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. It can be used: In conjunction with accelerators such as mercaptobenzothiazole (0.25 – 0.5 TMTD on the weight of the gum).

Does TMTD require sulfur?

Sulfur is not required but is often used. It is widely used as a primary accelerator for curing systems requiring very low or no sulfur. TMTD is often used to activate thiazole or sulfenamide cure systems. Accelerator TMTD is also available in a pellet form and micro granules (MG) to reduce dusting. TMTD contains 13% available sulfur.

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 accelerator TMTD?

Accelerator TMTD is also available in a pellet form and micro granules (MG) to reduce dusting. TMTD contains 13% available sulfur. Improved scorch resistance can be obtained in TMTD stocks by the use of the thiazole or sulfenamide accelerators as a primary accelerators. TMTD is an off-white to light gray in color. 144 0.30 0.40 1.43 144 —- 0.50

How does rhenogran TMTD work?

Rhenogran TMTD receives an additional activation from basic accelerators, e.g. aldehyde-amine and guanidine. Rhenogran TMTD is used as a primary accelerator in combination with sulfur, as a secondary accelerator in conjunction with thiazoles and as a curing agent without sulfur.

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.
