About

Zinc O,O'-diisopropyl bis(dithiocarbonate), also known as zinc diisopropyl dithiocarbonate, is a coordination complex used mainly as a vulcanization accelerator in rubber and as a fungicide. It is not listed in EU Annex II or III of Regulation 1223/2009; however, dithiocarbonate compounds may release carbon disulfide and have moderate skin sensitization potential. Cosmetic usage is incidental rather than intentional.
