Clear, highly refractory liquid.
Practically insoluble in water.
Miscible with alcohol or ether.
Heavy vapors ignite easily and explode.
It decomposes in sunlight and becomes yellow due to its sulfur content.
Very soluble in grease, resin, rubber, wax, sulfur, phosphorus, etc.
With hhlorine gas it produces sulfocarbonyl chloride (CSCl2).
With alcohols and caustic soda, it forms xanthogenates, or ester salts of dithiocene
Cellulose also undergoes a similar reaction to produce cellulose xanthogenate, which can be pulled properly (viscose silk)

• in the manufacture of rayon
• as an industrial solvent
