General

What is Thiourea? Thiourea, also known as thiocarbamide, is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH4N2S. It is a white, crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water and alcohol. It is commonly used in a variety of chemical and industrial applications, including as a reagent in organic synthesis and as a stabiliser in photographic processing.

Frequent Uses:

Chemical Synthesis
Widely used in organic synthesis as a reagent for the production of sulphur-containing compounds. It is also involved in the preparation of thiourea derivatives, which are used in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.

Dye Manufacturing
In the textile and dye industry, thiourea serves as an important precursor in the production of dyes and pigments, where its chemical properties help create stable and vibrant colours.

Metal Treatment
Used in the treatment of metals, particularly in processes like electroplating and metal finishing, where it helps to improve the quality and appearance of metal surfaces.

Photographic Industry
Thiourea is used as a stabiliser in photographic processing. It helps to prevent the degradation of photographic images by reducing the effects of light and environmental exposure.
