n-Dodecyl Mercaptan, also known as 1-dodecanethiol, is used as a sulfur intermediate in the production of lubricant additives, antioxidants, polymers, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals.
n-Dodecyl Mercaptan—also called 1-dodecanethiol, DDT, lauryl mercaptan, and NDDM—from Chevron Phillips Chemical is a high-purity chemical intermediate that finds diverse applications in various industries. It is an excellent source of sulfur for the production of lubricant additives used in finished lubricants and metalworking fluids. n-Dodecyl mercaptan is also used as a chemical reactant in the manufacture of antioxidants and can be used to make certain polymers, such as polystyrene and acrylics. Additionally, it is a vital component in the production of pharmaceutical drugs, and it is used in the agrochemical synthesis of fungicides and insecticides.
