NOBS-60 Pre-Dispersed MBTS Accelerator
NOBS-60 is a 60% dispersion of 2,2'-dithiobisbenzothiazole on a polymer carrier for even distribution in rubber mixes. Despite the dispersion, the active ingredient's benzothiazole structure qualifies it under this tariff item, provided the carrier does not render it particularly suitable for specific use.
