ZBC

Chemical properties

White powder; pleasant odor. Soluble in carbon disulfide, benzene, and chloroform; insoluble in water.

The Uses of ZBC

Accelerator for latex dispersions and cements, etc; ultra-accelerator for lubricating oil additive.

The Uses of ZBC

Zinc bis(dibutyldithiocarbamate) is a rubber chemical used as a vulcanization accelerator. It can also be found in paints, glue removers and anticorrosives. It was contained in the "carba-mix".

The Uses of ZBC

Zinc dibutyldithiocarbamate is used as activator; antidegradant; accelerator for natural rubber, butadiene, styrene-butadiene, nitrile-butadiene, butyl rubber, and ethyJene-propylene-diene terpolymers.

Indications

Zinc dibutyldithiocarbamate is approved for use within allergenic epicutaneous patch tests which are indicated for use as an aid in the diagnosis of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) in persons 6 years of age and older.

Background

Zinc dibutyldithiocarbamate is a dermatological sensitizer and allergen. Sensitivity to zinc dibutyldithiocarbamate may be identified with a clinical patch test.

Definition

ChEBI: Zinc dibutyldithiocarbamate is a dithiocarbamate salt that is the zinc salt of dibutyldithiocarbamic acid. It has a role as an antifungal agrochemical. It is a dithiocarbamate salt and a zinc molecular entity. It contains a dibutyldithiocarbamate and a zinc(2+). It is functionally related to a dibutyldithiocarbamic acid.
