ZDC is a very fast curing, but too scorchy for extensive use as the sole accelerator in dry rubber compounds.It imparts high modulus to unfilled NR vulcanite, fast curing and confers good ageing properties. It gives absolutely non-staining vulcanite, free from odour and taste. A major use of ZDC in dry rubber is as a booster accelerator to speed up the thiaxzoles and sulphenamides based system, giving fast curing yet reasonably safe combinations. Mixtures of ZDC and TMT are valuable as fast curing accelerators for butyl rubber. It is also very useful for transparent rubber formulations.

This very active accelerator is extremely popular for a wide range of latex applications. Although it is insolvable in wate, high quality dispersions are easily prepared and used in latex foam rubber, dipped goods, latex thread and various types of latex products.

ZIRAM is a protective fungicide for use on fruit and vegetable crops against alternaria dn septoria spp. It is non-phytotoxic except to zinc sensitive plants and has also been used as a repellent to birds and rodents. Its major use of course in the manufacture of the Ziram fungicide.

MBT is used as a bio-cide in paper, pulp, water based paints, water based cutting oils and water treatment chemicals.

TMTD can be used alone or in combination with other accelerators for pale and brilliantly coloured rubber goods without taste, good in contact with food and drugs, dipped goods, proofed fabrics and all other kinds of mechanical goods.

TMTD in combination with other suitable accelerators, yields relatively faster curing compounds based on SBR., Nitrile Neoprene and Butyl rubbers, which are inherently slower curing polymers than NR.
