Rubber Antioxidant CAS 61617-00-3 MMBZ 2-Mercaptomethylbenzimidazole Zinc

Overview of Rubber Antioxidant

Rubber Antioxidant , also known as MMBZ or 2-Mercaptomethylbenzimidazole Zinc, is a zinc-based rubber antioxidant. It belongs to the class of benzimidazole derivatives, which are widely used in the rubber industry to improve the resistance of rubber materials to oxidation and degradation caused by various factors such as heat, light, and oxygen.
MMBZ works as a scavenger of reactive oxygen species, neutralizing them and preventing them from assaulting the rubber molecules. This antioxidant kinds a protective layer on the rubber surface, which guards it from external representatives that can create destruction. It works in both natural and artificial rubbers, boosting their shelf life and toughness.
Making use of this antioxidant assists to maintain the physical buildings of rubber items, such as flexibility, tensile stamina, and adaptability, over expanded durations.

Production Method of Rubber Antioxidant

Rubber antioxidants are made using different methods. First, chemical synthesis creates synthetic antioxidants. For example, amine-based antioxidants like 6PPD are produced by mixing aniline and cyclohexanone under heat and pressure. The reaction forms a yellow liquid, which is then purified through distillation and crystallization to remove impurities. This ensures high purity. Natural antioxidants come from plants like rosemary or pine. The plants are crushed and soaked in solvents to extract phenolic compounds. The solution is filtered and concentrated to get a natural antioxidant mixture. This method is popular for eco-friendly products. Complex antioxidants use blending. Manufacturers mix different compounds, such as phenolic and amine antioxidants, with stabilizers like zinc oxide. The mixture is heated until it becomes a uniform liquid. This blend offers better protection against heat, light, and oxidation than single antioxidants. Quality control is important in all methods. Samples are tested for purity, melting point, and effectiveness to meet industry standards. Proper production ensures antioxidants work well in rubber products.

Storage Condition of Rubber Antioxidant

Store rubber antioxidants in sealed containers. Use plastic or metal drums to block air and moisture. Keep them in a dry place with low humidity (below 40%). High dampness can cause clumping. Store at room temperature (15–25°C). Avoid heat and direct sunlight. High temperatures speed up chemical changes. Separate from acids, bases, and oxidizing agents. These can react and reduce effectiveness. Handle with gloves to prevent skin contact. Label containers clearly with name, purity, and date. Check storage areas regularly for leaks or damage. Proper storage keeps antioxidants working well for longer.

5 FAQs of Rubber Antioxidant

Q1

What are the main application areas of Rubber Antioxidant?

Answer : Rubber Antioxidant’s main application areas include tire manufacturing, cable and insulation material production, rubber seals and adhesives manufacturing, rubber shoe materials and sports equipment production, as well as industrial rubber products and other fields.

Q2

What are the chemical structure characteristics of MMBZ or 2-Mercaptomethylbenzimidazole Zinc?

Answer : The chemical structure of MMBZ or 2-Mercaptomethylbenzimidazole Zinc contains a 2-Mercaptomethylbenzimidazole moiety, which combines with zinc ions to form an organometallic soap. This structural characteristic gives it excellent antioxidant performance and thermal stability.

Q3

What is the antioxidant mechanism of MMBZ in rubber?

Answer : The antioxidant mechanism of MMBZ in rubber mainly prevents oxidative degradation of rubber by clearing free radicals. When rubber materials are affected by external factors such as heat, light, oxygen, etc., free radicals are generated, which can attack rubber molecules and cause degradation. MMBZ, as an antioxidant, can quickly react with these free radicals, thereby stopping the oxidation chain reaction and protecting rubber from damage.

Q4

Why is MMBZ or 2-Mercaptomethylbenzimidazole Zinc considered an environmentally friendly rubber antioxidant?

Answer : MMBZ or 2-Mercaptomethylbenzimidazole Zinc is considered an environmentally friendly rubber antioxidant, mainly because it does not release harmful substances during the production and use of rubber products, and does not pose a threat to human health and the environment. At the same time, it also complies with relevant environmental regulations and standards, and can be safely used in various application fields.

Q5

How to ensure the uniform distribution of MMBZ or 2-Mercaptomethylbenzimidazole Zinc during rubber processing?

Answer : In the rubber processing, MMBZ or 2-Mercaptomethylbenzimidazole Zinc can be thoroughly mixed with rubber raw materials during the mixing stage to ensure their uniform distribution in the rubber. Meanwhile, appropriate processing temperature and time can also help improve the dispersibility of antioxidants in rubber. Uniformly distributed antioxidants can better exert their antioxidant effects, improve the quality and stability of rubber products.
