• It enhances adhesion to brass- and zinc-coated steel during vulcanization and direct bonding to textiles such as rayon, nylon and polyester, as well as glass and aromatic fibers.
• It requires the presence of a methylene donor such as hexamethylenetetramine (HMT) or hexamethoxymethylmelamine (HMMM).
• It is used in hoses (textile or wire reinforced-hydraulic/oil suction/ discharge hoses), belting (textile or wire reinforced-conveyor-/transmission-/V-belting), tyres (textile or wire reinforced- passenger/truck/aircraft tyres (both cross-ply and radial)) and rubberized fabrics (protective clothing, tarpaulins, diaphragms with synthetic, woven fibers).
• Its recommended dosage level is 3.0-4.0 pphr along with 1.5-2.0 pphr of hexamethylene-tetramine.
