In terms of application, the global TMTD market can be segmented into rubber production, plastics, lubricating oils, pesticides, and others. Out of these, rubber production is the dominant application segment. Tetramethylthiuram disulfide is primarily used as a rubber additive (accelerator, peptizing agent, or vulcanizing agent). TMTD is used in the production of synthetic as well as natural rubber. As for rubber applications, it is primarily used in the production of tires, inner tubes of tires, shoes, and cables.

TMTD (tetramethylthiuram disulfide) is also used as an additive in the manufacture of plastics and as an ingredient in pesticides, insecticides, agricultural disinfectants, antiseptic sprays, commercial and surgical soaps, wood preservatives, and lubricating oils

TMTD can be used alone or in combination with other accelerators in applications such as mechanical goods, hoses, cables, seals, tires, conveyor belts, transparent goods, proofed textiles, latex goods, and ebonite
