thiram
Sign in to saveAlso known as bis(dimethylthiocarbamoyl) disulfide, tetramethylthiuram disulfide, thiuram, [Me2NC(S)S]2, TMTD, N,N'-(dithiodicarbonothioyl)bis(N-methylmethanamine), tetramethylenethiuram disulfide
Thiram is the simplest thiuram disulfide and the oxidized dimer of dimethyldithiocarbamate. It is used as a fungicide, ectoparasiticide to prevent fungal diseases in seed and crops and similarly as an animal repellent to protect fruit trees and ornamentals from damage by rabbits, rodents and deer. It is effective against Stem gall of coriander, damping off, smut of millet, neck rot of onion, etc. Thiram has been used in the treatment of human scabies, as a sun screen and as a bactericide applied directly to the skin or incorporated into soap.
