Tetramethyl Thiuram Monosulfide TMTM

TMTM is related to TMTD (discussed under Sulfur Donors, Section 10.2), except that the TMTM molecule only has one sulfur atom in the center of the molecule where TMTD possesses two sulfurs. Therefore, TMTM is used as a secondary accelerator (also called a kicker ) with a primary accelerator, but it is not a sulfur donor. TMTD, on the other hand, is used as both a sulfur donor and either a primary or secondary accelerator. [Pg.297]

TMTM and TMTD are both classified as thiuram rubber accelerators that are very fast curing. Unfortunately, they both generate nitrosamine gases during the curing process, which can pose a health risk to workers. Therefore, thiuram accelerators have decreased in use because of the nitrosamine issue. [Pg.297]

TMTM is used as both a primary and secondary accelerator for various cure packages for natural and synthetic rubber, especially polychloroprene. Sometimes TMTM imparts better scorch resistance at processing temperatures than TMTD. [Pg.299]

Other cure systems can be substituted after significant evaluations and factory trials. [Pg.299]
