Widely used as a delayed-action accelerator in the vulcanization of rubber, particularly in the production of tires and other automotive rubber components. It provides excellent processing safety by delaying the onset of vulcanization, allowing for easier mixing, shaping, and extrusion of rubber compounds. Offers good scorch resistance while promoting efficient cure rates at higher temperatures. Commonly used in combination with other accelerators to achieve desired cure characteristics in natural rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), and polybutadiene rubber. Also contributes to improved aging and fatigue resistance in the final rubber products.
