Carbon Sulfide Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Carbon Sulfide (Product Code: SCI-699/308) is an analytical reagent grade solvent, better known as carbon disulfide (CS2), used to dissolve sulfur, iodine, fats and waxes in chemistry teaching and analysis laboratories. It comes as a 100 ml pack with its MSDS, which is important for a liquid that is highly flammable, volatile and toxic to inhale. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a lab consumables supplier to colleges and senior schools.

What Is Carbon Sulfide Used For?

In school chemistry, carbon disulfide is best known as the solvent that separates the iron and sulfur mixture: it dissolves the sulfur and leaves the iron behind, while the compound iron sulfide does not dissolve at all. Letting a sulfur solution evaporate slowly in a fume cupboard leaves well-formed rhombic sulfur crystals, a standard way to show one of sulfur's allotropes.

Iodine dissolves in it to give a violet solution, which shows how non-polar solutes prefer non-polar solvents and supports solvent-extraction exercises with a separating funnel. The liquid is extremely flammable, and its vapour can be ignited by a hot surface such as a hot plate or steam pipe, not only by a flame. Use small volumes in a fume cupboard with all heat sources switched off, and keep the bottle in a ventilated flammables or chemistry reagent cabinet.

What to Specify When Ordering

• The number of 100 ml packs; a highly flammable solvent is best kept in small stocks.
• The intended use (mixture separation, sulfur recrystallisation or iodine extraction), so we can check the reagent suits your method.
• Whether cyclohexane could serve instead for your iodine-extraction exercises, so both can be quoted for comparison.

Supplier

ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which sources Carbon Sulfide for chemistry teaching and analytical laboratories and supplies it in 100 ml packs with the MSDS. Purchase departments registering a new vendor can use the supplying company's CIN U29309HR2020PTC087597 and GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT. Schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets can add the reagents and glassware for the same practical to one quotation, and the ScienceLab profile has more about the company.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Carbon Sulfide the same as carbon disulfide?
Yes. Carbon Sulfide SCI-699/308 is the reagent chemists usually call carbon disulfide (CS2), a volatile liquid used as a solvent for sulfur, iodine, fats and waxes. It is supplied as a 100 ml analytical reagent pack with its MSDS.

What is Carbon Sulfide used for in school chemistry?
Carbon Sulfide SCI-699/308 dissolves sulfur, so it separates sulfur from iron in the mixture-versus-compound practical and lets rhombic sulfur crystallise as it evaporates. It also dissolves iodine to a violet solution for solvent-extraction exercises, always in small volumes inside a fume cupboard.

Why is Carbon Sulfide handled in a fume cupboard?
Carbon Sulfide gives off a toxic, extremely flammable vapour that can ignite on contact with hot surfaces, not only open flames. Use the SCI-699/308 reagent in a fume cupboard, switch off nearby hot plates and burners, and follow the MSDS supplied with the 100 ml pack.

How should Carbon Sulfide be stored?
Store Carbon Sulfide SCI-699/308 tightly closed in a cool, ventilated flammables cabinet, away from heat, sparks and oxidising agents. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.

Who supplies Carbon Sulfide SCI-699/308?
Carbon Sulfide SCI-699/308 is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sources the solvent and provides it with its MSDS to colleges, schools, analytical laboratories, dealers and importers in India and international markets.

What does a Carbon Sulfide quotation need?
A Carbon Sulfide quotation needs the product code SCI-699/308, the number of 100 ml packs, the delivery location and any glassware or companion reagents for the same practical. Send the details through the contact page or the enquiry cart to receive the quotation.
