APPLICATIONS |
||
This compound is used as a fungicide, seed disinfectant, bactericide, animal repellent, insecticide. It is used as a primary and secondary accelerator or as a sulfur donor (vulcanizing agent) in most sulfur-cured elastomers in rubber industry. It is also used in the treatments of chronic alcoholism with cause of acetaldehyde, a breakdown product of alcohol, to accumulate in the blood. It is a peptizing agent in sulfur-modified polychloroprenes. It is used in soaps and rodent repellents and as a nut, fruit and mushroom disinfectant. | ||

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF ACCELERATOR | ||
Sulfur combines with nearly all elements. Sulfur forms ring and chain structures
as it is the second only to carbon in exhibiting catenation. The 8-membered ring and
shorter chain structure of sulfur molecule is important in vulcanization
process which individual polymers are linked to other polymer molecules by
atomic bridges. This process produces thermoset materials which are cross-linked
and irreversible substances. The term thermoplastic is for high molecular weight
polymers which can undergo melting-freezing cycle. Thermosets are not melted and
re-molded on heating after cured. The split of sulfur 8-membered ring structure into shorter chains provides rubber vulcanization process. The split are
liked with cure sites (some of the solid bonds in the molecule) on rubber
molecules, resulting in forming sulfur bridges typically between 2 and 10 atoms
long. Vulcanization makes rubber harder, more durable and more resistant to
heating, aging and chemical attacks. The number of sulfur atoms in the sulfur bridges varies physical properties of
the end products. Short bridges containing one or two sulfur atoms offer heat
resistance and long bridges offer flexible property. Vulcanization can also be accomplished with
certain peroxides, gamma radiation, and several other organic compounds. The
principal classes of peroxide cross-linking agents are dialkyl and diaralkyl
peroxides, peroxyketals and peroxyesters. Other vulcanizing agents include amine
compounds for the cross-linking of fluorocarbon rubbers, metal oxides for
chlorine-containing rubbers (notably zinc oxide for chloroprene rubber) and
phenol-formaldehyde resins for the production of heat-resistant butyl rubber
vulcanizates. Accelerator, in the rubber industry, is added with a curing agent
to speed the vulcanization. Accelerators contain sulfur and nitrogen like derivatives of benzothiazole and thiocarbanilides.
The popular accelerators are
sulfenamides (as a delayed-action accelerators), thiazoles, thiuram sulfides,
dithocarbamates and guanidines.
There are some types of rubber accelerators. They are used in combination with each other in accordance with vulcanizing and/or acid-base conditions. Some examples classified by chemical structure are as below;
