2-Mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) CAS 149-30-4 Overview

Technical Specifications Comparison

Industrial & Commercial Applications

Rubber Vulcanization Accelerator

Primary application in tire manufacturing (60% global consumption) with activation temperature 140-160°C, reducing vulcanization time by 30-40% compared to conventional accelerators.

Corrosion Inhibition

Effective in cooling systems (0.05-0.2% concentration) with 85-92% corrosion inhibition efficiency for copper alloys in pH 7-9 environments.

Pharmaceutical Intermediate

Used in synthesis of benzothiazole derivatives for antifungal agents (patents: US20160368845A1, CN105732507A).

Operational Guidelines

Safety Note: Use NIOSH-approved P2 respirators when handling powder form (TLV-TWA 0.5 mg/m³).
