Carbon Disulphide Extra low Benzene (Glass Distilled)

Carbon disulphide is a chemical compound composed of carbon and sulphur, with the molecular formula CS2. It is a colourless, volatile liquid with a distinctive, unpleasant odour that is commonly used as a solvent in various industrial processes.

"Extra low benzene" refers to the concentration of benzene, a toxic and potentially carcinogenic chemical, in the carbon disulphide. In the UK, regulations require that the maximum concentration of benzene in carbon disulphide be kept as low as possible to ensure the safety of workers and the environment. Carbon disulphide with extra low benzene concentration has an even lower concentration of benzene than the very low benzene standard.

Overall, carbon disulphide with extra low benzene concentration is a useful industrial solvent that can be used safely with appropriate precautions. Its use can help to minimize the exposure of workers and the environment to harmful chemicals.
