However, in some special cases, for example, when sulfur donors such as thiuram disulfide or polysulfide are used as vulcanizing agents, it has the function of active agent; thiourea accelerators are almost special accelerators for chloroprene rubber. The vulcanizate with good properties such as tensile strength, constant elongation stress and compression set can be obtained.
