Thiourea appears as white crystal/powder, is combustible, and on contact with fire, givesoff irritating or toxic fumes/gases. Thiourea is a reducing agent used primarily in the productionof bleached recycled pulp. In addition, it is also effective in the bleaching of stonegroundwood, pressurised groundwood. Thiourea undergoes decomposition on heatingand produces toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides and sulphur oxides. It reacts violently withacrolein, strong acids, and strong oxidants. The main application of thiourea is in textileprocessing and also is commonly employed as a source of sulphide. Thiourea is a precursorto sulphide to produce metal sulphides, for example, mercury sulphide, upon reactionwith the metal salt in aqueous solution. The industrial uses of thiourea include productionof flame-retardant resins and vulcanisation accelerators. Thiourea is used as an auxiliaryagent in diazo paper, light-sensitive photocopy paper, and almost all other typesof copy paper. Thiourea is used in many industrial applications, including as a chemicalintermediate or catalyst, in metal processing and plating, and in photoprocessing.
