TMTD

TMTD, also called Tetramethylthiuram disulfide or Thiram, is mainly used to treat seeds and soil and to prevent and control cereal powdery mildew, smut, and vegetable diseases. 

TMTD is used as a fungicide ectoparasiticide to prevent fungal diseases in seeds and crops and, similarly, as an animal repellent to protect fruit trees and ornamentals from damage by rabbits, rodents, and deer. 

TMTD has been used in treating human scabies as a sunscreen, and bactericide applied directly to the skin or incorporated into soap.

TMTD is also used as a sulfur source and secondary accelerator for the sulfur vulcanization of rubbers.

TMTD is an organic disulfide that results from the formal oxidative dimerization of N,N-dimethyldithiocarbamic acid. 

TMTD is widely used as a fungicidal seed treatment. 

TMTD has a role as an antibacterial drug, an antiseptic drug, and an antifungal agrochemical.

Uses of TMTD:

1. TMTD belongs to protective fungicides of broad spectrum, with a residual effect period of up to 7d or so. 

It is mainly used for dealing with seeds and soil and preventing powdery mildew, smut, and rice seedlings damping off of cereal crops. 

It can also be used for some fruit trees and vegetable diseases. 

For example, dressing seed with 500g of 50% wettable powder can control rice blast, leaf spot, barley, and wheat smut.

2. As a pesticide, Tetramethylthiuram Disulfide is often called TMTD. 

TMTD is mainly used to treat seeds and soil and to prevent and control cereal powdery mildew, smut, and vegetable diseases. 

As the super accelerator of natural rubber, synthetic rubber, and latex, this product is often called accelerator TMTD. 

Thiram (TMTD) represents a thiuram vulcanization accelerator, accounting for 85% of the total amount of similar products. 

Thiram (TMTD) is also the super accelerator of natural rubber, diene synthetic rubber, Ⅱ, R, and EPDM, with the highest utilization rate. 

The vulcanization-promoting force of Tetramethylthiuram Disulfide (TMTD) is powerful but not vulcanized without zinc oxide.

3. TMTD is used to manufacture cables, wires, tires, and other rubber products.

4. TMTD is the super accelerator of natural, synthetic, and latex rubber.

5. TMTD is used as the late effect promoter of natural rubber, butadiene rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, and polyisoprene rubber.

6. TMTD is used for the pest control of rice, wheat, tobacco, sugar beet, grapes, and other crops, as well as for seed dressing and soil treatment.

7. TMTD is suitable for manufacturing natural rubber, synthetic rubber, and latex and can be used as a curing agent. 

TMTD is the second accelerator of thiazole accelerators, which can be used as the continuous vulcanization accelerator with other accelerators.

8. TMTD (Tetramethylthiuram Disulfide) can be used as the super-vulcanization accelerator in the rubber industry and is often used with a thiazole accelerator. 

TMTD can also be combined with other accelerators as the continuous rubber accelerator. 

TMTD can also be used as a curing agent for slowly decomposing out of free sulfur at more than 100 ℃. 

Its products have excellent resistance to aging and heat, so it applies to natural and synthetic rubber. 

TMTD mainly manufactures tires, tubes, shoes, cables, and other industrial products. 

In agriculture, TMTD can be used as a fungicide and insecticide, and it can also be used as a lubricant additive.

9.  Production methods from dimethylamine, carbon disulfide, ammonia condensation reaction was dimethyl dithiocarbamate and then the oxidation of hydrogen peroxide to the finished product.
