubber (CR). To assist in the design of SRM102, the mechanism by...

Rubber Accelerators A Study of Low Temperature Rubber Curing Accelerators Abstract Current production processes in the rubber industry lean towards greater productivity and faster throughput times using shorter cure cycles at higher curing temperature. This...

Rubber Accelerators Reversible Addition–fragmentation Chain Transfer Polymerization of 2-Chloro-1,3-butadiene Abstract Controlled polymerization of 2-chloro-1,3-butadiene using reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization has...
