HVA-2 (N,N’-m-Phenylenedimaleimide) Rubber Curing Agent – Technical Information

HVA-2 rubber curing agent powder in industrial packaging
Product Overview

HVA-2 is a bismaleimide-based multi-functional rubber chemical, chemically identified as N,N’-m-phenylenedimaleimide (also written as N,N’-1,3-phenylenedimaleimide), CAS No. 3006-93-7. HVA-2 functions as a curing agent, coagent for peroxide-cured systems, anti-scorch agent, and adhesion promoter across a wide range of elastomer types. It is compatible with both general-purpose and specialty rubber systems, including ethylene-based, acrylate-based, and chlorinated/chlorosulfonated elastomers. It is widely used across rubber compounding, tire manufacturing, cable insulation, and molded rubber component industries.

Key Benefits
  • Compatible with a wide variety of elastomer systems
  • Supports fast and consistent cure rates
  • Improves resistance to heat aging
  • Provides excellent resistance to compression set
  • Offers improved processing safety compared to certain conventional curing systems
  • Disperses easily in rubber compounds
  • Non-staining and non-discoloring in the cured compound
  • Helps reduce peroxide dosage requirements in peroxide-cured systems
  • Can help improve adhesion between rubber and reinforcing cord/steel wire
  • Sulfur-free option, relevant for cable compounds where copper contact is a concern
Applications
  • Curing agent / coagent in EPDM, EPM, EVA, EOM, ECO, CR, CSM, NR, CPE, FKM, ACM, AEM, NBR, SBR, IR, IIR, and silicone rubber systems
  • O-rings, gaskets, and molded seal components
  • Compression, injection, and transfer molding processes
  • Extrusion-based rubber processing
  • Tire component manufacturing, including shoulder and buffer layer compounds in load-carrying tires
  • Cable and wire insulation compounds (sulfur-free curing systems)
  • General rubber-plastic blend systems
Recommended Dosage

Based on consolidated industry datasheets, typical dosage ranges (in phr, parts per hundred rubber) reported are:

  • As anti-scorch agent: 0.5–1.0 phr
  • As a vulcanizing agent: 2–3 phr
  • To improve compression set: approximately 1.5 phr
  • To improve adhesion/bonding strength: 0.5–5.0 phr

Recommended dosage may vary based on formulation and processing conditions. Users should verify dosage before commercial use.

Available Pack Sizes
  • Standard Pack: 25 kg
  • Repacked: 1 kg (specially for trial and R&D purposes)
  • Pan-India delivery available; we have tie-ups with all major couriers and transporters for reliable nationwide dispatch.
Storage Conditions

Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use and away from sources of heat or ignition. Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents. Use standard industrial handling precautions, including appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, dust mask/respirator, and eye protection), particularly when handling powder form. Refer to the product SDS for complete handling and safety information.
