Antioxidant MBZ (Zinc 2-Mercaptobenzimidazole)

CAS Number: 3030-80-6

Zinc 2-Mercaptobenzimidazole (MBZ) is a non-staining antioxidant of the benzimidazole family that provides excellent protection against thermal oxidation and copper-catalyzed degradation in rubber compounds. It is particularly effective in NR, SBR, NBR, and EPDM compounds where metal ion contamination is a concern. MBZ is often used in combination with TMQ for a synergistic antioxidant effect.
