Carbon Disulphide
Carbon Disulphide (Product Code: SCL-803/146) is a highly volatile, flammable non-polar solvent used to dissolve sulphur, iodine, waxes and fats and to show halogen colours in layer tests in school, college and testing laboratories. Chemistry teachers and laboratory staff reach for this analytical reagent liquid, supplied in a 500 ml pack with an MSDS, when water will not dissolve the substance under study. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a laboratory chemicals supplier for teaching and testing labs.

What Is Carbon Disulphide Used For?
A classic demonstration of allotropy uses carbon disulphide to dissolve roll sulphur; as the solution evaporates slowly in a covered dish, rhombic sulphur crystals form for students to observe. In qualitative inorganic analysis it can serve as the organic layer in the test for bromide and iodide ions: after an oxidising agent releases the halogen, the dense solvent layer picks up a brown or violet colour that identifies the ion. It is also handy for solubility comparisons that show why like dissolves like.
Handle it only in small volumes and preferably inside a chemical fume cupboard. Its vapour can ignite on contact with hot surfaces, not just open flames, so keep burners, hot plates and heated water baths well away while the bottle is open. Close the cap straight after dispensing, store the pack in a cool, ventilated place and follow the disposal guidance in the MSDS for residues.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who supplies Carbon Disulphide SCL-803/146?
Carbon Disulphide (SCL-803/146) is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sources this analytical reagent solvent for teaching and testing laboratories and supplies it with an MSDS to buyers in India and international markets.
How much carbon disulphide is in one pack?
Each pack of Carbon Disulphide holds 500 ml of analytical reagent grade liquid. Because the solvent is used in small volumes for demonstrations and layer tests, order only the number of packs your flammable-liquid store can hold safely.
Does Carbon Disulphide come with safety information?
Yes. Carbon Disulphide is supplied with an MSDS that sets out its hazards, storage, first aid and disposal. Staff should read it before the pack is opened and keep it where anyone dispensing the solvent can consult it quickly.
What is the shelf life of Carbon Disulphide?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Keep Carbon Disulphide tightly closed in a cool, ventilated store, away from heat sources and oxidising agents.
Can students use carbon disulphide on an open bench?
Carbon Disulphide is better handled by, or under the direct supervision of, a teacher in a fume cupboard or a very well-ventilated area. Keep flames and hot surfaces away, and dispense only the small volume each test requires.
Is a certificate of analysis available for Carbon Disulphide?
The listing confirms that Carbon Disulphide is analytical reagent grade and supplied with an MSDS. If your laboratory needs batch-specific analysis documents, please discuss this with us through the contact page before ordering.
Can Carbon Disulphide be shipped outside India?
Carbon Disulphide can be quoted for international markets, but as a flammable liquid it must travel under dangerous-goods rules. Share your destination and quantity, and we will advise on the shipping options available for that order.
