Properties:

1. 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) is an organosulfur compound with the formula C6H4NSCSH. The molecule consists of a benzene ring fused to a 2-Mercaptothiazole ring.

2. MBT chemical has a slightly foul odor and bitter taste, non-poisonous. Easily soluble in ethyl acetone, acetone, a dilute solution of sodium hydroxide and sodium carbonate, soluble in ethyl alcohol, not easily soluble in benzene, and insoluble in water and gasoline.

Package: In a plastic bag or kraft paper bag. 25 kg per bag or customers’ requirements.

Storage: The storage environment should be ventilated, cold, and dry. Separate from food materials, acids, and oxidizers in the warehouse. It is low in toxicity and has an irritating effect on the skin and mucous membranes.

Safety Protection:

1. 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole is somewhat toxic to humans. It may cause irritation, allergy or poisoning reactions when inhaled or inhaled. When using or handling this compound, appropriate protective measures must be taken, such as wearing protective glasses, gloves and protective clothing.

2. When disposing of 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole waste, it is necessary to use safe methods to dispose of it. Follow local regulations and send the waste to designated chemical treatment facilities for treatment.

MBT Applications

1.MBT chemical is used in the vulcanization of rubber.

2.Using 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, rubber vulcanizes with less sulfur and at milder temperatures. Both factors give a stronger product. This effect was reported in 1921 by workers at Pirelli and Goodyear Tire & Rubber.

3.MBT is used as a cooling tower biocide. MBT chemical has also been used in the gold-mining industry to “float” the gold from ore residue as part of the extraction process.

4. 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole is a Hemi-ultra accelerator extensively used in the vulcanization of natural and synthetic rubbers. It is mainly used to manufacture rubber tires, rubber belts, rubber shoes, and other technical rubber goods.

5.In addition, 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole is also used to prepare pesticide fungicides, nitrogenous fertilizer synergists, cutting oil and lubricating additives, photographic chemistry in the machine anti ash agent, metal corrosion inhibitors, etc. It is also a reagent used in chemical analysis.

6.This product is an effective copper or copper alloy corrosion inhibitor. When the cooling system contains copper equipment and raw water contains a certain amount of copper ions, it can be added to prevent copper corrosion.

7. Mercaptobenzothiazole is also an intermediate of the herbicide benzothiachlor.

We offer competitive MBT & Mercaptobenzothiazole price, and exclusive discounts for large quantities, helping you effectively reduce procurement costs.
