Uses

Rubber industry: 2-Mercaptobenzimidazole is the main non-polluting antioxidant in the rubber industry. It can reduce the discoloration of rubber during vulcanization. It is suitable for the manufacture of transparent, white and bright-colored products, as well as heat-resistant and foam products. It can also be used in natural rubber, butadiene rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, nitrile rubber and latex.
Electroplating field: It can be used as a copper plating brightener when dissolved in alkaline solution. It can make the coating bright, has a leveling effect, and can increase the working current density. It is often used in combination with N, SPS, etc.
Medical field: It is a new anti-leprosy drug with lower toxicity than sulfone drugs. It can be used for patients who are not suitable for sulfone drugs. It is also an important intermediate for the preparation of proton pump inhibitors such as lansoprazole and rabeprazole.
Other aspects: It can be used as a sensitive reagent for the determination of gold, bismuth, cadmium, cobalt, mercury, nickel, lead, thallium and zinc and a rubber accelerator.
