ZDBC Accelerator
ZDBC Accelerator (Zinc Dibutyldithiocarbamate) is a fast-curing accelerator for natural and synthetic rubbers, widely used in various industrial applications.
Description
ZDBC Accelerator, with CAS number 136-23-2 and chemical formula C18H36N2S4Zn, is a highly effective primary or secondary accelerator for the vulcanization of natural rubber, SBR, NBR, EPDM, and other diene rubbers. It exhibits a very fast cure rate, offering excellent processing safety and good scorch resistance when used appropriately. ZDBC functions by forming active complexes that facilitate the cross-linking of polymer chains, leading to improved tensile strength, modulus, and elongation properties of the final rubber product. It is often employed in combination with other accelerators, such as thiazoles or sulfenamides, to achieve tailored cure characteristics. Its low toxicity profile and non-staining properties make it suitable for a broad range of products, including those requiring aesthetic integrity. The chemical structure, zinc dibutyldithiocarbamate, provides a robust and reliable accelerator system, contributing to enhanced product performance and production efficiency in diverse rubber compounding formulations.
Applications
ZDBC Accelerator finds extensive use in the manufacturing of a wide array of rubber products. It is particularly valued in the production of bright-colored and transparent rubber articles due to its non-staining and non-discoloring characteristics. Key applications include the automotive industry for seals, gaskets, and hoses; pharmaceutical and medical industries for stoppers and diaphragms; consumer goods such as footwear soles and household gloves; and general industrial rubber goods like conveyor belts, electrical insulation, and various molded or extruded parts. Its fast cure rate and good scorch resistance are beneficial in high-volume production processes.
Storage & Handling
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and incompatible materials. Keep containers tightly closed. Avoid inhalation of dust and contact with skin and eyes. Ensure adequate ventilation during handling. Practice good industrial hygiene.
