Chemical Properties
Yellow, hygroscopic crystals or clear,
dark-red liquid.
Uses
Reducing organic nitro compounds, manufac-
ture of sulfur dyes, insecticides and fungicides, ore
flotation, soaking hides and skins, preparation of
metal sulfide finishes.
Uses
For reducing organic nitro compounds, in the manufacture of sulfur dyes, in ore flotation, and in the preparation of metal sulfide finishes.It is involved in the production of cross-linking agents such as bis(triethoxysilylpropyl)tetrasulfide. It acts as a precursor for certain specialty polymers and intermediates in prototypes of the sodium-sulfur battery.
Hazard
Fire risk when exposed to flame. Irritant to
skin and tissue.
