Features Of Arkema n-Dodecanethiol

  1. High-purity linear aliphatic thiol with excellent batch-to-batch consistency.

  2. Low odor profile compared to shorter-chain thiols, improving workplace handling safety.

  3. Effective chain-transfer agent in free-radical polymerization for precise molecular weight control.

  4. Good thermal and oxidative stability under standard processing conditions.

  5. Compatible with a broad range of monomers including (meth)acrylates, styrene, and vinyl acetate.

Typical Applications Of Arkema n-Dodecanethiol

  1. Chain transfer agent in acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs).

  2. Molecular weight regulator in styrenic thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs).

  3. Functional modifier in specialty coatings and ink resins.

  4. Intermediate in the synthesis of metal-binding ligands and surfactants.

  5. Additive for controlled radical polymerization (CRP) processes in R&D laboratories.
