Accelerator, in the rubber industry, is added with a curing agent to speed the vulcanization. Accelerators contain sulfur and nitrogen like derivatives of benzothiazole and thiocarbanilides. The popular accelerators are sulfenamides (as a delayed-action accelerators), thiazoles, thiuram sulfides, dithocarbamates and guanidines.
ZDMC (Zinc dimethyldithiocarbamate) is a creamy-white powder for use in the rubber industry. ZDMC OT is widely used in rubber processing as an ultra accelerator for low-temperature cures, either alone or as an activator for other accelerators, chiefly the thiazoles. It can be used: Without sulphur (2 4% on the weight of the gum)
