3-Mercaptopropionic acid (3-MPA) is a versatile organic sulfur compound containing sulfhydryl and carboxyl groups in its molecule. This oily liquid is commonly derived from 3-chloropropionic acid or acrylonitrile and thiourea.
Due to its sulfhydryl sulfur's strong affinity to gold, 3-mercaptopropionic acid is utilized in the production of hydrophilic gold nanoparticles. It serves as an intermediate in the medicine fenalol and is also employed as a stabilizer in polyvinyl chloride.
Compared to other stabilizers, 3-mercaptopropionic acid, also known as thioglycolic acid, offers superior stability, making it ideal for transparent products. Additionally, it functions as an antioxidant, catalyst, and biochemical reagent.
Moreover, this compound acts as a chain transfer agent in polycarboxylic acid superplasticizer, boasting excellent stability and a prolonged shelf life.
