Product Description
Tertiary mercaptans, primarily tertiary dodecyl mercaptan, make up Sulfole mercaptan (thus the source for its acronym TDM). This product contains hydrogen sulfide-produced propylene tetramer-derived highly branched C12H25 alkyl mercaptan isomers. In order to incorporate large C12H25 alkyl-thio substituents into chemical compounds, it serves as an intermediary. In order to regulate the molecular weight of polymeric systems undergoing free-radical polymerization, it is mostly used as a chain transfer agent.
