ACCELERATORS
General information
Accelerators are used during the synthesis of the rubber, to increase the rate & decrease
the time of the vulcanisation step.

ALKYLPHENOLS
General Information
Nonyphenols (NPs) are a family of compounds made of a phenol ring linked to a straight or
branched nonyl goup (chain of nine carbon atoms). Their general formula is
C6H4(OH)C9H19.
NPs are subjected to ethoxylation (addition of ethoxy groups –CH2-CH2-0- on the alcohol
group) to give Nonyphenol ethoxylates (NPEOs), whose general formula is
(C2H4O)nC15H24O. NPEOs belong to the larger group of compounds known as APEOs:
alkylphenol ethoxylates.
Other dangerous APEOs are the octylphenols ethoxylates (OPEOs) which have same
characteristics as the NPEOs. NPEOs are a group of man-made chemicals (not naturally
present in the environment). They are most widely used as industrial detergents, wetting
agents, emulsifiers, foaming agents, and dispersants.
N.B:
Currently, in Europe for most of their former uses NPEOs have now been
replaced by fatty alcohol ethoxylates, which are safer.
Toxicology
NPEOs are easily degradable in the environment, its breakdown product being NPs.
