The use of accelerators in rubber latex is basically different from their use in dry rubber. In the present study, N amidino N'phenyl thiourea (APT) which is more nucleophilic than thiourea was studied as a secondary accelerator along with tetra methyl thiuram disulphide (TMTD) and N-cyclohexylbenzothiazyl sulphenamide (CBS) in the vulcanization of natural rubber latex. These binary systems were found to be very effective in reducing the vulcanization time. The optimum dosages for this non-toxic secondary accelerator required were derived. Rheological studies of the compounded latex show that the introduction of APT in these systems does not have adverse effect in processing in comparison with the thiourea systems.
