Dimethyl disulfide

Dimethyl disulfide (CAS 624-92-0 ), commonly known as DMDS, is an organosulfur compound used across refining, agriculture, and flavor industries. Methyl disulfide is a recognized alternative name in fragrance and flavor sourcing contexts. It functions primarily as a sulfiding agent for catalysts, a soil fumigant, and a flavoring ingredient. In petroleum refining, DMDS presulfides hydroprocessing catalysts before startup, activating them efficiently. This process occurs without requiring hazardous hydrogen sulfide gas handling. Food and flavor manufacturers use it as a FEMA 3536 -approved flavoring agent, contributing savory, onion, and cooked-meat notes. These notes are essential for processed foods and seasonings. In agriculture, it acts as a soil fumigant and nematicide, replacing methyl bromide in pre-plant treatments for high-value crops. Biotechnology and fermentation applications also employ DMDS as a sulfur source in microbial culture media. This is particularly useful where controlled sulfur supplementation is required for specific growth. Dimethyl disulfide is supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid, typically in drum, IBC, and bulk tanker quantities. Food-grade material is available meeting strict industry specifications for safety. Technical and catalyst-grade material is sourced for refinery and agricultural applications. Purity grades commonly range from 98% to 99%+ depending on the specific end-use requirements of the client. Contact us for supply of Dimethyl disulfide Request Quote
