Carbon disulfide
methanedithione, carbon bisulfide
How to detect Carbon disulfide
Formula: CS2 | CAS: 75-15-0
Synonyms: methanedithione, carbon bisulfide
The primary use of carbon disulphide is in manufacture of Rayon fibre. Subsequent processing of the fibre releases carbon disulfide in substantial quantities. Carbon disulfide is a selective solvent and used as a fumigant and insecticide.
