Ammonium thiocyanate

Ammonium thiocyanate is mainly used in agriculture in the manufacture of herbicides, especially in combination with aminotriazole. It is also involved in the synthesis of thiocarbamide, translucent resins and the manufacture of matches. It is used as a stabilizing product in photography, as an accelerating admixture for concretes and mortars. Some corrosion endurance tests of ferrous metals use thiocyanate as an etchant. It is used as a dyeing adjuvant in the textile industry, as a tracer product in oil exploration.
