Sodium Diethyldithiocarbamate
Sodium Diethyldithiocarbamate (CAS: 148-18-5) is an odorless white to off-white crystalline solid that is soluble in water and widely used as a chelating and complexing agent. It forms intensely colored complexes with copper and many other metals, which underpins its role in metal determination, separation, and solvent-extraction processes. In industry it serves as a rubber vulcanization accelerator intermediate, a corrosion inhibitor, and a feedstock for producing zinc, selenium, and tellurium dithiocarbamate salts used in rubber processing. The compound is also a well-known analytical reagent for trace copper in water, food, and biological samples, and it has been studied as an active pharmaceutical entity. Customers use it in laboratories, water treatment, mineral processing, and rubber chemical production where selective metal binding is required.
• Analytical chemistry: colorimetric determination and separation of copper and other trace metals in water, food, and biological samples using standard photometric methods.
• Rubber chemicals: an intermediate for zinc, selenium, and tellurium dithiocarbamate accelerators used in vulcanization of rubber goods.
• Metal recovery: selective chelation and solvent extraction of heavy metals in hydrometallurgy, mining, and wastewater treatment circuits.
• Corrosion inhibition: protects metal surfaces in industrial cooling and process water systems, extending equipment life and reducing maintenance.
