Background
Thiourea is used as a photographic fixing agent and stain remover. It is
also used as a rubber vulcanizing accelerator.
Thiourea is used in the coating of diazo copypaper and plan printing
paper ("blauwdrukpapier") to prevent oxidative yellow discoloration.
Synonyms
Thiocarbamide
Thiurea
Thiourea
Uses
Photocopy paper (diazo)
Photography
Resins
Rubber accelerator
Silver polish
Cross-Reactions
Possible crossreactions may occur between Thiourea and
- Dibutylthiourea (DBTU, used in rubber gloves, diving shoes,
diving suits, neoprene diving glasses, paint and glue removers, telephone
cards, corrosion inhibitors in metal fluids.
- Diethylthiourea (DETU, used in rubber gloves and steunzolen,
in neoprene afdichtstrippen, diving suits, diving glasses, brillenkoord
and in rubber glue for shoes,. It is also used as an anti-corrosant in
cleaning fluids.
- Dimethylthioureum (DMTU, used in textile patterns and plan
printing paper ("blauwdrukpapier")
- Diphenylthiourea (DPTU, used in neoprene gloves, vulcan heat
retainers, diving suits, orthopedic aids and in PVC plasters)
- Ethylbutylthioureum (EBTU, used in neoprene glue for shoes,
diving suits, brillenkoord and in rubber steunzolen)
- Ethyleenthiourea (ETU, used in black fireman suits, rubber
shoes, fungicides and anti-slimicides in the paper industry)
