Vulcanisation Accelerators

Vulcanisation Accelerators are key additives in the rubber industry that accelerate and optimize the vulcanization process. Vulcanization accelerators are used to increase the reaction speed of vulcanization, which shortens production times and increases productivity. Through the targeted selection and dosing of vulcanization accelerators, the material properties of the vulcanized rubber, such as tensile strength, elasticity and ageing resistance, can be improved. The rubber industry uses these accelerators in a variety of applications, including the manufacture of tires, seals, hoses and other rubber products. The continuous research and development of new vulcanization accelerators enables the industry to produce innovative materials with improved performance properties and meet the requirements of various applications.

Vulcanisation Accelerators of the LUBIO® NCL series are based on a newly developed cluster technology. With the help of this technology, the cross-linking of rubber products can be both accelerated and controlled. Through the use of LUBIO® NCL grades, it is possible to reduce the amount of sulfur in the vulcanisation process, which contributes, among other things, to the ageing resistance of rubber.
