It gives moderate processing safety and moderately fast cures with flat plateau. The vulcanizate characteristics are similar to those obtained with MBT.In fact, MBTS can ofen be used when MBT is too scorchy.

Compounds cased on MBTS have slightly better aging and reversion resistance than corresponding ones based on sulfenamides.

It can be boosted by use of secondary accelerators to achieve a faster cure and higher modulus.
