Accelerators as Vulcanization Additive in Tire Manufacturing

RFID tag coating rubber composition for tires that balances communication performance, crack resistance, adhesion, and elastic modulus. The composition contains a rubber component, sulfur, silica, and a guanidine-based vulcanization accelerator.

Triazinane derivatives with three aminecarbotrithioate end-groups that act as both cross-linking agents and vulcanization accelerators in rubber compounds. These triazinane compounds, like (1,3,5-triazinane-1,3,5-triyl)tris(propane-3,1-diyl) tris(dibenzylcarbamo(dithioperoxo)thioate), have dual effects during rubber vulcanization: they cross-link the rubber matrix by splitting their disulfide bonds, and they accelerate vulcanization by generating dithiocarbamate radicals.
