Disulfur dichloride

Disulfur dichloride (CAS 10025-67-9), also known as Sulphur Monochloride or S2Cl2, is a reactive sulfur chloride compound used industrially as a cross-linking agent and chemical intermediate.

Where is Disulfur dichloride used?

• Rubber and tire manufacturing: cold-vulcanization of natural and synthetic rubber
• Agrochemical production: intermediate in synthesizing sulfur-containing pesticides and crop protection compounds
• Mining and metallurgy: extraction and refining of metals, particularly chlorination-based recovery of platinum group metals
• Organic synthesis: reagent and catalyst precursor that introduces sulfur and chlorine functionalities into target molecules
• It cold-vulcanizes at low temperatures, enabling processing of heat-sensitive articles such as thin-walled goods and surgical items.

Good to know: Buyers should confirm stabilizer content and moisture levels, as these affect reactivity and shelf life in downstream processes.

Commercial specifications

• Purity: 95% to 98%, depending on the intended application
