Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a cure system for a sulfur vulcanizable rubber. The cure system comprises: (a) from about 0.50 to about 2.0 phr of a sulfenamide accelerator selected from the group consisting of N-oxydiethylene benzothiazole-2 sulfenamide, N-cyclohexyl-2-benzothiazole sulfenamide, N-t-butyl-2-benzothiazole sulfenamide and N-oxydiethylene-thiocarbamyl-N'-oxydiethylene sulfenamide; (b) from about 0.10 to about 1.0 phr of a guanidine accelerator selected from the group consisting of diphenyl guanidine and di-ortho-tolylguanidine; (c) from about 0.10 to about 1.0 phr of a thiuram accelerator selected from the group consisting of tetraethyl thiuramdisulfide, tetramethyl thiuram monosulfide, tetramethyl thiuramdisulfide; (d) from about 0.05 to about 1.0 phr of mercapto benzothiazyl disulfide; (e) from about 0.75 to about 3.0 phr of a sulfur vulcanizing agent; (f) from about 0.05 to about 0.50 phr of N-cyclohexylthio-phthalimide; (g) from about 1.0 to about 5.0 phr of a zinc compound selected from the group consisting of zinc oxide and zinc stearate and; (h) from about 0.05 to about 1.0 phr of an activator of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 are independently alkyl radicals having 8 to 10 carbon atoms and M is selected from the group consisting of Cl, Br, CH 3 SO 4 and HSO 4 .
