Abstract
An improved product form for an additive for rubber vulcanizates which allows increased scorch safety time when using said additive. The additive comprises particles of Bunte salt containing two or more groups of the formula R-S—SO3M, or a hydrate thereof, linked by an organic bridging group, where R represents an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, a cycloaliphatic group, an aromatic group, a heterocyclic group, or a radical which is a combination of two or more of such groups, and M represents a monovalent metal or the equivalent of a multivalent metal. In particular, the invention comprises a method for increasing the scorch safety time of a rubber vulcanizate when using such Bunte salt having a mean particle size of less than 15.0 micrometers.
