Thiourea, also chemically named as Thiocarbamide, is a nitrogen and sulfur containing compound. It has three functional. groups, amino, imino and thiol, each with important biological roles.
THIOUREA AR is used in vulcanization accelerators. It is used as an auxiliary agent. It is used in silver – gelatin photographic prints. It is used in diazo paper, light – sensitive photocopy paper.
The percentages of nitrogen and sulfur in all the samples synthesized from thiourea were roughly 5–20 wt. % and 3–8 wt. % even after washing with hot water, respectively.
