Zinc dibenzyldithiocarbamate

Zinc dibenzyldithiocarbamate (CAS 14726-36-4) is an organometallic dithiocarbamate compound supplied as a white powder, commonly identified by the abbreviations ZBDC and ZBEC. It is sold under trade names including Vulkacit ZBEC, Rhenogran ZBEC 70, Benzyl Zimate, and Nocceler ZTC. No E-code designation applies to this substance.

In rubber compounding, ZBDC functions as a secondary accelerator that activates sulfur crosslinking at lower cure temperatures, reducing scorching risk while maintaining network density. It is used in natural and synthetic rubber formulations for tire components, seals, and technical rubber goods where controlled cure rate and low nitrosamine generation are process requirements.

ZBDC is available in powder form and as pre-dispersed grades such as Rhenogran ZBEC 70. The substance falls under REACH registration requirements for EU supply. Procurement teams should confirm supplier SDS documentation and confirm compliance status prior to import or formulation use. HS code 29302000 applies.
