Description

Sodiumbutylmercuricthioglycollate CAS NO 64048-05-1 is a specialized organomercury compound primarily used as a preservative and antimicrobial agent. Its value lies in its potent biocidal properties, which are effective against a broad spectrum of bacteria and fungi. This makes it a critical component for industries requiring stringent microbial control, such as in the formulation of certain high-performance industrial biocides and preservative systems for sensitive materials.

Application

• Primary use as a powerful preservative in industrial fluid systems to prevent microbial degradation.
• Component in specialized antimicrobial formulations for material protection.
• Used in research and development of organometallic compounds and mercury chemistry.
• Potential application in the synthesis of other mercury-containing specialty chemicals.
• Historical use in certain biocidal products for controlling microbial growth in technical applications.

Quality Control

Our Sodiumbutylmercuricthioglycollate is manufactured under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and purity. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay, identity, and impurity profiles. We adhere to relevant Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for industrial chemicals, and our quality system is designed to meet the specific requirements of our global B2B clients.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is light-sensitive (store away from light) and easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its mercury content, specific local and international regulations for the storage of heavy metal compounds must be observed.
