CAS Reg. No.: 105-55-5
Molecular weight: 132

Behaviour in Vulcanization

With NAFTOCIT DETU a very fast vulcanization will be obtained. It is a typical accelerator for BR and ECO, as well as a second accelerator for other types of rubber like EPDM.

The addition of NAFTOCIT DETU (or NAFTOCIT Mi 12 - ETU) increases the rate of cure and the modulus, but reduces the storage stability of the compound.

For continuous vulcanization it gives a high degree of cure.

Typical fields of application

For the production of technical rubber goods, profiles and cables. Inhibitor for acidic media, e.g. refractory binder, anticorrosive agent.

Dosage

For BR (for continuous vulcanization like microwave, salt bath): 0.5 - 1.8 phr (by wt.) NAFTOCIT DETU in combination wìth 0.5 - 3.0 phr (by wt.) NAFTOCIT Mi 12 and 0 - 0.8 phr (by wt.) NAFTOCIT Thiuram 16.

Food contact applications

Not listed in FDA and BGA.

Shelf life

At least 1 year when avoiding extremely high temperatures and humidity.

Standard packing

Reinforced paper bags, 25 kg net.
