The mechanism of by-product formation in the reaction of a thiol antioxidant, 3,5-di-tertbutyl-4-hydroxybenzyl mercaptan (BHBM), with rubber latices is shown to involve two processes, viz dimerization of the intermediate thiyl radical to give disulphide (BHBDS) and the reaction of the intermediate q

โฆ Synopsis
The powerful antioxidant activity of 3.5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl sulphides has been shown to be due to the generation of a Lewis acid catalyst which may oestroy >3 ร 10 5 moles of hydroperoxide per mole of sulphur compound. The same catalytic species formed from a variety of benzylic sulphides and is believed to be an inorganic sulphur acid (probably SO3). Dibenzyl monosulphide itself is not initially an antioxidant and one function of the hindered phenolic group in thc auto-synergists is believed to be the removal of free radicals formed during the early stages of the reaction.

lt is shown that autosynergistic phenolic sulphides are effective non-discolouring antidegradants for vulcanised natural rubber. They are in general more effective in non-sulphur vulcanisates (peroxide and thiuram) than in the conventional polysulphide rubbers. There is evidence that the processing
