Abstract
In 17 subjects allergic to mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) we tested MBT-mix and various derivatives thereof which are also used as accelerators in the rubber industry: zinc mercaptobenzothiazolate (MBTZ), di-benzothiazyl disulphide (MBTS), mercaptobenzimidazole (MBI), N-tert-butyl-2-benzothiazylsulphenamide (Santocure NS), N,N-diisopropyl-2-benzothiazylsulphenamide (DIBS), 2-benzothiazyl and N,N-diethylthiocarbamoylsulphide (Ethylac), N-cyclohexyl-2-benzothiazylsulphenamide (CBS), morpholino-2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MOR) and morpholino-2-benzothiazyldisulphide (Vulcuren 2). The tests were carried out with the substances in the form in which they are used industrially, and hence in the state in which they are likely to reach persons sensitised to MBT; no testing, was carried out for the presence of traces of MBT or other substances.
