Application of THIS-8601 in the Rubber Thread Industry

Application of THIS-8601 (Hepteen Base Type, Heptanal–Aniline Condensate)

in the Rubber Thread Industry

We specializes in the development and production of aldehyde–amine condensation accelerators.
Among them, THIS-8601 is a highly efficient, safe, and eco-friendly liquid accelerator that is widely used in rubber thread production and related elastic product applications.

Product Overview

THIS-8601 is a Heptanal–Aniline Condensate. It is also known as a liquid accelerator for rubber thread (Hepteen Base). For simplicity, it will be referred to as "Hepteen Base" in the following text.
It appears as a reddish-brown transparent liquid with good flowability and storage stability.
With its high flash point (>150°C) and low odor, Hepteen Base is a high-performance and environmentally friendly accelerator.

In natural latex systems, Hepteen Base effectively promotes the vulcanization process, accelerates crosslinking, and improves the physical properties of rubber threads.

Features and Advantages

· Fast vulcanization speed, significantly improving production efficiency;

· Uniform crosslinking with excellent elasticity and smooth, non-sticky thread surface;

· High flash point (Open Cup 160°C), ensuring safe operation and storage;

· Low odor and low volatility, providing a cleaner production environment;

· Excellent synergistic effect when used with ZDC, ZDBC, and ZMBT accelerators.

Application in Rubber Thread Production

During rubber thread manufacturing, Hepteen Base is used as the main liquid accelerator.
It enables fast crosslinking at lower vulcanization temperatures, improving tensile strength, elasticity, and aging resistance of the thread.

Currently, major rubber thread production bases in Thailand, India, and Vietnam commonly use similar aldehyde–amine type accelerator systems such as “Hepteen Base” in their formulations.

Rubber threads produced with THIS-8601 (Hepteen Base Type, Heptanal–Aniline Condensate) demonstrate the following in actual industrial applications:

· More stable tensile performance;

· Better surface gloss and reduced thread breakage;

· Excellent long-term storage stability;

· Superior elasticity retention after knitting and heat-setting processes.

Application Fields

As a deeply processed natural rubber product, rubber thread plays a vital role in the global elastic materials industry.
Elastic tapes and rubber threads made from natural latex are widely used in:

· Elastic bands in lingerie, underwear, and shapewear;

· Waistbands and edge tapes in swimwear and sportswear;

· Sock tops, cuffs, waistbands, and headbands;

· Elastic parts in diapers and medical compression products;

· Other soft and stretchable textile accessories and household goods.

These applications have been widely adopted by factories worldwide.
Many leading rubber thread manufacturers supply products to the lingerie, shapewear, and sportswear industries on a long-term basis.

Conclusion

THIS-8601 (Hepteen Base Type, Heptanal–Aniline Condensate) is a stable and efficient liquid accelerator that meets the rubber thread industry's combined requirements for high productivity, low odor, and excellent elasticity.
It provides reliable vulcanization performance and consistent quality assurance for rubber thread and downstream elastic products.
