Sodium dimethyldithiocarbamate (CAS 128-04-1), abbreviated SDDC, is a dithiocarbamate salt supplied primarily as an aqueous solution. Also known as Sanceler S.

Where is Sodium dimethyldithiocarbamate used?

• Water treatment: broad-spectrum biocide and heavy metal precipitant controlling microbial growth in cooling towers and industrial process water
• Effluent treatment: immobilizing dissolved metals ahead of discharge
• Rubber: ultra-fast vulcanization accelerator in latex compounding for rapid low-temperature cure
• Agriculture: active ingredient or intermediate in dithiocarbamate fungicides applied to crops
• Textile and leather processing: preservative and antifungal agent protecting goods during storage and transit
• It functions as a biocide, fungicide, and accelerator across multiple industrial sectors.

Good to know: Technical grade, with specifications aligned to industrial end-use rather than food or pharmaceutical standards.

Commercial specifications

• 40% aqueous solution; concentrations may vary by supplier and application requirement
• Solid forms available but less prevalent in commercial trade
