Carbon Disulfide (CS2) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- CS2
- Carbon Disulphide
- Carbon Bisulfide
Carbon disulfide supplier for viscose, mining reagent and specialty manufacturing buyers in Malaysia. Written as carbon disulphide in much Malaysian technical documentation and quoted as CS2, it is a colourless to faintly yellow volatile liquid bought as a reaction feedstock and a solvent.
It is supplied as a liquid only, in technical grade, higher-purity viscose grade, and cuts controlled for water or residual sulphide. Grade selection usually follows the process rather than price, so the specification is the place to start an enquiry.
Viscose rayon and cellulose film plants use carbon disulfide for xanthation. Reagent manufacturers use it for xanthate flotation collectors and rubber chemicals, and process plants use it to dissolve sulphur, phosphorus, resins and rubber.
Send the required grade, specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.

Carbon Disulfide grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Technical grade carbon disulfide | colourless to faintly yellow liquid | — | General industrial solvent and reaction feedstock duty, including xanthate chemistry and the dissolution of sulphur, phosphorus, resins and rubber. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Viscose grade carbon disulfide | colourless liquid, high purity | — | Viscose rayon and regenerated cellulose film production, where a tighter purity profile is specified for xanthation. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Low-water carbon disulfide | colourless liquid with controlled water content | — | Moisture-sensitive synthesis and solvent duty where residual water affects yield, colour or downstream product quality. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Buyer-specified carbon disulfide | colourless liquid to agreed purity and residual limits | — | Existing processes that already run to a stated purity, sulphide or water limit and need a matching cut quoted against that specification. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Carbon Disulfide applications
Common questions about carbon disulfide
What is carbon disulfide used for?
Carbon disulfide is bought mainly as a xanthation reagent for viscose rayon and regenerated cellulose film, as a feedstock for xanthate flotation collectors and rubber chemicals, and as a solvent for sulphur, phosphorus, fats, waxes, resins and rubber. State the application so the suitable grade is quoted.
Are carbon disulfide and carbon disulphide the same product?
Yes. Both spellings refer to the same material, and Malaysian technical documentation uses them interchangeably. CS2 is the formula shorthand buyers quote, and carbon bisulfide is an older name for it, so use whichever term appears on your specification.
Which carbon disulfide grade should I request?
Technical grade covers general solvent and reaction feedstock duty. Viscose grade is specified where a tighter purity profile is needed for xanthation, and a low-water cut is requested for moisture-sensitive work. If you already run to a stated limit, include it with the enquiry.
What specifications should a buyer provide for carbon disulfide?
State the intended process, the required purity, and any limits for water content and residual sulphide. For an established plant, supply the current specification so the quoted grade can be matched to what the process already accepts.
Is carbon disulfide available in a solid or powder form?
No. Carbon disulfide is a liquid only, so it is not comparable with sulphur powder or with solid sulphide and sulphite salts. Those are separate products with their own pages, so order the exact material named on your specification.
What details are needed for a carbon disulfide price enquiry?
Provide the grade, target specification, quantity and delivery location, and mention required timing and documentation. Prices are quoted with a stated validity period, and availability and commercial terms are confirmed with the offer.
