Uses |
2-Imidazolidinethione is a pesticide used in production of fruits and vegetables. It is also used as a new contrast agent for MRI studies based on proton chemical exchange dependent saturation transfe r. 2-Imidazolidinethione is also a corrosion inhibitor due to the adsorption of the mol. species. |
Uses |
Accelerator in synthetic rubber production. |
General Description |
White to pale green crystals or an off-white solid. Odorless when pure, but technical product may have an amine odor. |
Air & Water Reactions |
Slightly soluble in water. |
Reactivity Profile |
Ethlenethiourea may be sensitive to prolonged exposure to light. Incompatible with acids, diazo and azo compounds, halocarbons, isocyanates, aldehydes, alkali metals, nitrides, hydrides, and other strong reducing agents. Reactions with these materials generate heat and in many cases hydrogen gas. May react with acids to liberate hydrogen sulfide. |
Fire Hazard |
Ethlenethiourea is combustible. |
