Perkacit TMTD
Tetramethylthiuram disulfide
137-26-8
Perkacit TMTD is used as a primary or secondary (ultra) accelerator in multiple blend accelerator systems with thiazoles and sulfenamides. It is also used as a vulcanizing agent (sulfur donor) in most of the sulfur cured elastomers.
- Perkacit TMTD offers fast vulcanization and gives an excellent vulcanization plateau with good heat aging and compression set resistance when used in sulfurless vulcanization systems and EV systems.
- In EPDM Perkacit TMTD is a valuable secondary accelerator.
- In mercaptan modified polychloroprene cured with ETU, Perkacit TMTD acts as a scorch retarder
without affecting the cure speed.
- Perkacit TMTD-pdr is recommended over pdr-s for use in soft compounds due to dispersability.
- Perkacit TMTD is non-staining and non-discoloring. Excellent colors are obtained in non-black
vulcanizates.
- It should be noted that in the application of Perkacit TMTD N-nitrosodimethylamine can be formed by the reaction of dimethylamine, a decomposition product, with nitrosating agents (nitrogen oxides).
- Perkacit TMTD is regulated for use in articles in contact with food as specified under FDA 21 CFR 177.2600, 175.105 and under BgVV XXI, Categories 1-4 and "Sonderkategorie".
