Carbon Disulfide Extra Pure is a volatile, colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong, characteristic odor, valued in laboratory settings for its high purity and solvency power. Commonly used as a non-polar solvent, it is ideal for dissolving sulfur, fats, resins, and phosphorus in analytical and synthetic chemistry. Its role extends to studying reaction kinetics, extraction processes, and as a reagent in organic synthesis involving thiocarbonyl compounds. Due to its low flash point and high volatility, it is also utilized in vapor pressure and flammability studies. The 99% extra pure grade ensures minimal impurities, critical for sensitive applications. It must be handled in a well-ventilated fume hood and stored away from heat, sparks, and oxidizing agents.

SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

  1. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
    • Use chemical splash goggles, flame-resistant lab coat, and butyl rubber or Viton gloves.
    • Use a fume hoodnever handle in open air.
    • Respiratory protection (full-face respirator) required for high concentrations or spill response.
  2. Handling:
    • Extremely flammable and toxic—handle with extreme caution.
    • Avoid all sources of ignition, heat, and static discharge.
    • Prevent inhalation of vapors and skin contact.
  3. Storage:
    • Store in a cool, flammable-storage cabinet, away from heat, oxidizers, and light.
    • Keep tightly sealed in airtight containers.
    • Ground containers properly to avoid static discharge.

FIRST AID MEASURES

  1. Inhalation:
    • Move to fresh air immediately.
    • Provide oxygen or CPR if breathing is difficult or stopped.
    • Call emergency services immediately.
  2. Skin Contact:
    • Remove contaminated clothing.
    • Wash with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes.
    • Seek medical attention.
  3. Eye Contact:
    • Rinse cautiously with water for at least 15 minutes while lifting eyelids.
    • Seek immediate medical care.
  4. Ingestion:
    • Do not induce vomiting.
    • Rinse mouth with water.
    • Get immediate medical help—carbon disulfide is highly toxic if ingested.

FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

  1. Flammability:
    • Extremely flammable—vapors can form explosive mixtures with air.
    • Ignites readily at room temperature.
  2. Extinguishing Media:
    • Use foam, dry chemicals, or carbon dioxide (CO₂).
    • Do not use water jets—they can spread the fire.
  3. Hazardous Combustion Products:
    • Toxic fumes of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and sulfur oxides.
  4. Firefighter Protection:
    • Wear self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full protective gear.
    • Use caution—explosion hazard in enclosed areas.
