High Quality Ammonium Thiocyanate (CAS: 1762-95-4) (NH4SCN)

Ammonium thiocyanate is an inorganic compound with the formula NH4SCN. It is the salt of the ammonium cation and the thiocyanate anion.

Properties: NH4SCN, a colorless crystalline or column crystal that is soluble in water, methanol, ethanol, pyridine, acetone & ammonia and insoluble in ethyl acetate, methyl chloride and chloroform; At 140° C bring thiourea. Melts at 149.6° C...Thermal decomposition at 170° C may produce highly toxic fumes , hydrogen sulfide and toxic oxides of nitrogen, sulfur, and carbon.

Usage:

Ammonium thiocyanate is used in the manufacture of herbicides, thiourea, and transparent artificial resins; In matches; As a stabilizing agent in photography; In various rustproofing compositions; As an adjuvant in textile dyeing and printing; As a tracer in oil fields; In the separation of hafnium from zirconium, and in titrimetric analyses.

Ammonium thiocyanate can also be used to determine the iron content in soft drinks by colorimetry.
