Abstract
NBR-PVC copolymer blend provides a combination of better chemical resistance and weathering resistance. In NBR-PVC blends, di-accelerator system is normally used to achieve desired properties with better cross-linking density. Tetramethylthiurammonosulphide (TMTM) is widely used as the secondary accelerator to achieve various properties like heat ageing and high cross-linking density. When TMTM level is exceeding the soluble limit, blooming phenomena observed in the di-accelerator system. This study deals with the effect of accelerator system on blooming phenomena in NBR-PVC material. Various combinations of tetramethylthiurammonosulphide (TMTM), Mercapto-benzothiazole disulphide (MBTS) and N-Cyclohexyl-2-benzothiazole sulfenamide (CBS) were worked out to eliminate the blooming effect with desired functional properties are discussed in this paper.
