ACCELERATOR DPG
(Diphenyl Guanidine)
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Accelerator DPG is useful as an accelerator/activator for natural rubber, SBR and NBR. It activates
accelerators such as MBT, MBTS and sulfenamides. It is a strong secondary for CBTS, BBTS, OBTS,
MBT and MBTS. DPG requires the use of zinc oxide and fatty acids. DPG provides satisfactory
processing safety and storage stability to rubber compounds. In light colored goods, it causes a brown
discoloration and is not recommended for use in compounds that have contact with food (imparts bitter
taste). For best aging results, an antioxidant is required. Suggested dosages of DPG in combination
with zinc oxide, stearic acid, and sulfur are as follows:
Natural Rubber................................... 0.10- 0.50 phr with sulfenamides or MBTS
SBR .................................................... 0.20 - 0.75 phr with sulfenamides, MBTS or MBT
NBR ................................................... 0.20 - 0.50 phr with CBTS, MBTS
TYPICAL PROPERTIES:
Appearance .................................................... non-dusting white powder or pellets
Odor ............................................................... weak with a bitter taste
Specific Gravity ............................................. 1.18 (powder) 1.20 (pellets)
Melting Point ................................................. 143oC minimum
Ash Content ................................................... 0.4% maximum
Solubility........................................................ Acetone, methylene chloride, ethyl acetate,
ethyl alcohol and benzene.
Insoluble in gasoline and water.
Storage Stability............................................. Excellent
Dispersion ...................................................... Very Good
CHEMICAL DISPERSIONS:
Accelerator DPG is also available as Akroform® DPG-75/EPR/P and Akroform® DPG-80/EPR/P.
Polymer bound or encapsulated dispersions are a proven means of upgrading plant safety, efficiency,
quality and raw material control.
