Thiouria (Thiocarbamide)

Product Description

Thiourea (Code: 06240), also known as Thiocarbamide, is a white crystalline solid with mild sulfurous odor. It is a sulfur-containing organic compound structurally similar to urea, where the oxygen atom is replaced by sulfur. Thiourea exhibits strong reducing, complexing, and catalytic properties, making it highly valuable in both laboratory research and industrial manufacturing.

In laboratories, Thiourea is commonly used as a reagent, reducing agent, and intermediate in organic synthesis and analytical chemistry. Industrially, it finds applications in textile processing, electroplating, photography, and polymer chemistry. It is also an important precursor for pharmaceuticals, dyes, and metal–thiourea complexes.
