The role of zinc stearate in the process of vulcanisation is:
The role of zinc stearate in the process of vulcanisation is:
- A. to accelerate the process
- B. to slow down the process
- C. to stop the process
- D. to initiate the process
Step-by-step solution
Zinc stearate is commonly used as an activator in vulcanisation. It reacts with accelerators to form active sulfurating species, which increases the rate of crosslinking, thereby accelerating the vulcanisation process.
