Notes:
A synergistic combination of bis(diisopropyl)thiophosphoryl disulfide, dimorpholyl disulfide, and sulfur is used to produce an efficient vulcanizing system for a range of rubbers. This produces vulcanizates with the exceptional thermal and thermal-oxidative stability characteristic of sulfur donor vulcanizates and the rapid and extensive crosslinking reaction normally associated with a conventional sulfur-accelerator combination. A pronounced induction period is noted. The crosslinks initially produced in cis-1,4-polyisoprene rubbers are predominantly polysulfide but reduce to mono- and disulfides at optimum and extended cures. The crosslinks of the ethylene-propylene terpolymer and the styrene-butadiene vulcanizates are initially mainly disulfide but are rapidly reduced to monosulfides at the high curing temperatures (180°C) used. A comparison with vulcanization systems based on tetramethylthiuram disulfide and bis(diisopropyl)thiophosphoryl tri-and tetrasulfides as sulfur donors and with a conventional cyclohexylbenthazyl-2-sulfenamide-sulfur combination, respectively, shows it to have distinct advantages.
