Abstract

A thiocarbamoyldisulfanyl-functional cycloaliphatic compound, useful as a crosslinker for filled sulfur-vulcanizable elastomer compositions, is represented by the general formula:G[-CaH2a—S—S—C(═S)NR2]n wherein G is a saturated, monocyclic aliphatic group of valence n containing from 5 to 12 carbon atoms and optionally containing at least one halogen or a saturated monocyclic silicone [RSiO—]n[R2SiO—]p group of valence n; each R independently is a hydrogen or a monovalent hydrocarbon of up to 20 carbon atoms; each occurrence of subscripts a independently is an integer wherein a is 2 to 6; n is an integer of from 3 to 6; and, p is an integer of from 0 to 3.
