Dimethylamine is used in several applications in the rubber industry. Dimethyldithiocarbamate salts are used for vulcanization accelerators. Tetramethylthiuram mono- and disulfide (TMTD) is a rubber accelerator, especially for butyl rubbers. DMA oleate is an emulsifier for use in synthetic rubber production. DMA is used directly as a modifier in the vapor phase polymerization of butadiene and as a stabilizer for natural rubber latex (instead of using ammonia).
