Zinc Diethyldithiocarbamate (ZDEC) Supplier Malaysia
- Also known as
- ZDEC
- Zinc Diethyl Dithiocarbamate
- Zinc Bis(diethyldithiocarbamate)
- Accelerator EZ
Zinc diethyldithiocarbamate supplier for rubber and latex manufacturers in Malaysia. Also called ZDEC, zinc diethyl dithiocarbamate or accelerator EZ, it is a white to pale yellow dithiocarbamate accelerator supplied as powder or free-flowing granules.
Powder grade is used for conventional dry addition, while low-dust granules are selected where transfer and metering behaviour matter. Latex fast-accelerator grades cover foam, dipped goods and other aqueous rubber systems. Active content, ash, moisture, particle size and dispersion behaviour are confirmed against the required grade.
Rubber compounders use ZDEC as a rapid-acting accelerator alongside sulphur and zinc oxide in natural and synthetic rubber. Tyres, hoses, belts, seals, cable goods, coated textiles and other technical products can require a defined diethyldithiocarbamate cure package. ZDEC is not the same as ZDBC, ZDMC or TMTD.
Send the required form, rubber or latex application, cure specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation, delivery arrangements and timing are confirmed with the quotation for the selected accelerator grade.

Zinc Diethyldithiocarbamate 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rubber accelerator powder grade | white to pale yellow fine powder | active accelerator, ash, moisture and particle-size limits confirmed against the quoted grade | Fast accelerator for dry natural and synthetic rubber compounds where ZDEC is named in the cure package and a powder presentation is required. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Latex fast-accelerator grade | fine powder for latex compounding | active content, dispersion behaviour and moisture limits confirmed against the quoted grade | Natural-rubber latex, foam and dipped-goods formulations that require a rapid-acting zinc diethyldithiocarbamate accelerator. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Low-dust granular zinc diethyldithiocarbamate | free-flowing granules | active content, granule size, dust and moisture limits confirmed against the quoted grade | Rubber mixing and dosing lines that prefer a granular presentation for cleaner transfer and repeatable dry addition. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Common questions about zinc diethyldithiocarbamate
What is zinc diethyldithiocarbamate used for?
ZDEC is a fast dithiocarbamate accelerator used in natural-rubber and synthetic-rubber compounding, especially latex, foam, dipped goods, tyres, hoses and technical rubber products. The exact cure package should name the accelerator and grade.
How does zinc diethyldithiocarbamate differ from zinc dibutyldithiocarbamate?
They are separate accelerator identities with different organic groups and cure behaviour. ZDEC is the diethyl material, while zinc dibutyldithiocarbamate is ZDBC; do not substitute one for the other without checking the compound formulation, scorch behaviour and processing requirements.
Why is ZDEC common in latex compounding?
Latex formulations may select ZDEC when a rapid-acting dithiocarbamate accelerator is needed in an aqueous natural-rubber system. State the latex type, cure method, dispersion requirements and any residue limits so the quoted grade can be matched to the formulation.
Which ZDEC form should I request for dry rubber mixing?
Powder is the conventional dry-addition form, while low-dust granules can suit feeding systems that prefer a free-flowing presentation. Send the mixer, dosing method, compound and particle-size preference with the enquiry.
What specification details should be included in an enquiry?
Provide the accelerator identity, powder or granule form, active-content or cure requirement, ash and moisture limits, particle-size or sieve control, application, quantity and delivery location. Include any document needs for the quotation.
How is zinc diethyldithiocarbamate priced?
Price depends on form, grade, active specification, quantity and delivery location. Send the current compound requirement for a quotation with a stated validity period and identify whether the use is dry rubber or latex.
