Sourcing Sodium Sulfide Flakes? ChemicalDekho connects you with major manufacturers like Grasim and Bodal Chemicals. Secure bulk supplies for leather tanning and sulfur dye production.
Sodium Sulfide (CAS 1313-82-2) is the primary agent used in the 'Unhairing' stage of leather processing, effectively dissolving hair from hides. In the textile sector, it is essential for the production and application of sulfur dyes. It also serves as a flotation agent in the mining of copper and other ores.
Listings cover the standard 60% Yellow Flakes (Low Iron) and Red Flakes. Iron-free material is critical for clear dye results and high-quality leather.

Causes severe skin burns and eye damage. Contact with acids releases highly toxic and flammable Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) gas. Very toxic to aquatic life.
Sodium sulfide reacts with moisture in the air to release small amounts of Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) gas, which has that characteristic odor.
Yellow flakes are higher purity with lower iron content. Red flakes contain more iron and are used where color doesn't matter, such as in certain mining processes.
It will instantly release dangerous amounts of toxic H2S gas. You must NEVER mix it with acids.
No. Sodium Sulfide is Na2S. NaHS is Sodium Hydrosulfide. NaHS is more acidic and used in different stages of leather processing.
