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 PRECAUTIONS
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
- Use chemical splash goggles, flame-resistant lab coat, and butyl rubber or Viton gloves.
- Use a fume hood—never handle in open air.
- Respiratory protection (full-face respirator) required for high concentrations or spill response.
- 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.
- 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
- Inhalation:
- Move to fresh air immediately.
- Provide oxygen or CPR if breathing is difficult or stopped.
- Call emergency services immediately.
- Skin Contact:
- Remove contaminated clothing.
- Wash with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes.
- Seek medical attention.
- Eye Contact:
- Rinse cautiously with water for at least 15 minutes while lifting eyelids.
- Seek immediate medical care.
- Ingestion:
- Do not induce vomiting.
- Rinse mouth with water.
- Get immediate medical help—carbon disulfide is highly toxic if ingested.
FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
- Flammability:
- Extremely flammable—vapors can form explosive mixtures with air.
- Ignites readily at room temperature.
- Extinguishing Media:
- Use foam, dry chemicals, or carbon dioxide (CO₂).
- Do not use water jets—they can spread the fire.
- Hazardous Combustion Products:
- Toxic fumes of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and sulfur oxides.
- Firefighter Protection:
- Wear self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full protective gear.
- Use caution—explosion hazard in enclosed areas.
