Notes on Uses

Accicure ZDC is fast curing at low temperatures, has limited scorch safety and gives vulcanisates with good levels of mechanical properties. It is too scorchy for extensive use as a sole accelerator in a "dry" rubber compound. It is flat curing, imparts good ageing properties, is non staining and is extremely useful as a booster of Accicure MBT, MBTS and HBS giving fast curing yet reasonably safe combinations. Accicure ZDC is extremely popular for a wide range of latex applications.

Storage and Handling

Stable indefinitely under normal storage conditions.

No special handling precautions are necessary. Normal precautions to avoid contact with skin and eyes should be followed. For eyes, flush with plenty of water and seek medical advice.
