Frequent Uses

Rayon and Cellophane Production
The principal industrial uses of carbon disulfide, consuming 75% of the annual production, are the manufacture of viscose rayon and cellophane film.

Chemical Synthesis
It is also a valued intermediate in chemical synthesis of carbon tetrachloride. It is widely used in the synthesis of organosulfur compounds such as xanthates, which are used in froth flotation, a method for extracting metals from their ores. Carbon disulfide is also a precursor to dithiocarbamates, which are used as drugs (e.g. Metam sodium) and rubber chemistry.

Solvents
Its ability to dissolve fats, waxes, oils, sulfur, and other organic compounds makes it valuable in a variety of industrial processes.
