1.1 本试验方法包括2-巯基苯并噻唑（MBT）的测定程序。它基于用氢氧化钠对MBT进行电位滴定。 1.2 测定以质量百分比计。 1.3 以国际单位制表示的数值应视为标准。本标准中不包括其他计量单位。 1.4 本标准并非旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的使用者有责任在使用前制定适当的安全、健康和环境实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 1.5 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认的标准化原则制定的。 ===意义和用途====== 4.1 MBT通常用作橡胶和胶乳硫化的促进剂。MBT的纯度在预测橡胶化合物的性能方面可能很重要，该测试方法旨在评估MBT的纯洁性。 4.2 这种测试方法可以用作质量控制工具和研发工作。

1.1 This test method covers a procedure for the assay of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT). It is based on a potentiometric titration of MBT with sodium hydroxide. 1.2 The assay is determined as percent by mass. 1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard. 1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. ====== Significance And Use ====== 4.1 MBT is commonly used as an accelerator for rubber and latex vulcanization. The purity of MBT may be of importance in predicting performance in rubber compounds and this test method is designed to assess the purity of MBT. 4.2 This test method may be used as a quality control tool and for research and development work.
