Binary cure system is composed of different two cure accelerators, which can cause a synergy effect to delay the scorch time and to increase the cure rate. In this study, binary cure systems between 1,6-bis(N,N'-dibenzylthiocarbamoyldithio)-hexane (DBTH) and benzothiazole sulfenamides were investigated using carbon black-filled natural rubber compounds. N-Cyclohexyl-2-benzothiazole sulfenamide (CBS), N-tert-butyl-2-benzothiazole sulfenamide (TBBS), and 2-(morpholinothio) benzothiazole (MOR) were employed as benzothiazole sulfenamides. The binary cure systems show scorch safty at high temperature. The binary cure systems have faster cure rate and better reversion resistance than the single cure system of the benzothiazole sulfenamides. DBTH is found to be more effective to decrease the viscosity of a compound than the benzothiazole sulfenamides. Physical properties of the vulcanizates with the binary cure system are better than those of the vulcanizates with the single one.

There is an increasing demand for the rolling resistance reduction in truck bus radial (TBR) tires in the tire industry. In TBR tires, natural rubber is used as a base polymer to prevent wear and satisfy required physical properties (cut and chip). A binary filler system (silica and carbon black) is used to balance the durability of the tire and rolling resistance performance. In this study, natural rubber (NR) compounds applied with a binary filler system were manufactured at different cure temperatures for vulcanizate structure analysis. The vulcanizate structures were categorized into carbon black bound rubber, silica silane rubber network, and chemical crosslink density by sulfur. Regardless of the cure temperature, the cross-link density per unit content of carbon black had a greater effect on the properties than silica due to affinity with NR. The relationship analysis between the mechanical, viscoelastic properties with vulcanizate structure could be a guideline for manufacturing practical TBR compounds.
