  1. Santogard PVI, Flexsys’ pre-vulcanization inhibitor, would give additional flexibility in scorch control.
  2. In general all the listed accelerators can be used with diene based elastomers.

Rating: Scorch Safety VL = Very Long L = Long M = Medium S = Short VS = Very Short
Cure Rate VF = Very Fast F = Fast M = Moderate S = Slow
Modulus Development VH = Very High H = High M = Moderate S = Slow

Letter ratings shown were determined and assigned by Flexsys and are based on its judgment and evaluation of the results of tests conducted by Flexsys and the comparative performance of these materials in those tests.
