What is Copper dimethyldithiocarbamate?
Copper dimethyldithiocarbamate (CAS 137-29-1), commercially known as Cumate, is a copper-based dithiocarbamate compound used as both a rubber accelerator and a biocidal preservative.
Where is Copper dimethyldithiocarbamate used?
- Rubber compounding: secondary ultra-accelerator for sulfur vulcanization at low temperatures
- Latex systems and thin-walled rubber goods: fast cure rates
- Textile and leather processing: preservative treatment against fungal and microbial degradation during storage and transit
- Agricultural formulations: fungicide active ingredient targeting crop pathogens
- Paper manufacturing: mill process water treatment and slimicide controlling microbial growth
- It protects pulp quality and equipment performance.
Commercial specifications
- Purity confirmed by active copper content assays
- Dithiocarbamate content assays verify quality
- Bulk and drummed packaging for industrial procurement volumes
