One of Tetramethylthiuram Disulfide (TMTD)'s most important characteristics is its ability to promote rapid vulcanization while simultaneously supplying chemically bound sulfur for crosslink formation.
This enables the formulation of efficient low-sulfur or sulfur-free vulcanization systems that produce excellent heat resistance and reduced reversion.
Tetramethylthiuram Disulfide (TMTD) exhibits excellent compatibility with natural rubber (NR), styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), nitrile rubber (NBR), butadiene rubber (BR), chloroprene rubber (CR), and numerous sulfur-curable elastomers.
Tetramethylthiuram Disulfide (TMTD) is frequently combined with benzothiazole accelerators such as MBT, MBTS, or CBS to optimize cure speed, scorch safety, and crosslink structure.
