Thiourea is a white crystalline solid available in Technical Grade, known for its ability to form stable complexes with various metal ions. It is an organosulfur compound that is soluble in water and functions as a building block in chemical synthesis.

With a standard 99% Purity, it is widely used as a leaching agent for gold and silver extraction, offering an alternative to traditional cyanide processes. Its Reducing Properties are also leveraged in the textile industry for stripping dyes.

In the electronics industry, it is utilized in the production of photosensitive materials and electroplating baths. It serves as an essential Specialty Chemical in the manufacture of resins, flame retardants, and pharmaceutical intermediates.

Thiourea

  • Metal Leaching: Effective alternative to cyanide for the extraction of gold and silver from ores and electronic waste.
  • Textile Processing: Used as a reducing agent in dyeing processes and for the manufacture of wash-and-wear textile finishes.
  • Electroplating: Component in plating baths to improve the brightness and adhesion of metal coatings on electronic parts.

Classified as Carc. 2, Repr. 2, and Acute Tox. 4 (Oral). Suspected of causing cancer; use Respirator with Dust Filter and Double Gloves.
