2-Ethylhexyl Thioglycolate
2-Ethylhexyl Thioglycolate (CAS: 7659-86-1) is a mercapto ester supplied as a colourless clear liquid with a mild, sulfurous odour.
It combines a branched, hydrophobic 2-ethylhexyl group with a reactive thiol, making it soluble in hydrocarbon and plasticiser systems and readily available for addition or transesterification chemistry.
Commercial assay is 99% with low free acidity and moisture, and the product is packed in drums under nitrogen to protect the thiol.
• PVC stabiliser intermediates: the main feedstock for organotin mercaptide heat stabilisers.
• Polymerisation chain transfer agent: controls molecular weight in acrylic and styrenic systems.
• Adhesives and sealants: a thiol component for thiol-ene and isocyanate cure systems.
• Lubricant additives: used to introduce sulfur-containing antiwear functionality.
