VULKACIT DM/C Vulkacit DM/C Vulcanization is the conversion of a high-molecular material from the plastic to the elastic state. One of the key chemical reactions in this process is that of rubber with sulfur. Sulfur vulcanization, widely used in the rubber industry, requires the use of vulcanization accelerators such as Vulkacit DM/C.

One of the key chemical reactions in this process is that of rubber with sulfur. Sulfur vulcanization, widely used in the rubber industry, requires the use of vulcanization accelerators such as Vulkacit DM/C®. Vulcanization accelerators are not catalysts because they are part of the chemical reaction. The great variety of accelerators available is a result of their different influences on the vulcanization kinetics (scorch and cure time) and on physical properties such as tensile strength, elasticity or resistance to aging. In many cases, accelerators are combined to supply optimal processing and physical properties Vulkacit DM/C Merkapto This document provides a brief description of Vulkacit DM/C Merkapto, its uses, and the potential hazards associated with short and long term exposure. Environmental impact information for accidental releases is included. This information is general in nature and is not intended as a replacement for the safety data sheet (SDS), product label and other safe handling literature.

Identification Product Name: Vulkacit DM/C Merkapto Chemical Name: 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole Synonym(s): 2(3H)-Benzothiazolethione 2-Benzothiazolethiol Benzothiazole-2-thiol MBT CAS Number: 149-30-4 Description Overview: Vulkacit DM/C Merkapto is a yellow solid at ambient temperatures. The chemical is sold by LANXESS in powder form with a mild, pungent odor. Uses: Vulkacit DM/C Merkapto is manufactured by LANXESS for use as a vulcanization accelerator in the production of tires and other rubber products. The chemical is also used as a mildewicide in the manufacture of textiles, paper sizings and water-based adhesives; and as a corrosion inhibitor in cutting oils and petroleum products. Properties: Melting Point: Product Safety Assessment: Vulkacit DM/C Merkapto Last Revised: August 2015 Page 2 of 3 Potential Human Health Effects Occupational Exposure Potential for exposure exists during manufacture, at transloading facilities, during transfers to storage or staging areas and—in its application as a vulcanization accelerator in the production of rubber—during the charging of mixers. Employee Training Workers handling Vulkacit DM/C Merkapto are trained to implement proper handling procedures and to understand the potential health and physical hazards of this product. NOISH approved, airpurifying particulate respirators are recommended for product handlers. In addition, LANXESS recommends that workers wear goggles, long-sleeved shirts, long pants and gloves when handling Vulkacit DM/C Merkapto to minimize skin and eye contact. Organic vapor respirators and engineering or process controls may be necessary in operations where the chemical is heated to thermal decomposition. Consumer Exposure LANXESS Corporation does not sell this product to the general public. Rubber goods using Vulkacit DM/C Merkapto as an accelerator retain the substance in encapsulated form in the final product. Persons susceptible to allergic skin reactions may experience “tennis shoe” dermatitis as a result of direct skin contact with shoes, elastic waistbands and other products containing the chemical. Skin irritation is typically temporary. Short-Term Health Effects Short-term contact with Vulkacit DM/C Merkapto may cause mild skin or eye irritation. Inhalation of Vulkacit DM/C Merkapto dust may cause respiratory tract irritation, with symptoms of coughing and a sore throat. Susceptible individuals may experience an allergic reaction from direct skin contact, with symptoms of redness, itching, swelling and rash. Vulkacit DM/C Merkapto is not expected to be harmful if swallowed. Long-Term Health Effects Long-term or repeated contact with Vulkacit DM/C Merkapto may cause skin sensitization. Physical Hazards Vulkacit DM/C Merkapto is a stable, non-volatile solid at room temperature. Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents. Large concentrations of Vulkacit DM/C Merkapto dust may be explosive. Exposure to heat, open flames and other potential sources of ignition should be avoided. Potential Environmental Impact Vulkacit DM/C Merkapto is not biodegradable but the chemical does break down into biodegradable substances with prolonged exposure to water and/or light. Vulkacit DM/C Merkapto may pose a potential danger to fish (slight toxicity), invertebrates (moderate to high toxicity) and aquatic plants (moderate to high toxicity) prior to degrading. Accumulation in the environment is not expected. Product Safety Assessment: Vulkacit DM/C Merkapto Last Revised: August 2015 Page 3 of 3 Conclusion Under normal conditions of anticipated use as described in this Product Safety Assessment, and if the recommended safe use and handling procedures are followed, Vulkacit DM/C Merkapto is not expected to pose a significant risk to human health or the environment.

Properties: Melting Point: Flash Point: Solubility in Water: > 208°F (98°C) 334.4°F (168°C) Slight Product Safety Assessment: Vulkacit DM/C CZ/EG-C Last Revised: August 2015 Page 2 of 3 Potential Human Health Effects Occupational Exposure Potential for exposure exists through inhalation, ingestion, skin or eye contact during cleaning, maintenance and repair work in facilities that manufacture Vulkacit DM/C CZ/EG-C; at transloading facilities, during transfers to storage or staging areas andóin its application as a vulcanization acceleratoróduring the charging of mixers. Employee Training Workers handling Vulkacit DM/C CZ/EG-C are trained to implement proper handling procedures and to understand the potential health and physical hazards of this product. A NIOSH approved airpurifying particulate respirator is recommended for operations where dust concentrations exceed appropriate standards/guidelines. In addition, LANXESS recommends that goggles, permeation resistant clothing, gloves and foot protection be worn when handling Vulkacit DM/C CZ/EG-C. Consumer Exposure LANXESS Corporation does not sell this product to the general public. Rubber products manufactured using Vulkacit DM/C CZ/EG-C as an accelerator may retain encapsulated n-cyclohexyl-2- benzothiazolesulfenamide and persons susceptible to allergic skin reactions may experience temporary skin irritation from direct contact with these products. Trace amounts of n-cyclohexyl-2- benzothiazolesulfenamide can leach from rubber goods manufactured using the chemical as an intermediate, and the chemical has been found in drinking water and other water sources. Short-Term Health Effects Short-term skin or eye contact with Vulkacit DM/C CZ/EG-C may cause mild irritation. Susceptible individuals may experience an allergic reaction from direct contact with symptoms of redness, itching, swelling or rash. Inhalation of Vulkacit DM/C CZ/EG-C dust may cause respiratory tract irritation with symptoms of coughing, sore throat and runny nose. Vulkacit DM/C CZ/EG-C is not expected to be harmful if swallowed, although abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea may occur. Long-Term Health Effects Repeated or prolonged overexposure may result in sensitization and may cause effects as noted under Short-Term Health Effects. Certain mineral oils have been identified as known or suspected human carcinogens as well as fertility damage. Physical Hazards Vulkacit DM/C CZ/EG-C is a stable, non-volatile solid at room temperature. Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents.
