Rubber accelerator refers to rubber vulcanization accelerator, which can accelerate the cross-linking reaction between vulcanizing agent and rubber molecules, thus achieving the effect of shortening vulcanization time and reducing vulcanization temperature.
From the perspective of the industry chain, the upstream of the rubber accelerator industry is mainly aniline, carbon disulfide, sulfur, liquid alkali, chlorine and other raw material suppliers, the midstream is the production and supply of rubber accelerators, while the downstream application demand is mainly concentrated in the field of tires, tapes, hoses, wires and cables, rubber shoes and other rubber products.
Take Thailand as an example, the development of Thailand rubber accelerator market is influenced by the local tire industry. Thailand is the world's largest producer and exporter of natural rubber, with more than 4 million hectares of rubber plantation area and an annual rubber production of more than 4 million tons.
From the demand side, Thailand is the world's fifth largest automotive market, and is also the most important automotive sales and production country in Asia, in addition to China, Japan and South Korea.
The sufficient supply of upstream rubber resources and the rapid development of the downstream automobile industry have created favorable development conditions for Thailand's tire industry, which has also released the demand for rubber accelerator market applications.
