Ethylene Thiourea (ETU) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- ETU
- 2-Imidazolidinethione
- 2-Mercaptoimidazoline
Ethylene thiourea supplier for rubber compounders and automotive part manufacturers in Malaysia. Ethylene thiourea, abbreviated ETU and also named 2-imidazolidinethione, is a cyclic thiourea accelerator used chiefly in polychloroprene vulcanisation systems.
Rubber grade and fine powder forms can be requested against the dispersion needs of the mixing line. The material is a white crystalline powder that is soluble in water.
Polychloroprene, chlorosulphonated polyethylene and epichlorohydrin compounds for hoses, belts, seals, cable jacketing and vibration parts each set their own particle size and purity requirements. State the elastomer, cure system and quantity so the quoted grade fits the compound.
For an ETU quotation, state the rubber or fine-powder grade, particle and purity specification, elastomer and cure system, quantity and delivery location. Available powder packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed for that compound requirement. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.

Common questions about ethylene thiourea
What is ethylene thiourea used for?
Ethylene thiourea, abbreviated ETU and also named 2-imidazolidinethione, is a vulcanisation accelerator used mainly in polychloroprene rubber compounds, with related use in CSM and ECO elastomer systems.
Is ETU the same as thiourea?
ETU is ethylene thiourea, the same material covered on this page. Thiourea itself is a different compound with different applications, so if your process names thiourea, send a separate enquiry for it.
Which ethylene thiourea grade should I request?
Rubber grade and fine powder grades differ mainly in particle size and dispersion behaviour. Include the compound type and mixing method with the enquiry so the correct form can be quoted.
What packing is ethylene thiourea supplied in?
State the rubber or fine-powder grade, order quantity and preferred handling format. Available moisture-protective powder packing and product documentation are confirmed with the ETU quotation.
How is ethylene thiourea priced for Malaysian buyers?
Particle grade, purity and dispersion requirements, quantity, packing and delivery location determine the ETU quotation basis. The offer states the price validity period for that requirement.
