GENERAL DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS

Dithiocarbamate is the analog of carbamate in which both oxygen atoms are replaced by sulfur atoms. carbamates are inter-related structurally and often are interconverted chemically. Dithiocarbonate is the thio analog of carbonate. Thiocarbonates contain sulphur in place of oxygen. Xanthate is one of important dithiocarbamate. Dithiocarbamates and dithiocarbonates readily react with many metal salts and are used as ligands when metal salts are added to it. Coordination complexes of zinc metal with anionic ligands dithiocarbamates and dithiocarbonates are used as secondary accelerators for rubber vulcanization.  

ZEPC is a fast primary or secondary rubber accelerator. It is also used as an antioxidant in rubber-based adhesive systems.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF ACCELERATOR
Sulfur combines with nearly all elements. Sulfur forms ring and chain structures as it is the second only to carbon in exhibiting catenation. The 8-membered ring and shorter chain structure of sulfur molecule is important in vulcanization process which individual polymers are linked to other polymer molecules by atomic bridges. This process produces thermoset materials which are cross-linked and irreversible substances. The term thermoplastic is for high molecular weight polymers which can undergo melting-freezing cycle. Thermosets are not melted and re-molded on heating after cured. The split of sulfur 8-membered ring structure into shorter chains provides rubber vulcanization process. The split are liked with cure sites (some of the solid bonds in the molecule) on rubber molecules, resulting in forming sulfur bridges typically between 2 and 10 atoms long. Vulcanization makes rubber harder, more durable and more resistant to heating, aging and chemical attacks. The number of sulfur atoms in the sulfur bridges varies physical properties of the end products. Short bridges containing one or two sulfur atoms offer heat resistance and long bridges offer flexible property. Vulcanization can also be accomplished with certain peroxides, gamma radiation, and several other organic compounds. The principal classes of peroxide cross-linking agents are dialkyl and diaralkyl peroxides, peroxyketals and peroxyesters. Other vulcanizing agents include amine compounds for the cross-linking of fluorocarbon rubbers, metal oxides for chlorine-containing rubbers (notably zinc oxide for chloroprene rubber) and phenol-formaldehyde resins for the production of heat-resistant butyl rubber vulcanizates. Accelerator, in the rubber industry, is added with a curing agent to speed the vulcanization. Accelerators contain sulfur and nitrogen like derivatives of benzothiazole and thiocarbanilides. The popular accelerators are sulfenamides (as a delayed-action accelerators), thiazoles, thiuram sulfides, dithocarbamates and guanidines.
