Rubber Accelerators Novel Sustainable Accelerator Systems for Natural and Synthetic Polyisoprene Latex without added Zinc oxide Abstract Both natural and synthetic latex based products vulcanised with conventional accelerators exhibit Type IV allergic reaction....

Rubber Accelerators Sustainable Accelerators for Synthetic Lattices - Update Abstract Synthetic lattices are free from natural proteins and do not exhibit Type I allergic reactions. Predominantly, they are vulcanised with conventional thiazoles, dithiocarbamates...

Rubber Accelerators Sustainable and Safer Accelerators for the Latex Industry Abstract Diene containing latex polymers utilise sulphur vulcanisation along with individual or mixtures of accelerator types (dithiocarbamates, thiurams and thiazoles) to produce...

Rubber Accelerators Technological and Physico-chemical Behaviour of Safer Accelerators in Synthetic Polyisoprene Latex Abstract The conventional accelerators like dithiocarbamates, thiurams and mercaptobenzothiazoles are highly effective in the vulcanisation of...

Rubber Accelerators Novel Accelerators for Synthetic Polyisoprene and Carboxylated Nitrile Latices K B Chakraborty and R Couchman Robinson Brothers Limited, UK Unlike Natural Rubber latices Synthetic Polyisoprene and Carboxylated Nitrile latices are free from...

Rubber Accelerators Safer Accelerators for the Latex Industry Abstract Type IV allergic reactions have been well documented in latex products. Conventional dithiocarbamates, thiurams and mercaptobenzthiazoles have been shown to be the main cause. The same...
