Description
Zinc diethyldithiocarbamate (CAS 14324-55-1) is an organozinc compound commercially known under trade names including Ancazate ET, Ethyl Ziram, Ethyl Zimate, Vulkacit ZDK, and Accelerator ZDC. Abbreviated as ZDEC or ZDC, it carries no assigned E-code and is registered under EC number 238-270-9.
In rubber vulcanisation, ZDEC functions as an ultra-accelerator, activating sulfur crosslinking at lower temperatures and shorter cure times to improve throughput and compound consistency. It also serves as a biocidal active in water treatment and textile processing, where its dithiocarbamate ligand disrupts microbial enzyme function to control bacterial and fungal growth.
ZDEC is supplied as a technical-grade solid and is subject to REACH registration requirements within the European Economic Area. It is classified under HS code 29302000 for customs purposes. Buyers should confirm current SDS documentation and any applicable biocidal product authorisations under EU BPR before procurement.
