N2  - The effects of three retarders-benzoic acid, N-nitrosodiphenyl amine and N-(cyclohexylthio) phthalimide-on cure characteristics, kinetic parameterrs and physical properties of thiazole and sulphenamide accelerated natural rubber compounds were evaluated.  The results indicated that the effect of the retarders depends on the type of accelerator used.  The difference in the effect of sthe retarders on scorch and cure times of the compounds is explained based on kinetic parameters of the vulcanization reaction in the presence oaf the retarders.  These observations agreed well with the already established reaction mechanisms of cure retardation
