Potassium thiocyanate (CAS 333-20-0) is an inorganic salt with molecular formula KSCN. It is industrially synthesized via the reaction of potassium hydroxide or carbonate with hydrogen sulfide and carbon disulfide, yielding a product with minimum 98% purity for high-efficiency chemical processes.
Strictly avoid ingestion as it interferes with thyroid function. Store in cool, dry areas away from acids to prevent toxic HCN gas release. Personnel must wear respiratory protection and chemical-resistant gloves during handling.
