Zinc Diethyldithiocarbamate

Zinc Diethyldithiocarbamate (CAS 14324-55-1 ), commercially known as ZDEC, is a zinc-based dithiocarbamate compound used as an accelerator, biocide, and fungicide across rubber processing and agriculture. Its dual function as both a chemical accelerator and a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent makes it relevant across several industrial supply chains and preservation applications. In rubber and tire manufacturing, ZDEC acts as an ultra-fast vulcanization accelerator, reducing cure times and improving crosslink density in latex and dry rubber compounds. In agriculture, it serves as an active ingredient in fungicide formulations targeting crop pathogens, particularly in foliar sprays and seed treatments for various crops. Water treatment and industrial preservation systems use ZDEC as a biocide to control microbial growth in process water, cooling circuits, and specialized industrial coatings. Textile and leather processing operations apply it as a preservative and antifungal agent to protect finished goods and intermediate materials during storage and transit. ZDEC is supplied as a white to off-white powder and as a dispersion or emulsion for latex-compatible processing. Standard grades include technical-grade powder and pre-dispersed masterbatch forms. Purity specifications typically range from 95% to 98% for technical applications, with particle size and dispersion consistency being key procurement parameters for rubber and latex end users.
