Condition Overview

Thiuram Mix allergy is a contact allergy to thiuram compounds used as accelerators in rubber and elastic manufacturing. These chemicals (tetramethylthiuram disulfide, tetraethylthiuram disulfide, etc.) are among the most common causes of rubber-related allergic contact dermatitis

Common Clothing Triggers

These are fabric, finish, and construction factors that may worsen symptoms for some people.

Elastic in clothing (waistbands, bra straps, sock cuffs)
Elastic waistbands and bra straps contain thiuram accelerators that cause contact dermatitis where clothing touches skin
Rubber gloves
Rubber gloves used in medical or household settings contain high concentrations of thiuram compounds
Shoes and insoles
Shoe insoles and rubber components in footwear can trigger reactions on feet
Condoms
Latex and non-latex condoms may contain thiuram accelerators
Medical devices with rubber components
Medical devices with rubber parts expose sensitive areas to thiuram chemicals

Frequently Asked Questions

Latex allergy is to the rubber protein itself, while thiuram allergy is to the chemical accelerators used in processing rubber. You can have one or both.
Not always. Synthetic rubber alternatives often still contain thiuram accelerators. Cottonique avoids all rubber and elastic entirely.
Most customers report improvement within 1-2 weeks of eliminating rubber accelerator exposure.
