Features Of Arkema 1-Dodecanethiol

  1. High-purity aliphatic thiol with exceptional molecular consistency and low odor profile.

  2. Excellent reactivity in thiol-ene click chemistry, enabling rapid, efficient, and catalyst-free polymerizations.

  3. Superior thermal and oxidative stability compared to shorter-chain thiols, supporting robust processing conditions.

  4. Low volatility and favorable handling characteristics due to its C12 chain length and narrow boiling range.

  5. Compatible with a broad range of monomers, resins, and functional polymers used in advanced coatings and adhesives.

Typical Applications Of Arkema 1-Dodecanethiol

  1. UV-curable coatings for industrial wood, plastic, and metal substrates.

  2. Functional additives in pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) to modulate crosslink density and tack.

  3. Chain-transfer agent in controlled radical polymerization (e.g., RAFT) for specialty acrylics and elastomers.

  4. Surface modifier for gold nanoparticles and quantum dots in nanomaterial synthesis and stabilization.

  5. Building block for synthesizing thiol-functionalized silanes and specialty surfactants.
