3-MPSNa (3-Mercapto-1-propanesulfonic acid, sodium salt)

(CAS No. 17636-10-1)

(CAS No. 17636-10-1)

(Figure 1)
(Figure 1)

● Makes it possible to dissolve materials that are insoluble in water soluble (Fig. 1)

A water-soluble functional group can be created for water-insoluble compounds, via S (sulfur).
It is reported that phthalocyanine can now be made soluble (JP 2003-12952).

● Really? Is this a sulfur compound? Amazingly little odor

Compared with other mercaptans, it has extremely little odor.

● It can be used as a metal surface treatment agent

Performs as a metal rust preventive and rust remover.
It also serves as an additive for electrolytic copper plating (JP 2012-127003).

● Has high chain transfer ability

It can be used as a polymerization regulator in the radical polymerization of water-soluble vinyl monomers (JP 2005-029747).
