Carbon disulfide has the chemical formula CS2 and CAS No. 75-15-0. It is a colorless liquid and a common solvent. Pure carbon disulfide has a sweet, ether-like odor. Its boiling point is 46.3°C, its freezing point is approximately −111.6°C, its relative vapor density is approximately 2.64 (air = 1), and its relative liquid density is approximately 1.26 (water = 1). It is extremely flammable and can readily ignite or explode when exposed to heat, sparks, flames, or oxidants. Carbon disulfide is mainly used to manufacture rayon, insecticides, accelerators, and other products, and is also used in the pesticide, rubber, and viscose-fiber industries.
