Sodium Thiocyanate CAS#540-72-7

Basic Information

Sodium Thiocyanate

Sodium thiocyanate is a white rhombic crystalline salt that dissolves in water, ethanol and acetone. It is a reactive thiocyanate source and must be kept away from incompatible acids, strong bases and oxidizers because heating or decomposition can generate hazardous fumes. It is used as a solvent in acrylic-fiber spinning, an analytical reagent, a color-film rinse chemical, a plant defoliant and an airport herbicide. Additional applications include pharmaceuticals, dyeing, rubber processing, plating and artificial mustard-oil manufacture.
