Chevron Phillips 2-Mercaptoethanol is used for consumer and industrial applications, food nutrition applications, petroleum refinery, polymers and rubber applications and water treatment applications.
Chevron Phillips 2-Mercaptoethanol (2-ME)is used for several different applications:
It is used as a chain transfer agent in polymers and rubber applications. The product is also used as ink and dye additives for consumer and industrial applications. Moreover, 2- Mercaptoethanol is highly volatile, yet soluble material that is used in cleaning agents, as corrosion inhibitor and as in tin stabilizer in PVC production.
Last but not least, 2-ME is an agrochemical intermediate used in food and nutritional applications to maintain fertile land and raise healthy livestock
