Rubber and plastic accelerator formulations of the present invention are directed to formulations containing an accelerator compound comprised of an organic-based quaternary ammonium salt. Preferably, the accelerator compound of the present invention is comprised of a quaternary ammonium salt selected from the group consisting of trimethylbetahydroxyethyl ammonium hydroxide (TMBHEAH), carboxymethyltrimethyl ammonium hydroxide (CMTAH), methylallylbenzylphenol ammonium iodide, benzyltriethyl ammonium chloride, hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium chloride imidazolium compounds. As particularly preferred embodiments, the accelerator formulations are comprised of a choline based compound comprised of trimethylbetahydroxyethyl ammonium hydroxide and/or of a betaine compound comprised of carboxymethyltrimethyl ammonium hydroxide. These accelerator formulations are far more effective as they offer considerably improved physical properties with only one-half the use as compared to the rubber accelerators currently used by the rubber industry. The accelerator formulations of the present invention are non-toxic. They offer a degree of safety in use and handling that is not available with the toxic rubber accelerators currently used in the rubber industry. Moreover, the accelerators of the present invention cause no defects to the rubber and plastic products in which they are used. Such formulations are stable and can be stored for long periods without reacting or breaking down chemically. They are non-staining and non-discoloring to light-colored rubber or plastic products. They do not give off foul, pungent odors and have a bland, mild odor. In effect, the accelerators of the present invention are much more effective and provide a degree of safety and freedom from defects for rubber and plastic products and persons handling them that is not available with the rubber accelerators, primary, ultra or secondary types, currently used by the rubber industry.
本发明的橡胶和塑料促进剂配方是指含有由有机基季铵盐组成的促进剂化合物的配方。优选地,本发明的促进剂化合物由选自三甲基羟乙基氢氧化铵(TMBHEAH)、羧甲基三甲基氢氧化铵(CMTAH)、甲基烯丙基苯酚碘化铵、苄基三乙基氯化铵、十六烷基三甲基氯化铵咪唑鎓化合物的季铵盐组成。在特别优选的实施方案中,促进剂配方是由三甲基羟乙基氢氧化铵组成的胆碱基化合物和/或由羧甲基三甲基氢氧化铵组成的甜菜碱化合物。与橡胶工业目前使用的橡胶促进剂相比,这些促进剂配方只需使用二分之一的用量,就能大大改善物理性能,因此更为有效。本发明的促进剂配方无毒。它们在使用和处理过程中具有一定程度的安全性,这是目前橡胶工业中使用的有毒橡胶促进剂所不具备的。此外,本发明的促进剂不会对所使用的橡胶和塑料产品造成缺陷。此类配方稳定,可长期储存而不会发生化学反应或分解。它们对浅色橡胶或塑料制品无染色和变色作用。它们不会散发恶臭和刺激性气味,气味平淡温和。实际上,本发明的促进剂更为有效,可为橡胶和塑料产品以及处理这些产品的人员提供一定程度的安全性和无缺陷性,这是橡胶工业目前使用的橡胶促进剂(一级、超一级或二级类型)所不具备的。
