What is TMTD used for?

TMTD is widely used in rubber processing as an ultra accelerator for low-temperature cures, either alone or as an activator for other accelerators, chiefly the thiazoles. With sulphur in conjunction with zinc oxide and fatty acid as activators (0.1 – 1% TMTD on the weight of the gum),

What is tetramethylthiuram disulfide used for?

Tetramethylthiuram disulfide, Bis (dimethyldithiocarbamoyl) disulfide, Thiram, Thiuram TMTD is widely used in rubber processing as an ultra accelerator for low-temperature cures, either alone or as an activator for other accelerators, chiefly the thiazoles.

What is Westco TMTD?

WESTCO™ TMTD is the most widely used among ultra-accelerators in natural and synthetic rubber; acts as a retarder for CR; an effective accelerator for low temperature cures. Rubber curing accelerator with super anti-scorching and short curing time features. Used in manufacture of tires, shoes, tubes, cable, etc.

What is rhenocure TMTD/C?

Rhenocure® TMTD/C is a non-discoloring ultra accelerator and sulfur donor suitable for conventional curing processes. Rhenocure® TMTD/C is a non-discoloring ultra accelerator suitable for conventional curing processes (press, steam and hot air). It can be used in NR, IR, BR, SBR, NBR, CR and EPDM.

Does rhenocure TMTD/C decompose?

Rhenocure® TMTD/C is easy to disperse in rubber compounds. There is no risk of decomposition during mixing in the absence of sulfur. The presence of zinc oxide is essential for the correct functioning of Rhenocure® TMTD/C. In most applications stearic acid is needed as well. Rhenocure® TMTD/C does not cause sensitization of latex compounds.

How to store dimacit TMTD?

Inorganic acids break down Dimacit TMTD into carbon disulfide and hydrogen sulphide. Store in dry well-ventilated place away from foodstuffs. No reduction in the assay of the active substance has been observed after storage for 2 years in the original packing under normal conditions. Protect against acids and substances liberating acids.
