2-Ethylhexyl Thioglycolate
Essential mercaptan ligand intermediate for organotin stabilizer synthesis and polymer modification.
2-EHTG (2-Ethylhexyl Thioglycolate) is a key mercaptan intermediate used as a ligand source in the production of organotin mercaptide stabilizers. Its branched alkyl chain provides excellent compatibility with PVC matrices while the thioester functional group enables efficient stabilizer synthesis. Voltiquetech supplies high-purity 2-EHTG with low color and minimal odor.
