The solubility and the volatile product yields after oxidation from rubber vulcanized, with sulfur accelerated with an MBT‐selfenamide have been compared with the same quantities for peroxide and TMTD vulcanizates. No significant difference was found. It is concluded that the chain scission mechanism is independent of the nature of the crosslinking.
