Zinc Dimethyl Dithiocarbamate (ZDMC), also known as Ziram, is a high-purity Technical Grade chemical utilized both as a rubber ultra-accelerator and a protective fungicide. Its 97% min purity ensures high reactivity and consistent chemical performance in diverse industrial media.

In the rubber industry, ZDMC is valued as one of the fastest-acting dithiocarbamate accelerators, suitable for low-temperature vulcanization. It produces vulcanizates with high tensile strength and superior resistance to oxidation and aging.

In agriculture, it functions as a highly effective broad-spectrum fungicide, preventing fungal growth on fruits and vegetables. Its dual-purpose nature makes it a vital commodity in both the manufacturing and agricultural sectors.

Zinc Dimethyl Dithiocarbamate (ZDMC)
  • Fungicidal Agent: Applied in agriculture to prevent scab, rot, and mildew on nut crops and fruits.
  • Rubber Ultra-Acceleration: Used for the fast curing of latex products and rubber-based adhesives at low temperatures.
  • Antiseptic Coatings: Incorporated into industrial paints and coatings to prevent microbial degradation.

Classified as Acute Toxic 2 (Inhalation) and Aquatic Chronic 1. Extremely hazardous if inhaled; use a Full-Face Respirator and Chemical Protective Suit.

25 kg bags or industrial IBC tanks for liquid dispersions.
