3-Mercaptopropionic Acid - 3MPA

3-Mercaptopropionic acid and its derivatives are main materials for the synthesis of PVC-stabilizers and are used as chain transfer and cross-linking agents in polymerizations. These compounds are also useful as ion exchange catalysts, coupling agents, and in UV-curable formulations. 3-Mercaptopropionic acid is a clear, near water-white liquid with strong odor used as a basic material in the production of PVC stabilizers.
