6、ubber and Carbon Black ManufacturingIndustries3.Summary of Test Method3.1 A sample of MBTS is dissolved in solvent.Afteraddition of an acetate buffer,water,and starch solution,thesolution is titrated with iodine.3.2 MBTS is sparingly soluble in any organic solvent.MBT,major impurity in MBTS,is very
7、soluble.Stirring thereforewill dissolve MBT,MBTS could stay undissolved.4.Significance and Use4.1 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole(MBT)is usually the majorimpurity in MBTS.Free MBT may be determined by this testmethod.4.2 MBT and MBTS are used for rubber and latex vulcani-zation acceleration.The amount of MB
8、T in MBTS may be ofimportance in predicting performance in rubber compoundsand for raw material purchase and control.4.3 This test method may be used as a quality control tooland for research and development work.5.Apparatus5.1 Erlenmeyer Flask,300-cm3.5.2 Graduated Cylinders,10-cm3,50-cm3,250-cm3.5
