Hoʻohana ʻia e like me ka mea hoʻohaʻahaʻa a i ʻole ka mordant agent i ka hana ʻana i ka sulfur dyes, e like me ka flotation agent i ka ʻoihana non-ferrous metallurgical, e like me ka mordant agent no ka pulupulu make, hoʻohana ʻia I ka ʻoihana tanner, i ka ʻoihana lāʻau e hana ana i kekahi phenacetin, i ka ʻoihana electroplate, no ka hydriding galvanize.The ʻO ka mea anhydrous he keʻokeʻo keʻokeʻo, maʻalahi ka deliquescent, a he solubility i ka wai (15.4G/lOOmLwai ma 10 °C.A me 57.2G/OOmLwai ma 90 °C.).Ke hana ʻia me ka waika, hoʻokumu ʻia ka hydrogen sulfide. Hiki ke hoʻoheheʻe ʻia i loko o ka waiʻona, hiki ʻole ke hoʻoheheʻe ʻia i ka etera.He alkaline ikaika ka hoʻonā wai, no laila ua kapa ʻia ʻo ia he alkali sulfide.Hoʻoheheʻe ʻia i loko o ka sodium polysulfide sulfurgenerated. ʻO nā huahana ʻoihana pinepine nā mea haumia no ka ʻulaʻula, ʻulaʻula ʻulaʻula, ʻulaʻula melemele.
