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.

Description

Carbon Disulfide Extra Pure

Primary Uses 

  1. Solvent for Non-Polar Compounds

    • Commonly used as a non-polar solvent for lipids, resins, phosphorus, sulfur, iodine, and rubber in analytical and organic chemistry labs.

  2. Spectroscopy & Chromatography

    • Used in UV-visible and IR spectroscopy due to its wide transparency range and low absorbance in certain spectral regions.

  3. Chemical Reagent in Organic Synthesis

    • Acts as a reagent or intermediate in synthesis of:

      • Dithiocarbamates

      • Xanthates

      • Thiocarbonyl compounds

  4. Sulfur Compound Studies

    • Serves as a model compound in studies of sulfur reactivity, coordination chemistry, and catalytic processes.

Secondary Uses

  1. Microscopy Mounting Medium

    • Occasionally used as a refractive index-matching medium in microscopy.

  2. Polymer & Material Science Research

    • Employed in dissolving rubber and cellulose xanthate (from viscose rayon) for research and testing purposes.

  3. Environmental Chemistry

    • Used in trace analysis of volatile sulfur compounds in air and soil samples.

  4. Explosive Properties Studies (Controlled Research Only)

    • Studied under strict lab controls for understanding volatile organic compound (VOC) behavior or flammability indices.

SAFETY HANDLING 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 (COâ‚‚).

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.
