MBT Rubber Accelerator (2-Mercaptobenzothiazole) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole
- 2(3H)-Benzothiazolethione
- Benzothiazole-2-Thiol
- MBT
MBT rubber accelerator supplier in Malaysia. MBT is 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, CAS 149-30-4, a primary acid-type accelerator with broad activity across natural and synthetic rubber cure systems. It is one of the general-purpose workhorses of rubber chemistry, active in compounds that range from tyres and footwear to hoses and moulded goods.
Commercial grades come as powder, granules and pre-dispersed or coated forms picked to cut dust and ease dosing. Specifications separate on assay, ash and impurity limits, and the form should fit the mixing and weighing setup.
Typical applications cover tyres, belts, hoses, mats and general moulded and extruded rubber goods, plus latex and dipped-goods work and research use of the thiol chemistry. MBT is not CBS, TBBS or TMTD, and substituting one accelerator for another changes the cure, so order by name.

Safety and handling
Keep sealed in a cool, dry place away from heat, ignition sources and strong oxidisers. Minimise dust in handling and follow the safety data sheet issued for the quoted grade.
Common questions about MBT rubber accelerator
What is MBT rubber accelerator used for?
MBT is a primary acid-type accelerator used in the vulcanisation of natural and synthetic rubber. It is broadly active across many compound types, including tyres, footwear, hoses, belts and general moulded goods.
Is MBT the same as CBS?
No. MBT is 2-mercaptobenzothiazole while CBS is the cyclohexyl sulfenamide derived from it. They are different accelerators with different cure behaviour and their own pages, so keep the exact one named on the formulation.
Which forms are available?
Common market forms are powder, granules and pre-dispersed or coated grades for lower dust. State the form and the mixing and dosing system so a suitable presentation can be quoted.
What does the thiol name benzothiazole-2-thiol mean?
Benzothiazole-2-thiol and 2-mercaptobenzothiazole name the same molecule, CAS 149-30-4. The name describes a benzothiazole ring carrying a thiol group at the two position.
What information is needed for an MBT rubber accelerator quote?
Provide the required form, the specification or assay limits, quantity, delivery location and required documents. Availability and packing are confirmed with the quotation.
