Carbon Disulphide CP 2.5L

Carbon Disulphide CP 2.5L Carbon disulfide (CS2) is primarily used to make viscose rayon (textiles), cellophane film (packaging), and various sulfur-based chemicals (like xanthates for mining). It’s a powerful solvent for fats/waxes, a key intermediate in producing rubber accelerators, fungicides, and pesticides, and historically used as a grain fumigant, though its use is declining due to toxicity. Carbon Disulphide CP 2.5L Major Industrial Uses: Textiles & Packaging: The largest use is in the viscose process for rayon fibers and cellophane film. Chemical Synthesis: A crucial feedstock for other chemicals, including: Rubber Chemicals: Vulcanization accelerators. Agriculture: Precursor for pesticides, fungicides, and soil fumigants (use decreasing). Mining: Used to make xanthates for froth flotation (ore extraction). Solvent: Excellent solvent for sulfur, fats, waxes, resins, and in purification processes (e.g., carbon nanotubes). Other & Historical Uses: Electronics: In manufacturing
