3-mercaptopropionic acid (3-MPA) is a versatile organic sulfur compound containing sulfhydryl and carboxyl groups. This oily liquid is commonly derived from 3-chloropropionic acid or acrylonitrile and thiourea. Its sulfhydryl sulfur has a strong affinity for gold, making it ideal for producing hydrophilic gold nanoparticles.
Used as an intermediate in the medicine fenalol and as a polyvinyl chloride stabilizer, 3-mercaptopropionic acid offers excellent stability, surpassing other stabilizers. It serves multiple purposes as an antioxidant, catalyst, and biochemical reagent.
Moreover, 3-mercaptopropionic acid acts as a chain transfer agent in polycarboxylic acid superplasticizer, boasting exceptional stability and a prolonged shelf life. This product is brought to you by Inner Mongolia Xingcheng Technology Development Co., Ltd.
