AB Carbon  disulfide  is  a  volatile  organic  solvent  that  is  used  industrially  as  a  starting  material  in  rayon  and  cellophane  manufacture  in  the  viscose  process.  It  was  important  historically  as  a  pesticide  fumigant  and  in  the  cold  vulcanization  of  rubber.  Although  no  longer  used  as  a  vulcanizing  agent,  carbon  disulfide  remains  an  industrial  precursor  in  rubber  industry  chemical  synthesis  and  has  a  number  of  other  industrial  applications.  Carbon  disulfide  also  is  widely  used  as  a  solvent  in  a  variety  of  laboratory  settings.  It  is  a  metabolite  of  the  drug  disulfiram  and  a  spontaneous  breakdown  by-product  of  the  pesticides  metam  sodium  and  sodium  tetrathiocarbamate.
