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).

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 tetramethylthiuram disulfide used for?

Chemical synonyms: 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. It can be used:

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.

Does rhenocure® TMTD/C cause sensitization of latex compounds?

Rhenocure® TMTD/C does not cause sensitization of latex compounds. In latex compounds Rhenocure® TMTD/C must be incorporated in the form of a water-based dispersion. It is mainly used as a preservation component in natural latex.
