Zinc Dibutyldithiocarbamate (ZDBC) Supplier Malaysia
- Also known as
- ZDBC
- Zinc Dibutyl Dithiocarbamate
- Zinc Bis(dibutyldithiocarbamate)
- Accelerator BZ
Zinc dibutyldithiocarbamate is purchased under the abbreviations ZDBC and accelerator BZ for rubber and latex cure packages. The dibutyl identity is the important starting point: it is a separate compound from ZDEC, ZDMC and thiuram accelerators even though several are used in adjacent processing work.
Commercial enquiries may call for conventional fine powder, a grade intended for preparation of latex dispersions, or granulated material for a plant that wants easier transfer and feeding. The relevant controls include accelerator content, ash, moisture, sieve residue, granule distribution and dispersion behaviour rather than one universal specification.
Buyers use ZDBC in established natural and synthetic rubber formulations for moulded, extruded and calendered goods, and in selected latex, foam and dipped products. Hoses, belts, seals, vibration-control parts and elastomer-based adhesives should be matched to their approved recipe, not to a generic accelerator description.
For a quotation, state ZDBC or accelerator BZ, the powder, dispersion-oriented or granulated form, specification, manufacturing process, quantity and delivery location. The offered presentation, packing, documentation, availability and timing are then confirmed in the quotation.

Zinc Dibutyldithiocarbamate grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Conventional ZDBC powder | white to light yellow fine powder | accelerator content, ash, moisture and sieve limits confirmed against the quoted grade | Batch-weighed natural and synthetic rubber compounds that identify ZDBC or accelerator BZ in the written formulation and can handle a fine powder. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Fine-dispersion ZDBC grade | fine powder for latex compounding | accelerator content, fineness, dispersion behaviour and moisture limits confirmed against the quoted grade | Preparation of accelerator dispersions for latex articles, foam and dipped products where wetting and particle control matter to the mixing method. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Granulated ZDBC | free-flowing granules | accelerator content, granule distribution, dust and moisture limits confirmed against the quoted grade | Enclosed weigh-up, transfer or automated feeding where the plant prefers a free-flowing presentation over loose accelerator powder. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Common questions about zinc dibutyldithiocarbamate
What does ZDBC mean on a rubber formulation?
ZDBC is the standard abbreviation for zinc dibutyldithiocarbamate. It tells the buyer which zinc dithiocarbamate identity the cure package requires; the abbreviation should be carried into the enquiry with the compound or latex application and presentation needed.
Is accelerator BZ another name for ZDBC?
Yes. Accelerator BZ is a trade designation used for the dibutyl product. State the full chemical name or ZDBC as well, because a short accelerator code alone can be misread when several cure chemicals are purchased.
Should I request ZDBC powder or granules?
Choose according to the plant's weigh-up and feeding method. Conventional powder suits manual or batch addition where fine material is accepted; granulated material is requested when transfer, dust control or automated feeding calls for a free-flowing form.
What should a latex buyer specify for ZDBC?
Include the latex type, article, dispersion-preparation method, required fineness or sieve control and any process-specific residue limits. These details distinguish a fine-dispersion requirement from a general dry-rubber powder enquiry.
Can ZDBC be replaced with ZDEC or ZDMC?
Not by name similarity alone. ZDBC, ZDEC and ZDMC contain different organic groups and belong to separate formulation identities. Any substitution must be assessed against the established compound recipe and processing result.
What information is needed to quote zinc dibutyldithiocarbamate?
Send the ZDBC name or accelerator BZ code, requested presentation, accelerator-content and physical controls, end process, quantity and delivery location. Add the required documentation to the same enquiry.
