Rhenocure® ZDEC is an ultra accelerator suitable for all curing processes. Composition: Zinc diethyldithiocarbamate (ZDEC)
Density: Approx. 1.48 g/cm³
Appearance: White to yellowish powder
Rhenocure® ZDEC is an ultra accelerator suitable for all curing processes (press,
steam, hot air, LCM, CV). It can be employed as primary or secondary accelerator in
NR, SBR, BR, NBR, IIR and EPDM, including solutions and latices.
Rhenocure® ZDEC is most commonly employed as a secondary or booster
accelerator for thiazole and sulfenamide cure systems where a high cure speed is
demanded. It is used in a wide range of applications particulary in extruded goods.
Rhenocure® ZDEC is also widely used in latex products including threads and dipped
goods.
Processing: Rhenocure® ZDEC is easily dispersed in rubber compounds. It does not decompose
even at high temperature unless sulfur is present. Rhenocure® ZDEC does shorten
the scorch times of compounds to which it is added. Its compounds exhibit a
narrow vulcanization plateau and are subject to reversion if vulcanization is at high
temperature.
