According
to the study “Asia Dithiocarbamate
Vulcanization Agents Industry Situation and Prospects Research Report”, ZBEC, ZDBC, ZDEC, ZDMC,
NOBS(MBS), ZBED and SBDC are the various types of dithiocarbamate vulcanization
agents available in Asian markets. Various applications of dithiocarbamate
vulcanization agents in Asian rubber markets are NR, IR, BR, SBR, EPDM and
their latexes manufacturing processes. Geographically, dithiocarbamate
vulcanization agents market in Asia is spread across China, Japan, India,
Korea, Saudi Arabia and other regions. The leading players in dithiocarbamate
vulcanization agents market in Asia are Lanxess, Arkema, China Sunsine Chemical
Holdings, Vanderbilt Chemicals, Akrochem, Willing New Materials Technology, Zhengzhou
Double Vigour Chemical and NOCIL.
A very large number of chemicals that
belong to different chemical classes are known to accelerate rubber
vulcanization process. Almost about 50 such accelerators are used on a commercial
scale for various industrial processes. Primary accelerators and secondary
accelerators are the vulcanization curatives available in the Asian markets.
Primary accelerators possess long scorch time and cure fast during the
vulcanization stage. The two major classes of primary accelerators are
sulfenamides and thiazoles. However, secondary accelerators possess synergistic
effect on cure such that it boosts cure and increases the cross-link density
and are used at much lower concentrations. Guanidines, thiurams, and dithiocarbamates
are the three most important classes of secondary accelerators. Dithiocarbamates are
ultra fast accelerators that have virtually no induction time. Therefore,
dithiocarbamates are used as primary accelerators and retarders that are
usually added to avoid scorch coupled with the requirements for activation such
as zinc oxide / fatty acid.
A wide range of zinc dialkyl dithiocarbamates are commercially available
in the Asian markets. Dimethyl- (ZDMC), diethyl- ZDEC) and diburyl-dithiocarbamate
ZDBC) are the three very common dithiocarbamates available. The scorch safety
of the compounds increases with increasing length of the alkyl group such as ZDMC,
ZDEC and ZDBC where all three have similar high reactivity. However, their
solubility in non-polar rubber compounds is rather low due to the very polar
nature of zinc sulphide bonds and therefore, have a tendency to bloom to the
surface at higher concentration. Dirthiocarbamates are a good choice for low
sulphur cure, low temperature cure, white/transparent or brightly coloured
rubber goods and as secondary accelerators to speed up cure in vulcanization process. Dithiocarbamates are used in pesticides,
as vulcanizing agents and in pharmaceuticals industries.
Asia accounts for a largest share in the
dithiocarbamate vulcanization agents market due to rapid industrialization. It
was observed that there is a significant rise in the automobile market in Asia.
High disposable incomes, rising economy levels, need for a personal vehicle per
individual and modernization are propelling the need for automobile per
individual are amongst the key factors influencing the growth of the automotive
market coupled with dithiocarbamate vulcanization agents market in Asia. Rubber
products are not only used in the manufacture of automobile tyres but for
various other durable products to enhance the current living standard in Asia.
The increasing consumption of dithiocarbamate vulcanization agents for various
applications is encouraging the market towards expansion in various sectors
attracting huge recognition and this trend will continue over the next few
years in Asian markets.
