Product Specifications

Sodium Sulfide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Na₂S and CAS Number 1313-82-2 for the anhydrous form. It is typically supplied as a yellowish to reddish solid, flakes, or crystalline material. Sodium Sulfide is highly soluble in water and may be available in different hydrated forms, which can have different physical properties and CAS numbers.

Sodium Sulfide is valued as a source of sulfide ions in aqueous solutions and chemical reactions. Common laboratory applications include qualitative inorganic analysis, metal ion precipitation studies, analytical chemistry procedures, inorganic synthesis, and research involving metal sulfide compounds. It is also used in specialised chemical processing, wastewater treatment, and various industrial applications.

Its chemical reactivity and ability to form insoluble metal sulfide precipitates make Sodium Sulfide useful in inorganic chemistry, analytical testing, 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 Sulfide is a hazardous chemical that may cause severe skin burns and serious eye damage, depending on its concentration and formulation. It reacts with acids and may release highly toxic and flammable hydrogen sulfide gas (H₂S). Avoid contact with acids, moisture where incompatible with the product formulation, and other incompatible substances. Do not inhale dust or vapours. Handle it in a suitable, well-ventilated area using appropriate personal protective equipment, including chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and protective clothing. Store in a tightly closed, compatible container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from acids and oxidising agents. Follow the supplier's safety data sheet (SDS) for proper handling, storage, and disposal.
