Methyl Disulfide (CAS 624-92-0) is a compound that chemists and formulators recognize for its distinctive characteristics and utility. Understanding its precise chemical and physical properties, along with safety protocols, is fundamental for its effective and safe application across various industries. As a dedicated manufacturer and supplier, we ensure our clients have access to this vital information.

Chemically, Methyl Disulfide is an organic disulfide with the formula CH3SSCH3. It is a colorless liquid, though often appears yellowish in impure samples, with a molecular weight of 94.19 g/mol. Its boiling point is approximately 109-110 °C, and it has a flash point of around 4 °C (closed cup), classifying it as a highly flammable liquid. Its vapor pressure is significant, meaning it readily vaporizes at room temperature. Its solubility in water is limited, around 2.5 g/L at 20 °C, but it is miscible with many organic solvents.

The organoleptic properties of Methyl Disulfide are perhaps its most defining feature. It possesses a strong, pungent, sulfurous odor, often likened to garlic, onion, or even rotten eggs. This makes it a key component in creating specific savory flavor profiles in the food industry and contributes unique notes in certain fragrance compositions. For industrial users, this strong odor also serves as an early warning for leaks.

Safety considerations are paramount when handling Methyl Disulfide. Due to its flammability, it must be kept away from ignition sources. Inhalation of vapors can cause drowsiness and dizziness, and it is harmful if swallowed. It can also cause skin and eye irritation. Proper personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, safety glasses, and appropriate respiratory protection if ventilation is inadequate, is essential. We provide comprehensive Safety Data Sheets (SDS) with detailed handling, storage, and emergency procedures to all our clients who purchase this chemical. Our commitment as a supplier in China includes ensuring that all safety information is readily available.

For those looking to buy Methyl Disulfide for industrial or commercial use, understanding these properties is crucial for risk assessment and process design. The competitive price we offer for high-purity Methyl Disulfide makes it an accessible option for various applications, but safe handling and storage practices must always be prioritized. Ensuring you source from a reliable manufacturer who provides thorough documentation is a key aspect of responsible procurement.
