Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of sulfur-containing organic compounds, particularly in the development of rubber additives and vulcanization accelerators. It plays a role in improving the cross-linking efficiency in rubber production, enhancing the material’s elasticity, durability, and resistance to heat and abrasion. Also investigated for use in specialty polymers and as a building block in agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals due to its stable disulfide linkage and heterocyclic structure.
