Arihant Reclamation Pvt. Ltd. supplies high-performance rubber accelerators including Accelerator MOR, widely used in rubber manufacturing to improve processing safety, control curing behavior, and reduce production risks during high-temperature operations.
In rubber compounding, scorch safety is one of the most critical parameters, especially in high-temperature processing environments. Premature vulcanization (scorch) during mixing or shaping can lead to material wastage, processing difficulties, and complete batch rejection.
Accelerator MOR plays a vital role in controlling scorch and ensuring a stable processing window, making it highly suitable for demanding industrial applications.
What is Scorch in Rubber Processing?
Scorch refers to premature vulcanization of rubber compounds before the intended curing stage.
When does it happen?
- During mixing
- During milling
- During extrusion or molding
- At elevated processing temperatures
Problems Caused by Scorch
Scorch can severely affect production:
- Difficulty in processing and shaping
- Poor surface finish
- Uneven curing
- Increased rejection rate
- Machine downtime
- Material wastage
In high-temperature environments, the risk of scorch increases significantly.
What is Accelerator MOR?
Accelerator MOR (Morpholine-based accelerator) is a delayed-action sulfenamide accelerator used in rubber vulcanization.
Key Characteristics:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Type | Delayed-action accelerator |
| Function | Controls cure rate and scorch safety |
| Processing Advantage | Longer processing time |
| Application | Tyres, industrial rubber, thick products |
MOR is designed to delay the onset of vulcanization, providing a safer processing window.
How MOR Controls Scorch Safety
Accelerator MOR works through multiple mechanisms:
1. Delayed Vulcanization Activation
MOR does not initiate curing immediately.
👉 It remains inactive during:
- Mixing
- Milling
- Shaping
👉 It activates only at higher curing temperatures.
Result:
✔ No premature curing
✔ Improved processing safety
2. Extended Processing Window
MOR provides a longer scorch time, allowing manufacturers to:
- Handle rubber safely
- Process large batches
- Work at higher temperatures
Result:
✔ Reduced risk during complex operations
3. Controlled Cure Rate
Unlike fast accelerators, MOR:
- Starts curing slowly
- Then accelerates at the right stage
Result:
✔ Uniform vulcanization
✔ Better product quality
4. Stability at High Temperature
MOR is highly effective in high-temperature processing conditions, where other accelerators may cause early scorch.
Result:
✔ Safe processing even at elevated temperatures
5. Suitable for Thick and Complex Products
In thick rubber products:
- Heat penetrates slowly
- Risk of uneven curing increases
MOR ensures:
- Controlled curing throughout
- Reduced internal defects
Comparison: MOR vs Other Accelerators
| Parameter | MOR | CBS | TBBS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scorch Safety | Very High | Moderate | High |
| Cure Speed | Moderate | Moderate | Moderate |
| Processing Window | Long | Medium | Long |
| High-Temp Stability | Excellent | Good | Good |
| Application | Thick & complex products | General use | Tyres |
👉 MOR is preferred where maximum scorch safety is required.
