Potassium diethyldithiocarbamate is an important organic sulfur compound, commonly used as a metal chelating agent, rubber vulcanization accelerator and so on.

Industrial Microbicide

It can serve as a microbicide in industrial scenarios such as coatings, papermaking and cooling water systems. By inhibiting the enzyme activity of bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms, it prevents biological corrosion of equipment and mold growth of products.

Metal Precipitant

Thanks to its strong chelating property, it forms stable insoluble complex precipitates with heavy metal ions such as copper, lead and cadmium. It is often applied in the separation and purification of metal ions, or the quantitative detection of heavy metals in analytical chemistry.

Agricultural Insecticide Intermediate

It acts as an intermediate for some low-toxicity pesticides. Its derivatives can be used to control crop pests by interfering with the metabolic systems of pests.

Industrial Wastewater Treatment

As a high-efficiency heavy metal chelating agent, it is used to treat industrial wastewater containing toxic heavy metals such as lead, mercury and cadmium. It reduces the concentration of heavy metals in water through precipitation reaction to achieve discharge standards.
