Diethylsulfide is a compound that is often used in the making of plating baths. Mostpeople know it as sodium dichromate. When using this agent for plating, it mustbe combined with other compounds that will strengthen the bond between thesilver or gold particles and the anodized aluminum surface they will be attachedto. The strength of the bond depends on how much time and effort was put intoselecting the right combination.
Diethyl sulfide is a popular antiseptic for use in the dentalprofession. It is commonly used as a drying agent for enamel scraping, in thelab, on ceramic objects, and in the dental chair. It has a high melting point,so it has a high boiling point as well. Because of these attributes, it iscommonly used as a stabilizer and in the formulation of acrylic resins. Inaddition, it is an antibacterial agent and corrosive, so it is frequently addedto cosmetics.
Manymaterials that react with sulfur contain an amino group known as cysteine.Sulfur compounds containing cysteine can be dispersed into water and causelittle effect. The most common effect of sulfur in cosmetics and detergents isthat of hydrogen sulfide, which breaks down protein, releasing the sulfatedproteins (also known as disulfides) to the water. Disulfides are harmfulbecause they form a toxic gas when heated. Sulfide, though, does not containsulfuric acid and does not release toxic gases during heating.
