Usage

General Description

Diethyl tetrasulphide is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C8H18S4. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong odor, and it is primarily used as an industrial solvent and in chemical synthesis. Diethyl tetrasulphide is a highly flammable and potentially hazardous substance that can cause severe irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. It is also toxic if ingested or inhaled, and exposure to high concentrations can lead to serious health effects. Therefore, appropriate safety measures and personal protective equipment should be used when handling diethyl tetrasulphide to minimize the risk of exposure and ensure safe handling and storage.
