Abstract
Abstract A method is disclosed for increasing the rate of vulcanization of a rubber composition comprising adding to a sulfur vulcanizable rubber a methyl trialkyl ammonium salt 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 . Addition of a methyl trialkyl ammonium salt of the above formula significantly increases the rate of vulcanization of the rubber.
