🏭Main applications

Sodium thiocyanate is widely used and can be classified into two main categories: industrial applications and chemical analysis.
Application in the industrial field
Textile industry: Used as a spinning solvent for polyacrylonitrile (acrylic) fibers.
Metal treatment: As an anti-corrosion agent for acid pickling, it prevents metal corrosion and is also used for black nickel plating.
Pharmaceuticals and pesticides: Used for producing raw materials for antibiotics, antihypertensive drugs, etc., as well as pesticides and plant defoliant agents.
Other industries: Used for color film processing, dyeing auxiliaries, rubber treatment and the manufacture of artificial mustard oil.
Laboratory and analytical purposes
Analytical reagents: Used for the determination of elements such as silver, copper, iron, and niobium.
Chemical synthesis: Used for manufacturing other thiocyanates or organic thiocyanates

⚠️Safety and Storage

Hazard: Toxic (Xn). Swallowing, skin contact or inhalation of dust is harmful (H302, H312, H332). It releases highly toxic gas when exposed to acid.
Storage requirements: Must be stored in a sealed and dry environment, placed in a cool and ventilated area. Strictly prohibit storage together with acids or alkalis.
