Description

Decylthioacetic Acid CAS NO 10428-63-4 is a specialized organosulfur compound featuring a long alkyl chain linked to a thioacetic acid moiety. This unique structure makes it a valuable intermediate for synthesizing high-performance surfactants, lubricant additives, and specialty polymers. It is primarily sought after by R&D chemists and production engineers in the fine chemical, agrochemical, and advanced material manufacturing sectors.

Application

• Surfactant & Detergent Intermediate: Acts as a key building block for synthesizing anionic and nonionic surfactants with excellent wetting and emulsifying properties.
• Lubricant & Fuel Additive Precursor: Used to create extreme pressure (EP) additives and anti-wear agents for industrial lubricants and functional fluids.
• Polymer Modification Agent: Serves as a chain transfer agent or comonomer to introduce sulfur functionalities, modifying the properties of plastics and elastomers.
• Pharmaceutical & Agrochemical Synthesis: Functions as a versatile synthon in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and crop protection agents.
• Metal Extraction & Chelation: Employed in hydrometallurgical processes for the selective extraction and recovery of specific metal ions.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Formulation: Incorporated into coatings and treatment fluids to provide protective layers on metal surfaces.
