Technical Data Sheet
Duralink™ HTS


Key Attributes
  • A slight reduction in scorch safety and modulus and a slight increase in cure time may be observed when using Duralink HTS in various compounds.
  • Duralink HTS is non-staining and non-discoloring in most compounds.
  • Duralink improves properties which depend upon network characteristics and dynamic mechanical properties including tear, fatigue, modulus, grip characteristics and rolling resistance throughout the service life of the article.

Product Description

Chemical name:Hexamethylene-1,6-bis(thiosulphate),disodium salt, dihydrate

Molecular weight: 390

Duralink™ HTS is used in sulfur-based vulcanization systems to generate hybrid crosslinks which provide increased retention of physical and dynamic properties when exposed to anaerobic conditions at elevated temperatures such as those experienced during overcure, when using high curing temperatures or during product service life.

Applications
Duralink™ HTS is used with conventional or semi-efficient sulfur based vulcanization systems to generate thermally stable hybrid crosslinks which provide excellent dynamic flexibility in NR, IR, SBR, BR and blends of these polymers.

Duralink™ HTS is used in SBR based compounds to modify the viscoelastic dynamic properties.

Duralink™ HTS is used as an adhesion promoter to enhance the adhesion between rubber compounds and brass plated steel reinforcing materials.


Storage
Store Duralink™ HTS in a cool, dry, well ventilated area, avoiding exposure of the packaged product to direct sunlight.
