Description

Ethylenebisdithiocarbamic Acid is a key organic sulfur compound and a fundamental precursor in the synthesis of important dithiocarbamate fungicides. This chemical matters for its role in producing highly effective, broad-spectrum agricultural protectants that are critical for global crop health and yield. Industries that need it include agrochemical manufacturers, research institutions, and producers of rubber chemicals and metal chelating agents.

Application

• Primary Intermediate for Fungicides: The main application is as a precursor for manufacturing ethylene bisdithiocarbamate (EBDC) fungicides like mancozeb, maneb, and zineb.
• Agricultural Crop Protection: Used in formulations to protect fruits, vegetables, field crops, and ornamentals from a wide range of fungal diseases.
• Industrial Biocide: Serves as an active ingredient or intermediate in non-agricultural biocides for material preservation.
• Rubber Industry: Acts as a vulcanization accelerator and antioxidant in the production of synthetic rubber.
• Research & Development: Utilized in chemical synthesis and as a standard in analytical laboratories for method development.
• Water Treatment: Investigated for use in controlling microbial growth in industrial water systems.

Quality Control

Our Ethylenebisdithiocarbamic Acid is produced under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for industrial synthesis. Quality is verified through comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, impurity profiling, and physical property checks. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, and strong bases. The material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption.
