What is Zinc dibutyldithiocarbamate?
Zinc dibutyldithiocarbamate (CAS 136-23-2), commonly known as ZDBC, is an organozinc compound used as a secondary accelerator in rubber vulcanization and as a stabilizer in polymer processing.
Where is Zinc dibutyldithiocarbamate used?
- Rubber manufacturing: ultra-accelerator
- Natural and synthetic rubber, latex goods, footwear and industrial seals: consistent cure rates
- Tires and technical rubber: combined with primary accelerators such as sulfenamides to fine-tune scorch safety and crosslink density
- Plastics processing: stabilizer and catalyst precursor in polymerization systems requiring zinc-based coordination chemistry
- Personal care: preservation-active ingredient in rinse-off and leave-on systems, subject to regional regulatory compliance and safety standards
Commercial specifications
- High active content, typically 98% or above
