Accicure TMTM
CAS Number: 97-74-5
Composition: Tetramethyl thiuram monosulphide
Appearance: Lemon yellow powder
Sp.Gr.: 1.38
Application:
1) It is a fast accelerator often used as a booster for good processing safety in comparison with other thiurams.
2) Unlike thiuram disulphides, the monosulphides do not produce satisfactory cures in complete absence of
elemental sulphur.
3) Typical dosage: 0.2 – 0.5 phr.
4) In polychloroprene rubbers, Accicure TMTM (1.0 phr) used with DPG or DOTG (1.0 phr) and sulphur (0.5 phr)
gives a curing system which is a useful alternative to ethylene thiourea (ETU).
5) It offers better processing safety with similar curing activity.
