Usage

General Description

Oxydiethane-2,1-diyl bis(thiocyanate) is a chemical compound that consists of two thiocyanate groups attached to a central oxydiethane-2,1-diyl bridge. It is commonly used as a crosslinking agent in the production of polymers, particularly in the manufacturing of rubber products. The chemical is known for its ability to improve the mechanical properties of polymers, such as increasing their tensile strength and tear resistance. It is also used in the production of adhesives and sealants, as well as in the pharmaceutical industry for certain drug formulations. However, it is important to handle this compound with care, as it is a potent irritant to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system, and should be used with appropriate safety measures in place.
