About Tiron, GR

Tiron is an indicator (AR grade) carrying the CAS registry number 149-45-1. Formula C6H4Na2O8S2, molecular weight 314.2 g/mol. Systematically, it is named disodium, 4,5-dihydroxybenzene-1,3-disulfonate. Alternative names: Sodium pyrocatechol-3,5-disulfonate and Disodium 4,5-dihydroxybenzene-1,3-disulfonate.

The material typically appears as a white to off-white to grey powder. Literature values give a melting point of above 300 °C. Store in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place. Under GHS it is labelled “Warning”, so handle it with suitable PPE and consult the SDS.

Typical applications include titration end-point detection, pH determination and analytical testing. It is used across academic and industrial research.

Standard pack sizes are 5 g, 10 g, 25 g and 100 g, and every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and we export worldwide.
