Fa'aaogaina e fai ma sui fa'aitiitia po'o sui mordant i le faia o vali sulfur, e pei flotation sui i alamanuia non-ferrous metallurgical, e pei o mordant sui mo cotton mate, fa'aaogaina I tanner alamanuia, i fale talavai le faia o nisi phenacetin, i alamanuia electroplate, mo hydriding galvanize.The mea anhydrous o se tioata paepae, faigofie deliquescent, ma e solubility i le vai (15.4G/lOOmLvai i le 10 °C.Ma 57.2G/OOmLvai i le 90 °C.).A fete'ena'i ma le suka, e fa'atupuina le hydrogen sulfide. E solu teisi i le ava malosi, e le mafai ona solu ile eter.O le vaifofo vai e malosi le alkaline, o lea e taʻua foi o le sulfide alkali.Fa'amavae i le sulfurgenerated sodium polysulfide.O oloa tau pisinisi e masani ona i ai mea leaga mo le piniki, lanu mumu, samasama poloka.Corrosive, toxic.In le airoxidation o le sodium thiosulfate.
