It is almost completely non-irritating and non-toxic at the concentrations normally used as pharmaceutical additives.
- Excellent reducing ability and antioxidant performance
Not only can it be used as a stabilizer and antioxidant for antibiotics, but it can also be used permanent wave solutions because its excellent reducing ability causes it to cut the SS bonds in hair.
It also reduces metal oxides and is widely used as a metal rust preventive and rust remover.
- Renders materials soluble that are generally insoluble in water (Fig. 1)
A water-soluble functional group can be created for water-insoluble compounds, via S (sulfur).
(Difficulties may be presented by certain substrates.)
- Has antibacterial effects
It can also be used as an antibacterial preservative.
- Has high chain transfer ability
It can be used as a polymerization regulator in the radical polymerization of water-soluble vinyl monomers.

Catalysts & Auxiliaries, Chemical Auxiliaries, Chemical GoodsMultivalent mercaptan – Asahi Chemical Co. Ltd.
Polyvalent mercaptans are characterized by their ability to contribute to photo-curing and thermo-curing reactions.
Using this feature, it is anticipated that they will find applications in highly refractive resins, coating materials, adhesives, paints, etc.
In addition, mercaptans are widely used as chain transfer agents in radical polymerization, curing agents for epoxy resins, cleaning agents for electronic parts, and thin copper film manufacturing. It is expected that they will become even more sophisticated, with more applications in the future.SKU: n/a
