  • Applications

    Zinc dibutyldithiocarbamate (CAS 136-23-2) is used primarily as a vulcanization accelerator for natural and synthetic rubber, improving cure rate and crosslinking efficiency. It also acts as a scorch retarder and processing stabilizer in rubber compounds, supporting processing safety and dimensional stability during curing. In plastics and polymers, it serves as a heat stabilizer and antioxidant for materials such as PVC and polyolefins, reducing thermal-oxidative degradation during processing and service life. It functions as a processing additive and stabilizer in polymer formulations, aiding processing and long-term performance. Additionally, it is employed as an intermediate in the synthesis of other dithiocarbamate-based additives.
