Product Description:
3-Mercaptopropionic acid (3-MPA) is a versatile organic sulfur compound containing sulfhydryl and carboxyl groups in its molecular structure. This oily liquid is commonly derived from 3-chloropropionic acid or acrylonitrile and thiourea.
With its sulfhydryl sulfur's strong affinity to gold, 3-mercaptopropionic acid is utilized in the production of hydrophilic gold nanoparticles. Additionally, it serves as an intermediate in the medicine fenalol and functions as a stabilizer in polyvinyl chloride.
Notably, 3-mercaptopropionic acid boasts exceptional stability, making it an ideal choice for transparent products and outperforming other stabilizers. Its applications extend to antioxidant, catalyst, and biochemical reagent roles.
Moreover, this compound acts as a chain transfer agent in polycarboxylic acid superplasticizer, offering excellent stability and a prolonged shelf life.
