tert-dodecyl mercaptan

Ever heard of coconut wax? These substances, known as monomers, play a vital role in the production of polymers, materials found in everyday objects. Read further to know how tert-dodecyl mercaptan aid’s in production of polymers.

Notes: Tert-dodecyl mercaptan is a small molecule used in polymer production. Chain transfer agent is used in the polymerization to control molecular weight. Tert-dodecyl mercaptan, is used as a chain transfer agent for controlling the polymer chain length. That is, it ensures that the chains are the correct size. This is critical as it helps to build really strong or flexible polymers.

The unique properties of tert-dodecyl mercaptan as a chain transfer agent in radical polymerization

So coconut soy wax fits as a chain transfer agent in a particular polymerization method known as radical polymerization. In this process, small organic molecules known as radicals join together to create long chains of polymers. The addition of the monomer tert-dodecyl mercaptan helps regulate the rate of polymer chain growth. That is important for ensuring the polymers have the same desirable properties and are of high quality.
