Product Description: Accelerator ZBED is an active form of Zinc Dithiocarbamate, which can be modified by MBT or MBTS, etc. It is non-staining and non-discoloring and is safer processing than Zinc Dibutyl Dithiocarbamate. In latex it is less likely to cause pre-cure at room temperature than other dithiocarbamates. However, ZBED is a typical Ultra-Accelerator at normal curing temperatures. It is also useful as a secondary accelerator for the continuous vulcanization of butyl rubber extrusions. ZBED has found usefulness in minimizing harmful nitrosoamines. The N-Nitroso dibenzylamine produced during cure is relatively non-extractable, non-volatile, and has been found to be noncarcinogenic. Zinc dibenzyl dithiocarbamate has compliance with FDA Regulation CFR 21 Part 177.2600.Information provided by Akrochem Corporation |
