Polysulfide compounds and vulcanization compositions containing the polysulfide compounds, for use in vulcanizing rubbers, are disclosed, with the polysulfide compounds being of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 -R.sup.4 are each, independently, hydrogen or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl and n is 2 to 10 wherein the polysulfide compounds can be used alone or in a vulcanization composition containing the polysulfide compound, sulfur, one or more additional accelerators, one or more basic compounds and, optionally, conventional rubber additives, to provide vulcanized products with improved reversion stability and ageing stability.

Bis-(thiobenzoyldisulfido)-alkanes

An unsaturated, elastomeric ABC block copolymer comprised of the monomer units of 40 to 80% of 1,3-butadiene, 5 to 40% of isoprene and 2 to 30% of styrene, said copolymer comprising i) 40 to 75% of block A which contains styrene and butadiene units or isoprene and butadiene units with a content of distributed vinyl or isopropenyl groups of less than 15%, iia) up to 25% of a block B which contains styrene and butadiene units or isoprene and butadiene units with a vinyl or isopropenyl content of more than 70%, or iib) up to 25% of a block B' which contains styrene, isoprene and optionally butadiene units with a content of homogeneously distributed isopropenyl or vinyl groups of less than 15%, and iii) 20 to 55% of a block C which contains styrene and isoprene units and optionally butadiene units with an isopropenyl or vinyl content of more than 70%.
