2-Aminobenzothiazole

2-Aminobenzothiazole (CAS 136-95-8, EC 205-268-4) is a benzothiazole-derived heterocyclic compound containing both nitrogen and sulfur functional groups. It is also referenced under the names 2-Benzothiazolamine, NSC 4670, and AURORA KA-5427. No E-code applies to this substance.

In rubber and tire manufacturing, 2-aminobenzothiazole acts as a crosslinking agent by reacting with sulfur-based cure systems to form stable polymer networks that improve mechanical durability. In textile and leather processing, it functions as a dye intermediate, where its amine group participates in coupling reactions to produce colorants with strong substrate affinity.

This material is supplied as a beige to greyish powder or flakes and is subject to REACH registration requirements for EU-based procurement. Buyers should confirm grade specifications and batch documentation prior to ordering. Standard industrial packaging formats apply; contact the supplier for volume-specific options.
