Amagwiritsidwa ntchito ngati kuchepetsa wothandizila kapena mordant wothandizila kupanga utoto wa sulfure, monga wothandizila flotation mu makampani sanali achitsulo zitsulo, monga mordant wothandizira kwa thonje kufa, ntchito Mu mafakitale zikopa, mu makampani pharmacy kupanga phenacetin, mu makampani electroplate, kwa hydriding galvanize.The anhydrous substance ndi whitecrystal, mosavuta deluquescent, ndipo ali ndi asolubility m'madzi (15.4G/lOOmLwater pa 10 °C.Ndipo 57.2G/OOmLwater pa 90 °C.).Ikakumana ndi asidi, hydrogen sulfide imapangidwa. Imasungunuka pang'ono mu mowa, osasungunuka mu ether.Njira yamadzimadzi imakhala yamchere kwambiri, motero imatchedwanso alkali ya sulfide.Kusungunuka mu sodium polysulfide.
