Notes:
Attempts have been made to demonstrate the involvement of free radicals in the benzthiazolesulfenamide-accelerated vulcanization of natural rubber. Free radicals were only detected by ESR in reaction mixtures containing the retarder N-nitrosodiphenylamine (NDPA). In addition, NDPA was the only compound found, from the vulcanization accelerator and retarders tested, to affect the free-radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate. A purely ionic mechanism for sulfur vulcanization of natural rubber accelerated by benzthiazolesulfenamide derivatives has therefore been assumed and used to help in the design of new vulcanization retarders. A new class of retarder has been discovered, consisting of hydrocarbylthio derivatives of trisalkylsulfonyl methane. These retarders are believed to be the first vulcanization retarders to act by cleavage of a carbon-sulfur bond.
