TDEC (Tellurium Diethyldithiocarbamate) Rubber Accelerator – Technical Datasheet & Supply

TDEC rubber accelerator yellow powder in industrial packaging
Product Overview

TDEC (Tellurium Diethyldithiocarbamate) is a dithiocarbamate-class rubber accelerator supplied in powder form, identified by CAS No. 20941-65-5. It is widely used across the rubber processing industry as an ultra-fast/super accelerator for natural rubber (NR) and synthetic rubber compounds including SBR, NBR, EPDM, and butyl rubber. TDEC is typically used in combination with thiazole, sulfenamide, or thiuram-class accelerators, where it functions as an activator to increase overall cure velocity at vulcanizing temperature. Its dithiocarbamate structure allows it to promote rapid crosslinking, making it suitable for applications requiring quick cure cycles.

Key Benefits
  • Promotes rapid cure/vulcanization velocity at processing temperature
  • Functions effectively as an activator alongside thiazole, sulfenamide, and thiuram accelerator systems
  • Supports improved crosslink density contributing to compound firmness
  • Suitable for compounds requiring fast cure cycles in production
  • Compatible with multiple rubber polymer systems (NR, SBR, NBR, EPDM, butyl)
Applications
  • Manufacture of tire inner tubes
  • Hoses and soft tubing
  • Cable and wire insulation/isolating layers
  • Airbags and water-tube components
  • General rubber goods requiring accelerated cure systems
  • Used in butyl rubber compounds where enhanced accelerator activity is required
Recommended Dosage

Typical dosage reported across manufacturer literature ranges from approximately 0.1 to 1.0 phr (parts per hundred rubber) for powder-form product, with some sources indicating a range up to 2.0% depending on product form (e.g., oil-treated powder) and polymer system. Butyl rubber compounds may require dosage adjustment for optimal results.

Recommended dosage may vary based on formulation and processing conditions. Users should verify dosage before commercial use.
