Carbon Disulphide CP 2.5L<\/p>\n
Carbon disulfide (CS2) is primarily used to make viscose rayon (textiles), cellophane film (packaging), and various sulfur-based chemicals (like xanthates for mining). <\/p>\n
It\ufffd\ufffd\ufffds a powerful solvent for fats\/waxes, a key intermediate in producing rubber accelerators, fungicides, and pesticides, and historically used as a grain fumigant, though its use is declining due to toxicity. Carbon Disulphide CP 2.5L<\/p>\n
Major Industrial Uses:
Textiles & Packaging: The largest use is in the viscose process for rayon fibers and cellophane film.
Chemical Synthesis: A crucial feedstock for other chemicals, including:
Rubber Chemicals: Vulcanization accelerators.
Agriculture: Precursor for pesticides, fungicides, and soil fumigants (use decreasing).
Mining: Used to make xanthates for froth flotation (ore extraction).
Solvent: Excellent solvent for sulfur, fats, waxes, resins, and in purification processes (e.g., carbon nanotubes). <\/p>\n
Other & Historical Uses:
Electronics: In manufacturing electronic vacuum tubes.
Petroleum: For cleaning oil wells and processing hydrocarbons.
Metal Finishing: For electroplating bright metals, rust removal, and metal recovery.
Fumigant: Used for stored grain, but largely phased out in some regions. <\/p>\n
Key Properties & Concerns:
Toxicity: Highly toxic, volatile, and flammable, requiring strict safety measures.
Environmental: Use as a grain fumigant has been voluntarily cancelled in the USA due to health\/environmental concerns.
