Product Specifications

Sodium Diethyldithiocarbamate is an organic sulfur-containing compound with the chemical formula C₅H₁₀NNaS₂ and CAS Number 148-18-5 for the anhydrous form. It is commonly supplied as a white to pale yellow crystalline powder and is soluble in water. Hydrated forms, such as the trihydrate, are also available and may have different physical properties and CAS numbers.

Sodium Diethyldithiocarbamate is valued for its ability to react with various metal ions to form stable metal-dithiocarbamate complexes. Common laboratory applications include qualitative and quantitative metal ion analysis, analytical chemistry procedures, coordination chemistry experiments, and research involving the separation and determination of trace metals. It is also used in specialised chemical synthesis and industrial applications involving metal complex formation.

Its metal-binding properties and ability to form coloured complexes make Sodium Diethyldithiocarbamate useful in analytical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, environmental analysis, and general laboratory research. The appropriate grade, purity, and hydration form should be selected according to the requirements of the intended application.

KSFE Malaysia supplies laboratory chemicals and scientific products for research institutions, educational facilities, and general laboratory applications.

Safety Note: Sodium Diethyldithiocarbamate may cause irritation to the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. Avoid inhaling dust and prevent direct contact with the eyes and skin. Some dithiocarbamate compounds may decompose under acidic conditions and release hazardous sulfur-containing gases, including carbon disulfide, depending on the formulation and conditions. Avoid contact with strong acids, strong oxidising agents, and incompatible substances. Handle it in a well-ventilated area using appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety goggles, chemical-resistant gloves, and protective clothing. Store in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry place away from heat, moisture, acids, and incompatible chemicals. Follow the supplier's safety data sheet (SDS) for proper handling, storage, and disposal.
