Rhenogran® ZDBC-80

Rhenogran® ZDBC-80 by Rhein Chemie Additives (Lanxess Group) is an accelerator for the rapid vulcanization of natural- and synthetic rubbers such as SBR, NBR and EPDM. It is also used in small amounts for secondary acceleration and activation of mixes cured with mercapto or thiuram accelerators. It offers the vulcanizates very good tensile and resilience properties. It is recommended to add antioxidants to improve resistance to aging especially of NR and IR. The addition of thiuram and thiazole accelerators can retard the curing rate and enhances processing safety. It has a shorter scorch time and a slower total curing time than Rhenogran® ZDEC-80, ZEPC-80 and ZDMC-80. It contains ethylene propylene diene rubber as a binder. It is designed for technical articles of all kinds, e.g. footwear and cables. Rhenogran® ZDBC-80 has a shelf life of 2 years.
