Common questions about zinc mercaptobenzothiazole
What is ZMBT used for in rubber?
ZMBT is a vulcanisation accelerator used in natural rubber, synthetic rubber and latex compounds. It supports cure in products such as tyres, footwear, hoses, belts and dipped latex gloves.
Is ZMBT the same as MBT?
No. MBT, 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, is the free mercaptan, while ZMBT is its zinc salt. The two are distinct products with different specifications and are quoted separately.
Which ZMBT grade should I request?
Rubber compounding grade is quoted for dry rubber compounds, and latex compounding grade for dipped latex work. State the compound type, form and intended loading with the enquiry.
What specifications should be provided for ZMBT?
Include the required purity or zinc content limits, particle form, quantity and delivery location. Any certificate of analysis requirement should be attached to the enquiry.
How is ZMBT priced in Malaysia?
Price depends on rubber or latex grade, zinc or purity limits, particle form, order quantity, pack format and delivery location. State the compound application so the appropriate ZMBT grade can be quoted.
