Arsenic trisulfide As 2 S 3 is an amorphous form of chalcogenide glass that is commonly used for infrared applications because of its wide infrared transmission range stability to atmospheric moisture and nonlinear optical properties. Abstract At one time arsenic trisulfide As 2 S 3 glass was the only IR optical material produced commercially for infrared optical systems. This glass can be prepared by melt quenching or cooling.
Fire explosion and reactivity hazard information found in the literature for the mineral arsenic trisulfide orpiment does not apply to Arsenic Trisulfide Glass which is a stable product exhibiting no flammable properties.
The glass was produced by. Like any glass it can break into sharp-edged pieces and should be disposed accordingly when necessary. Structure and physical properties of amorphous chalcogenides depend on the method and condition of preparation. Therefore no special handling storage or transportation precautions extinguishment is required for Arsenic Trisulfide Glass.
