As a general vulcanization accelerator, this product is widely used in various rubbers. It has a rapid accelerating effect on natural rubber and synthetic rubber usually vulcanized with sulfur. However, its use requires activation by zinc oxide, fatty acids, etc. Often used in combination with other accelerator systems, such as thiuram dithiocarbamate and tellurium dithiocarbamate, it can be used as an accelerator for butyl rubber; it can be used with tribasic lead maleate for light-colored, water-resistant applications. of chlorosulfonated polyethylene rubber.

It is often used together with dithiocarbamates in latex, and when used together with diethyldithiocarbamate diethylamine, it can be vulcanized at room temperature. This product is easily dispersed in rubber and does not pollute. However, due to its bitter taste, it is not suitable for use in food contact rubber products.

It is used as a spreading aid brightener in bright copper plating with copper sulfate as the main salt. In addition, this product is also used to prepare pesticide fungicides, nitrogen fertilizer synergists, cutting oils and lubricant additives, organic anti-ashing agents in photographic chemistry, metal corrosion inhibitors, etc.
