AbstractDuring the vulcanization ofcis‐1,4‐polyisoprene (IR) with thiruam‐related curing systems, dimethyldithiocarbamic acid (DMDCA) is formed as a byproduct, in the formation of either pendent groups or crosslinks. DMDCA is unstable, and decomposes instantly to Me2NH and CS2in the absence of ZnO. The facile reaction of Me2NH and thiuram‐related molecules such as tetramethylthiuram polysulfides, tetramethylthiuram disulfide (TMTD), tetramethylthiuram monosulfide and pendent groups caused (i) increased induction periods, (ii) lower maximum crosslink densities, and (iii) the excessive formation of tetramethylthiourea (TMTU). A most important function of ZnO was to trap the DMDCA via the formation of zinc dimethyldithiocarbamate and water, thereby preventing the detrimental reactions above. The IR/TMTD/ZnO and IR/sulfur/TMTD/ZnO systems were therefore characterized by (i) shorter induction periods, (ii) higher maximum crosslink densities, and (iii) the absence
